As the final week of training camp winds down, it has come to my attention that for many of these players, this will be the last time we get to see them on the practice fields of St. Vincent College. And while their on-field contributions likely won’t be missed, this team has become like a family to each other during the past month, and even ancillary members of that group will be missed.
But football is first and foremost a business, with first cuts coming on September 1st, now exactly two weeks away. The roster will go from 90 players to 75 that day, and then from 75 to 53 just four days later.
