*Tryon/Richadson TBD by final 2 games. Evans makes it because of his experience value over either of the Tryon/Richadson loser. Also, I could see Jackson making the team and James going on IR depending on his performance.

nah, we gotta keep tryon, he's still young and we need to at least give him 2-3 years.. QB and CB are the hardest positions to play and it takes time and it takes getting burnt to learn. He will learn

Didnt we only have 5 cornors last year also?

Re: Your final 53
 

Lets start with the guys we know are making the team:

Campbell, Collins, Brennan
Portis, Betts, Cartwright
Sellers
Moss, Randle El, Thrash, Kelly, D. Thomas
Cooley, Yoder, Davis
Samuels, Jansen, Kendall, R. Thomas, Rabach, Heyer, Fabini, Rinehart

23 on offense

Suisham, Brooks or Frost, Albright

J. Taylor, Carter, Griffin, Golston, Montgomery, Evans
McIntosh, Fletcher, Washington, Blades
Springs, Smoot, Rogers, Torrence
Landry, Doughty

16 on defense

Okay, so the offense should be a lot easier to figure out than the defense. They don't need anything more at any specific position, so I'm guessing they keep [B]Mason[/B] and [B]Geisinger[/B] to make 25 players on offense. If they keep another WR, I think Mix gets the nod, but if he's not healthy enough to play in the last preseason game, they will open with 5 WRs.

Defense is much more wide open, obviously. I'm starting to think that they are only going to keep 5 linebackers...they just haven't made much of an effort to improve the position. [B]Alfred Fincher[/B] stays, the rest go. On the DL, I could see them keeping up to ten, with [B]Alexander[/B] and [B]Boschetti[/B] reinforcing the tackles, and [B]Erasmus James[/B] and [B]Rob Jackson[/B] adding some additional situational pass rushers to the mix.

This opens the door for ten members of the secondary to be on the 53 man roster. The team will be able to give [B]Justin Tryon[/B] more time to develop without forcing him to be active, and they will be able to keep [B]Richardson[/B] at the beginning of the season, along with the other 5 corners. Richardson may not finish the year with the team, but I think he'll be on it Week One. The rookies [B]Kareem Moore[/B] and [B]Chris Horton[/B] will fill out the roster at safety, with Vernon Fox on the wrong side of the bubble.

Re: Your final 53
 

Rob Jackson on the Practice Squad scares me. He can be picked up to any team's roster from there, right? I'm sure he'll be gone. I say we keep him on the roster and take a chance.

Or trade him to the Patriots for THE ADE!

Wonderful. What do we have of value that we can offer if the Patriots offer THE ADE? We're screwed if we put him on the PS.

(Then again, we'd solidify the secondary with a Shut-Down corner and Special Teams Deamon). Practice squad it is!

Re: Your final 53
 

So, nobody thinks that Wade makes the cut? Even with Geisinger and Crummey being able to be put on the practice squad and Zorn's comments about needing veteran depth on the o-line?

Just wondering?

GTRIPP, I agree about Fincher. The guy is always around the ball. Now that Alexanders back is hurting it makes it even more likely.

Excellent!!

I totally agree with you on this. Except. Tryon has to truly step his game up!!! I like Justin Hamilton so far..But the number dictate he is likely going to be on the PS.

Re: Your final 53
 

I want one more game before I make my cuts. I'm leaning toward 6 WRs but I'm not sure who the last one is. Of course, I'm not married to keeping the two draftees. 2nd round picks have gotten cut before. I'd also be more comfotable with 10 OL than 9. It's a shame we can't stash a few guys on IR.

Evans is a lock. He is firmly entrenched as a 3rd down DT over Golston and Monty. I suspect Wilson is in bubble trouble.

Re: Your final 53
 

I would rather have rob jackson if he shows he;s better in camp and in preseason.. Yes he got us 4 sacks last season but Rob Jackson is younger and was a draft pick.. there is going to be alot of good players cut from teams so it's not like a bunch of teams in the NFL will be waiting for other teams to cut players, because they will have to be cutting players too!

He's not stalking you. He's correcting your inconsistencies, reading your pm's to be sure that they are not inflammatory, checking your ip to ensure you're not a previously banned individual, tracking down your home address so that he can notify the authorities in case you become violent, following your every move as a purely preventive measure ... oh wait.

Re: Your final 53
 

I'm surprised so many of you are keeping McMullen.

I believe that spot is better used as O-Line depth. We have so many quality backups and after last year, it's smart to keep as many as possible on the roster.

With Moss, El, Thrash and the 2 rookies, that's plenty of hands to catch the ball...plus Portis is supposed to catch 50+ (would be career high), then we have 2 or 3 TEs to receive with Cooley being a huge part of the offense...then Betts and maybe even Sellars occasionally.

Campbell has plenty of quality targets.

I'd add in Wade and leave off McMullen.

5 WRs of which two are rookies who have been hurt most of camp? I seriously doubt it. We're keeping 6 and right now it looks like McMullen has the inside shot since no one else has distinguished themselves and Mix is banged up. I'd be shocked if a WC offense HC went into his first season with only 3 serviceable WRs.

My thoughts exactly.

We have enough flexibility on the OL with guys like Heyer, Fabini, and Rinehart who are all capable of playing multiple positions.

Right now WR seems like a bigger need area.

I agree with everything except the omission of Jackson. Some how they need to keep him, and I doubt he will make the practice squad. I heard Vinny say that they may only keep five linebackers. That was probably before camp started, not sure if that is feasable.

If the team feels that Heyer can contniue to improve, I wouldn't mind keeping him around longer. He's the only atheletic OT we have other than Samuels. However, I am impressed with with Crummey, Rinehart, and Geisinger. Alexander looked good playing on the DL. Many believe that you don't put a rookie fourth round pick on the PS. This is were Tryon belongs. He shouldn't garner much interest because he is no where being ready to play this game. I also believe Mason will edge Cartwright on the depth chart but Cartwright will be the team's kickoff return specialist. I'll say this too. Thrash is taking up a valuable roster spot. We need to make him a position coach next off season.

I forgot who the interview was with, but I remember them really singing his praises last week. I think with Heyer backing up you really do not need that 9th OL. Plus if it gets dire you can put Alexander back there at tackle. I would say take off Geisinger for Nehemiah.
