It is number-crunching season in the NFL. Teams are in the process of whittling their rosters from 90 all the way down to 53. By the time the August 31 deadline hits, nearly 1,200 players across the league will have lost their jobs. A reminder that this is a harsh business.
“I think Billy Davis made the point. Billy got cut in his one tryout with the Dolphins,” said Chip Kelly, who didn’t have to deal with anything quite like this in college. “That is the only time you get cut, and you remember that for the rest of your life. We have to do it, that’s part of our job, but I think we were conscious of that. We sat down with everybody [during the first round of cuts]. Our coordinators all sat down with everybody. Our position coach sat down with them. It’s a difficult time.”

Bryce Brown heard something pop and he thought he had broken his left ankle.
A lineman stepped on the foot during practice Monday, keeping that leg stationary while the rest of his body carried forward. It twisted.
“I felt it. I heard it. Everything,” he said.
He was assisted off the field by a pair of trainers. Turns out it was just a scare. Brown was able to put pressure on it and after a brief once-over from the medical staff, he had the ankle taped up and was sent back on the field. He needs to be further evaluated, but plans on playing Thursday in New York.
Crisis averted, and onto the next relevant topic — his fumbling tendencies.

The fight for the final starting safety spot could come down to the wire.
Chip Kelly told reporters Monday that the starters will not play in the preseason finale against the Jets. That likely includes Patrick Chung, who has nailed down a starting job. As for the other post?
“I think we’ll get some work depending on how Billy [Davis] wants to rotate those guys back there, so we may get an opportunity to see them” said Kelly. “I think Pat may not go on Thursday but the other guys will go. Trying to finalize it that way.”
True, the numbers are still execrable: As of April 2013, the city is owed $522 million in delinquent property taxes–which far exceeds the $50 million price […]

If Michael Vick stayed between the painted lines during the first two preseason games, he did a little more off-roading against the Jaguars on Saturday. There were more risky decisions.
DeSean Jackson says that just comes with the territory.
“Mike is always out there trying to do the best he can in any way possible,” said Jackson. “He just tried to extend some plays where he probably could have gotten out of bounds or threw the ball out, things like that. But that’s Mike Vick. That’s what you’ve got to deal with when you’re dealing with Mike Vick.”
