On Aug. 30, the Ravens must trim their roster from 80 to 53. Daniel Wilcox offers a fascinating look at the human side of the cutdown process from both sides: As an undrafted rookie, he was cut, and he drove home to Georgia bawling so hard he could barely drive, thinking his NFL dream was already over. Years later, as a player personnel assistant, he was the dreaded "Turk," tasked with telling a player on cutdown day that Coach wants to see him, and bring your playbook. That only ever means one thing. What message does he have for those players who, like him, are told they just aren't good enough?
