Re: Vinny tips his hand on the final 53
I've posied that they might choose to replace Rock with a combination of players, but that seems almost silly.
I think Rock is pretty safe. As are Betts and Portis. This seems like a simple four man race for a roster spot. Mason/Alridge/Dorsey/E. Williams. And I think that it will be Mason, of the bunch. But he has no right to that spot, I just think he's the leader of the four.
And I think whoever gets it, becomes the 3rd RB, when they happen to be active. But Rock will have a stronger holding on his roster spot than Mason/Alridge/Dorsey.
Do not discount the possibility that the 3rd RB will come from another team's roster after cutdown day. It's probably 60-40% that Mason/Alridge/Dorsey make it to opening day.
