From Mike Greene:
"Final cuts just came down, and there's an elephant in the room. How on earth do they keep Weaver over Fehoko? How on earth do they keep Elijah Jones or Kei'Trel Clark over Hall? It needs to addressed because Fehoko and Hall were two of the MVPs of preseason, and the message this sends is 'your draft position matters more than your performance.'"
From Steve I:
"Simi Fehoko is going to be in the NFL this year by virtue of how well he played in the pre-season. But I'm still upset about him getting cut. The injustice of it. It's discouraging. You're telling us that this dude was fated to be cut. Before Game 1 they knew he would be cut today, no matter how well he played."
I am guessing Simi would be flattered by all of this. I'll start by saying I thought Fehoko was going to make the team. However, and I am guessing here, if it came down to Fehoko and Xavier Weaver, perhaps they thought Weaver wouldn't make it through waivers to the practice squad. Fehoko, who is a vested vet, doesn't have to go through waivers. He can sign elsewhere, but it might be easier to keep him on the PS. I'll be honest, I don't understand some of the anger; we are talking deep depth here and not starters.
But I am also reminded of the great Cap Capi. Cap had a couple of great preseasons. He didn't stick. Fans were upset. But life went on. By the way, there is a good chance both Fehoko and Hall will be on the practice squad.
