My Latest 53:

ST (3): Forbath, Sundberg, Rocca

Offense (26):
QB (3): RGIII, Cousins, Grossman
RB (4): Morris, Helu, K. Williams, Thompson
FB (1): Young
WR (5): Garcon, Morgan, Moss, Hankerson, Robinson
TE (4): Davis, Paulson, Paul, Reed
OL (9): T. Williams (T), Polumbus (T), Compton (T), Pashos (T), Montgomery (C/G), Liechtenstieger (G/C), Chester (G), LeRib (G/C), Gettis (G)

Defense (24):DL (6): Cofield, Baker, Golston, Mehrling, Bowen, Nield
ILB (4): Fletcher, Riley, Kehl, Barnett
OLB (4): Rak, Kerrigan, Tapp, Jenkins
CB (5): Hall, Wilson, Amerson, Minnifield, Biggers
S (5): Merriweather, Doughty, Rambo, Pugh, Gomes

PS - Lewis, Williams, Nixon, Jamison, Compton, Gumbs (is he eligible?). Two other OL or S from other team cuts.

Jarvis Jenkins (DE), R. Jackson (OLB): Suspended
Hurt (G/T), Carriker (DE): PUP

When Jenkins and Jackson come back, Gomes gone along Nield or Mehrling (likely Mehrling) gone.

IF Carriker comes off PUP (I doubt it, bet he goes to IR), whoever didn't get cut between Nield or Mehrling gone.

IF Tanard cleared to play, when he returns, Pugh gone.
IF Hurt comes off PUP, Pashos gone.

Tough calls all around. With 4 TE's, I think the 6th WR spot a casualty. Davis, Reed and Paul all essentially buffed WR's if needed.

OLine: With Compton, I think we almost have to carry 4 tackles which makes the interior tough. Do we keep Mathews (a center only) over LeRib or Gettis? If cut, I see them being snagged by someone with line issues (Oakland, Buffalo, Dallas, Arizona). I have always liked Hurt and think if he were healthy, Pashos wouldn't make the team and one of last year's rookies would be out given Hurt's versitility.

When Jackson and J. Jenkins come back from suspension, it will be interesting to see if Kehl stays - I think he does and they go with 9 LB's and 6 DL which is why I have Mehrling or Nield cut. Baker doubles as a NT and DE so he provides depth at both positions. Mehrling and Nield are one position players. Nield especially so since he really doesn't have a place in a 4-3 defense. [At the same time, I think Nield is a big-time NT in the making like P.Williams was for the Ravens. In a year or two, Nield is a guy who absolutely plugs the center and is impassable in the run game. - He will be on someone's roster at the end of this year].

Safety and OLine seem to me to be our weakest spots. I am really missing the loss of P. Thomas for long term depth.
