So in effect sounds like they can carry a 54-man roster until Saturday when Cushings exemption expires ?

Yepper, that is the way that I understand it.

They are trying to see which guys get healthy by Saturday so they can have a a strong special teams. It appears Sharpton is going to be available so that may mean Greenhouse goes back to the PS.

If Cushing is one of the 54 I counted and still has his exemption at this point, then that would mean there are 2 roster spots available. When Cushing's exemption expires on Saturday, there will still be one spot available.

You might be thinking the roster can carry 55, but its 53.

So, right now with Cushing being 54, they are one over, not two under.

I was a little surprised they cut Jamison as well.

Perhaps Anderson will do well here.

You're right, I was thinking it was 55 for some reason. Never mind.

It would be nice if Smith were to step up and have a good game if Mario is laid up. Kubiak says this will be a very physical game. I hope it will be for us and not so much for them.

IMO, it will have to be for us if we are to win. If they start knocking us around ....... we are toast. If we can out punch them, we will win. Kind of like the Titanic and Jags games.
