Predict the 2013 53 Man Opening Day Roster

[Green Monk Machine]

I probably have the same as everyone but...

QB- RG, KC
HB- ALf, Helu
FB- DY
WR- pg, jm, lh, sm
TE- fd, JR, NP
LT- TW, TC
LG- KL
C- WM
RG- CC
RT- Tyler, Pashos
De- SB, JJ, Baker, KG
DT- bf, Nield
OLB- Rak, ry, Jax, Jenkins
MLB- LF, PR, Barnett, kehl
CB- DH, JW, Bigg,Craw, Minn, Amer
FS- Rambo, Pugh
SS-bw, RD, gomes
Kai, sav, Sundberg

My questions remain:
Can Thompson or Jamison unseat Royster and what long term plans do we have for them??
5th WR between Henderson and Stallworth
Paulsen stays if...an OL can play 2 positions.
Has LeRibeus ate himself out of a job over Hurt or Gettis?
Is Gettis more valued over LeRib's G/C ability?
Is Matthews able to play G/C and bump one of them out?
Does the team value NT Brace over keeping OLB Tapp or does that last roster spot go to a RB, TE, IOL???

I like this roster but tough decisions.
PS- Lewis, Dawson, Briscoe?, Nixon, muckelroy.

My questions remain:

We'll see Thompson and Jamison in the second preseason game. Then we'll know a little bit more about them. I wouldn't be surprised to see Thompson get stashed on IR before the final cuts.

5th WR between Henderson and Stallworth

Aldrick Robinson should be the 5th WR. I doubt that either Henderson or Stallworth will make the team.

Paulsen stays if...an OL can play 2 positions.

Paulsen is a lock. He is our blocking TE. He is much bigger than the other TE's.

Has LeRibeus ate himself out of a job over Hurt or Gettis?

I wonder the same thing about LeRibeus. He had better find some motivation or he might not last in the NFL.

Is Gettis more valued over LeRib's G/C ability?

I doubt that because versatility is a prized commodity for a reserve OL.

Is Matthews able to play G/C and bump one of them out?

So far he's only played C. I guess we'll both be watching to see if he plays any at G in the preseason. If he does, that could be bad news for some other player.

Does the team value NT Brace over keeping OLB Tapp or does that last roster spot go to a RB, TE, IOL???

In the first preseason game, Tapp was used inside on passing downs. He played inside next to Kerrigan with Orakpo and Brandon Jenkins on the outside. That looked formidable to me. I think they like Tapp.

Brace is behind Cofield, Baker, and Neild. I doubt that he makes the team.

I like this roster but tough decisions.

PS- Lewis, Dawson, Briscoe?, Nixon, muckelroy.

Long shot; Needs to get a chance and show special ability as a PR/KR; Gone; Keeper but may end up on Practice Squad; Maybe.

I don't mean to seem like a know-it-all. The above are just my opinions expressed in shorthand.

I also like the way the roster is shaping up. The tough decisions just mean that the Skins are adding more good players to compete with the incumbents. That's the way to build a winner. Hail!
