Other NFL cuts of interest....

People still hating on Harper.

The man played like 4 snaps and already looked better than anyone we had since Minter.

 

 
Duke Ihenacho, S, Denver Broncos
 
sswk1 ihenachoAfter going undrafted out of San Jose State in 2012, Duke Ihenacho (+3.0) signed with Denver as a free agent. His first season in the league included more transactions than tackles, with the Broncos cutting, re-signing and adding him to the practice squad on multiple occasions. Word began to surface that he might be pushing for a starting spot in the summer, however, and he found himself starting the team’s final three preseason games. Highlighted by an impressive performance in Denver’s second preseason game in San Francisco, where he made three tackles resulting in a defensive stop, Ihenacho made the starting spot his own.
 
That leads us to Thursday night where, just a year after entering the league undrafted, he found himself starting for a team many have predicted to go all the way in 2013. The Ravens weren’t afraid to go after him in coverage in the game, targeting him no less than seven times. However, while he allowed four receptions, they went for a total of 26 yards. He would add two quarterback hurries from the seven times he went after Joe Flacco, but it was against the run where he really stood out. Playing 21 snaps in run defense, three of his five tackles resulted in a defensive stop, giving him a Run Stop Percentage of 14.3%, tied for the highest among all safeties.
