The one on Fogg said Liberty College twice, how are people still making this mistake 31 years later? Other than that crap research two great articles.

No. It was founded as Lynchburg Baptist College, briefly (I think maybe 2 years) changed to Liberty Baptist College and then to Liberty University.

But there was a West Liberty College in WV that is now West Liberty University.

One of the articles said that Kevin was 1st team all Sunbelt conference.

Another article regarding Niko and the Steelers...

Fogg playing well for Steelers. Has recorded the only INT so far this preseason for Steelers. Niko Davis still on roster.

http://sportsblogs.post-gazette.com/spo ... -Camp.html Fogg continues to impress! Excited for Kevin.

Kevin Fogg...gettin' some love in the press. Nice.

Niko Davis waived (injured) by Steelers. Fogg may still make the 53 man squad.

If Niko is healthy, he could make the Practice Squad.

Multiple twitter reports say Kevin has been released.

That's a bummer. He's a first-class young man. Nearly had another interception last night, would have been a nice one on a fine diving effort.

The NFL is a numbers game in the preseason. You have to split up 53 main roster spots among essentially 10 positions, so sometimes, when it comes down to an established veteran or a player that isn't as established at a position, often times they take the veteran. Add to that the salary cap as well. Here's hoping he gets a shot on the practice squad or gets a chance with another team before the season is out.

What is the relevance of salary cap regarding Fogg?

My guess is that, while its usually talked about with the big contracts with a lot of guaranteed money and cap numbers, when you are finalizing spots 50-53 on your roster, you have to think about which guy at which position you can afford to keep. If it came down to KF and another player at another position, the GM would probably have to look at the numbers and if it would be more cost effective to keep the other guy, as far as the cap is concerned, then they keep that guy and KF goes. That's just my thinking on the potential relevance though.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense jmmiii. Basically, they ask "who can we afford to keep?"

BJ your understanding of the salary cap is underwhelming to say the least

I don't doubt that PH. the numbers thing probably played more of a role Im guessing

If no one picks him up then I suspect he'll be on the practice squad. But makingf some plays in preseason may have caught the ey of a Pro Player Personnel Director somewhere around the league.
