The preseason games are finished and the teams are working on their final cuts for their rosters. We've had a glimpse of how the second and third strings might look so now it's time to see who's left.
Like most pre-seasons, this year's set of games were filled with many interesting moments and, unfortunately, all too many of them resulted in injuries on the field. Since so much of the pre-season play is geared toward fielding the second and third string players, it's hard to get a real sense of how the starters on each team will so, but we do still get a look at some of the starters and can get a feel for how the regular season could go. All the teams must have their final rosters locked down by 9 PM tonight.
For Baltimore fans, one of the biggest news stories of the pre-season was the selection of Justin Tucker over Billy Cundiff for the team's kicker position. While Cundiff did quite well in training camp, Tucker was better across the board and won the position. Cundiff was released over the weekend and promptly picked up by the Redskins.
Out of the 16 games in this last week of the pre-season, I picked 12 winners correctly, so I'm fairly happy. I'll wait for the final roster posting before attempting to finalize my picks for next week's games. Since both my husband and I will be participating in a pick-em league this season, we'll be paying close attention to all the games starting next week.
