The Final Two

The names of the final two cuts have been posted on the Steelers' team site: OLB Andre Frazier and WR Quincy Morgan. Either or both seem likely to appear soon on the Patriots' roster.

And then there were 53. Duce Staley is the third back behind Willie Parker and Verron Haynes, and may not dress; Marvin Philip has been retained, probably as insurance against complications with Chukky Okobi's neck; and Arnold Harrison used a strong final pre-season game to unseat Frazier at the bottom of the OLB depth chart. I wonder, though, if the Steelers are through making moves: a quick glance at the waiver wire shows that among the cuts at QB is Stefan LeFors, the talented prospect lately of the Carolina Panthers. Mike McMahon was cut by the Vikings; granted, McMahon sucks, but he might be better in a pinch than Cedric Wilson, the current emergency QB. Another interesting cut is Packers RB Najeh Davenport, a bruiser who has performed well at times. Character may be an issue for Davenport, though: apparently, when at Miami U, he once took a dump in a woman's laundry hamper.

So we'll see.
