Vinny tips his hand on the final 53

A couple things of note from the article:
[B][I]* He said "there's a good chance" of the team keeping a fifth running back. His radio voice made it seem like a very good chance.

"I would say that's probably, there's a good chance of that," he said. "Because what you want to do Kevin, it'll probably be 25 on offense, 25 on defense and three specialists. So it's just how you want to divide your numbers. [/I][/B]

I think that indicates that Mason and/or Aldridge will make the team. Lots of buzz out of Redskins Park that he's very high on Aldridge.

[B][I]* He was fairly definitive when asked if he thought the team would add an offensive lineman after other teams make cuts.

"No, no," was his exact response. "And I think this, I think with the Montgomerys and Rineharts and Mike Williams and Bridges and stuff, I think you've got experienced guys there that'll, I think, be productive."

Congratulations, Mike Williams. Welcome back to the NFL.[/I][/B]

Pretty clear he was making the team anyways but this basically makes it official.

[B][I] Actually this was the best quote, from Cerrato, when asked what Denver is asking for Brandon Marshall.

"I don't have the faintest idea," Cerrato said. "We like our locker room." [/I][/B]

Maybe he's not a freaking idiot after all!

If there is a 5th back I'm betting it's Aldridge

Really, you guys don't think Mason will make it. Or are you including Mason?

"I don't have the faintest idea,"

Good...I think we've all seen enough potential out of our WR corps this off-season to give it a season to see how good it can become. It isn't the wasteland we thought it might be.

Who else would it be?

Dorsey, but very unlikely. My assumption is you are looking at Portis, Betts, Cartwright, Mason, and Aldridge. 5 running backs seem alot to me, especially if Mason does not play special teams.

Do the fullbacks count? I'm not sure about the math here? If he says we're keeping 5 backs, I'm thinking CP, LB, Rock, Sellers, and then Mason or Aldridge?

I liked what i say from Aldridge. He's fast and we need fast.

Yeah FB's count. You can't keep five tailbacks.

I think you are right here on your assumption. 5 back including the fullBACK. The rookie full back will be on our ps, unless he is picked up. My thought, although i really like mason, is aldrige will be the fifth.

Re: Vinny tips his hand on the final 53
 
Weird. 5 backs is a lot...almost like Vinny expects injuries among that group. It also says Rock is likely a sure thing, which should help out special teams but doesn't do much of anything on offense.

Re: Vinny tips his hand on the final 53
 
For one of the few times I agree with Vinny. I want Alridge on this team badly. He is the type of change of pace back they need. Betts is just a less talented version of Portis in my mind. Alridge can really bring something we don't have I think.

Let's not get crazy now...

I'd personally would like Zorn having final say over cuts but from the sound of it Cerrato seems to be involved more than I thought he'd be.

Cerrato may make it sound like he wouldn't want Marshall but the Skins can't make a play for him based on their salary cap and not their desires for a big time wideout. I highly doubt this front office would shrug off the big name talent like that on the basis of their discipline.

Brandon Marshall is a Time Bomb. Tick tock. Tick tock.

His issue isn't even a matter of discipline. He is a very hard worker.

The issue is that he is an extreme mental case.
