Exactly.

[QUOTE=CRedskinsRule;1288656]Rivera called him a luxury and one of the best ST players in the league.

As long as he never plays a snap on D thats fine. He better ball out on ST’s.

Re: Predicting the final 53
 

Apke was in on 42% of the defensive snaps last year. He's likely the 5th corner out of 6 on this depth chart. My guess is he'll see field less as a corner this year, than he did at safety last year...unless there are injuries of course.

It's odd to see a safety turned into a corner. I'm used to seeing it the other way around - usually later in a corner's career.

Ow my brain.

As for Apke I'm gonna take a stab and say he's one of those guys who works hard but isn't athletically gifted. So yeah his play might never be good but his work ethic keeps him around.

Re: Predicting the final 53
 

We need to think of Apke as a ST player in the same way we think of K P and LS. If he sees the field on defense then it is because four other guys are out injured.

Re: Predicting the final 53
 

You simply can not put Apke in at corner ever. That is the dumbest thing to do ever.

Re: Predicting the final 53
 

We do not have quality depth on this team. A couple injuries could be back breaking.

Re: Predicting the final 53
 

I disagree. Your "depth" players are just that. You can’t expect that your 5th/6th CB will come in and ball out. They are special teamers that can hopefully play the position in a pinch if there’s an injury or someone needs a blow. This is our "depth". LB is the obvious position of need. Other than that I would say we are sitting pretty damn good.

Yeah a part from LB (and we're obviously going to sign some very soon), I'd say we have very good depth.

I'm actually surprised to feel that good about our OL depth, the guys in at G in that 3rd game were just unwatchable, glad they're cut, but [I][U]Lucas[/U][/I] is a very high quality back up T, [I][U]Charles[/U][/I] has taken some nice strides and can play pretty much any where on the line, and [I][U]Schweitzer[/U][/I] showed he could start at both G positions.
Not sure what [I][U]Tyler Larsen[/U][/I] but he was our number 2 center all pre-season and I didn't see anything glaringly ridiculous (a part maybe a pretty shameful stumble in PS week 3).

I agree. He's a ST player only but a very good one. His roster spot was a gift to the ST coach.

[QUOTE=skinsfan69;1288684]We do not have quality depth on this team. A couple injuries could be back breaking.[/QUOTE]No team has super depth. I think we have good depth except for LB's. Our Dline is probably one of the deepest in the league. IF we have to use a backup QB, I think we will get consistent performance.

I actually think our depth overall, especially with the degree of versatility our roster has, could take a few injuries and still perform. In a 17 game season, that will be critical.

Every team is a couple key injuries away from being in trouble. Outside of lb and maybe TE I dont think depth is a real issue.

There was a poster a couple years ago that used to speak this language alot. Can’t remember his screen name?

Yep I agree with this
