Nice story on Barry becoming even more of a leader on the Cowboys defense: http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/p...-offseason

Nice article on Greco fighting to maintain his starting role: http://www.wkyc.com/story/sports/nfl/bro.../32418971/

I was worried that John might be the odd man out after the Browns drafted Erving, but what little I have seen of him so far, I don't think he's ready to start, so I expect Greco to keep the job at least for now.

Saw parts of the Vikings and Texans games. Kerin played much of the game at center for the Vikes, as their starting center is still nursing an injury. He looked very good from what I could see, and I have to believe he is going to make the roster this year.

Mancz played guard with the 1st team OL for much of the game, and then switched over to center late, so I'm assuming he's played the entire game. Looked good as well, although did seem to miss a couple assignments. He also would seem to have a great shot at making the roster.

Parmele (Browns) and Madison (Broncos) both released today. Teams have to get down to 75 by tomorrow, and then to 53 by the end of the week.

Tough break for Parmele. The Browns are really banged up at the RB position so I'm sort of surprised. I feel as if he's been around and around the league trying to make a team for years now. It's great to see he's still competing at the high level of the NFL, but what are his chances he actually makes a team in the near future?

I don't think Jalen was signed to be anything more than a camp body for the Browns. They have 4 RBs on the roster that are all highly thought of in some way shape or form, so he never really had a shot, I don't think. Still surprised they let him go before the last preseason game.

He saw the field quite a bit for the Ravens and then the Jags, primarily as a kick returner. But last year he got 1 game and 1 carry for the Cards before they let him go. Would love to see him get a regular role somewhere, but think that isn't likely to happen.

Reedy waived by the Falcons: http://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/blog/...d5ebb4f707

Sylvestre with 5 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble with a few minutes to go in the 3rd. Making a hard push to make the roster.

Official lists not out yet, but it's being reported on twitter that Flu made the 53-man with the Titans! Congrats David.

In not so good news, it's being reported that Sylvestre will be placed on injured reserve by the Colts. Apparently suffered an ankle injury near the end of the final preseason game. http://www.stampedeblue.com/2015/9/5/926...ed-reserve

Still waiting word on Mancz, Kerin and Elliott.

Well, so much for twitter. Fluellen was released by the Titans. Too bad.

Looks like Mancz and Elliott and TJ made their rosters.

Still not sure about Zac.

confirmed now that Kerin makes the Vikes roster. Good year for Rockets in the NFL.

Of course, these things aren't set in stone, as teams will juggle rosters picking up players who were cut by other teams, but still good to see so many Rockets making an impression.

Just watched a little bit of the Q4 of the Titans game, where Flu was the featured back. He had some really impressive runs. Picked up blitzed too. Hopefully he showed enough to make the practice squad or be picked up somewhere else.

Tough for sylvestre to get hurt, but I R means he's on the team. He can recover, practice to a degree and train and be on the inside coming into next year camp

Flu signed to the Titan's practice squad. Although brought in another RB in a trade with the Browns for Terrance West. Hopefully Flu will stick.

By the way, in that league up north, Dan Molls was activated from the practice squad for Hamilton this week. http://www.900chml.com/2015/09/01/norwood-daly/

Jermaine Robinson is still out injured for Ottawa.

So, as of today, Rockets in the NFL stand at:

Barry Church - Dallas
Jayrone Elliott - Green Bay
TJ Fatinikun - Tampa Bay
David Fluellen - Tennessee (practice squad)
Bruce Gradkowski - Pittsburgh (IR)
John Greco - Cleveland
Andrew Hawkins - Cleveland
Zac Kerin - Minnesota
Brett Kern - Tennessee
Greg Mancz - Houston
Lance Moore - Detroit
Junior Sylvestre - Indianapolis (IR)

Parmele, Madison & Reedy not on rosters as of now.

Not bad a representation. Am I wrong in thinking that every one of them was an undrafted free agent? (Sorry, its late and I am just too lazy to look it up)

Greco (3rd round) & Bruce (6th) were both drafted. Parmele (6th) also. Rest were free agents.
