2012 53 man Roster predictions

they had a QB on the PS last year because they only kept 2 on the active roster. If they keep 3 (i cant imagine they won't) why waste the spot on the PS?

QB: Griffin, Rex, Cousins
RB: Royster, Helu, Morris (Hightower sucked last year and will suck this year)
FB: Young
TE: Davis, Paul, Cooley
WR: Garcon, Moss, Hankerson, Morgan, Briscoe, Robinson
OT: Williams, Brown, Polumbus, Compton
OG: Lichtensteiger, Chester, Gettis, Hurt
C: Montgomery, LeRibeus

DE: Carriker, Bowen, Jenkins, Gholston
OLB: Orakpo, Kerrigan, White, Jackson

They will keep Hightower because they think he is such an all around back. I don't always see it either except for third downs but he will make the roster.

So when's the first round of cuts?

Great prediction...however, I think they may make room for Paulsen and Banks...perhaps by cutting another LBs like Kehl and another Oline, like compton or brown

the problem with not keeping hightower is that royster is the only other RB they really trust to pass block right now, and if he gets hurt, well, that'd suck for girffin.

Down to 80 on the 28th, 53 on the 31st

Yeah but a runningback's first priority is to run. Hightower is by far the worst of the 4 runners we can go with this season.

I think this is pretty spot on.. I'd take Brown off for Willie Smith (Brown won't get healthy) and I doubt we keep 5 ILB (Hightower is making the team, locked) but otherwise it's tough to quibble with your 53. I wish Dougty and Barnes weren't on the roster but it is what it is.

I don't think we'll be keeping 10 OL. kehl also looked bad yesterday, but he's had a decent camp. I don't know. i believe i can get the top 46-48 with 99% certainty, it's just those last 5 spots.

robinson crawford and paulsen were the only guys that really helped themselves this game. everyone else already has a spot or didn't really impress.
