Re: Mason v. Rock
 

If Mason does well the rest of the preseason, he could unseed Rock. He's really gonna have to show and prove. Also, I think there will be 6 receivers. There's no need for a situational rusher with Jason Taylor on the team. If possible, Wilson goes to the PS.

[QUOTE=freddyg12;461712]Sure about that? I haven't looked at all the position scenarios, but I've thought all along that they might make it work to keep 6 wr's for 3 reasons:
1) injuries; we're already seeing the hamstring problems & it's a position that has frequent injury problems & has been in the past (Moss)
2) Both Mix & Thrash play spec teams & play it well. Don't know if they'd have the #4 wr play teams, but that would make it even more feasible to keep 6.
3) Solid Depth; the potential of all these wideouts combined w/Thrash's value to the team might allow them to keep 6. Zorn is an offensive guy too.[/QUOTE]

Keeping six wideouts means there would only be room for one fullback, and that's not going to happen for a West Coast offense.

Re: Mason v. Rock
 

No way could we trade betts for a 2nd rounder.. thats retarded. I would say 3rd or 4th as the highest pick we could get for him

Re: Mason v. Rock
 

Betts aint even worth a 3rd rounder...If we can get a 3rd for him, I'd do it.
And regarding not needing a situational passer, you are crazy....we probably keep 2 of em.
The skins should find a way to keep both Chris Wilson AND Erasumus James.

Mix will not make the team...its a numbers game...we will keep 5 and 3 RB and somehow need to keep both situational pass rushers...as you can tell, we need Dline pressure.

We may need to pick up a solid LB and DT as a late vet pickup. CB is fine, Safety is still unknown but firming up.

Regarding Mason....unless there is a RB trade (doubtful) he wont make the team unless EJames or CWilson gets cut

Re: Mason v. Rock
 

Rock is a solid but very much unspectacular kick returner. He's dependable but I don't think he "scares" anyone. I wouldn't lose any sleep if he's gone.

and if we get an offered 3rd for Betts we'd be insane not to take it. Favre was just traded for a conditional 4th, there's no way in hell anyone offers anything higher than that for LB.

Skinsnut - I have a feeling that we won't keep both of them. If Erasumus is near healthy, they'll let Chris Wilson go or sign him to the PS. That's just a gut feeling. We can wait until the start of the season to find out.
