Where's Omar?

[Beemnseven]

I seem to remember a couple of stand out plays towards the end of the 2005 season from Stoutmire, then he was off to New Orleans. That was a year when relative nobodys stood up and made plays when they absolutely needed to.

That's what this team needs to get back into it.

To me, the secondary seems awash with corners and safeties -- much more than we could possibly need. I haven't heard much from Stoutmire through exhibition play, but if his name wasn't on the list today, I'd say he's safe.

Wouldn't Prioleau and Stoutmire be the obvious #3 and #4 in the safety spots behind Taylor and Landry?

Would Stoutmire be far ahead of Fox? I don't know. I haven't heard much from either in the preseason. They each have 2 total tackles. Stoutmire is 33 years old and Fox is 28.

Yeah, maybe not. I guess you have to consider the coaches' tendency towards veterans, but then there's this "youth movement" I keep hearing of.

Also, who's been standing out more on special teams?

Couldn't they keep all three (Stoutmire, Prioleau, and Fox)? And where does Reed Doughty fit in?

So many questions...

Reed Doughty is a special teamer and a young backup to fill that youth movement that you spoke of. As far as Stoutmire and Fox are concerned, both can play special teams, but Stoutmire is a better Safety. Fox is gone younger or not.

I dunno... It's gonna be interesting. If I had to guess on the DB's who make the 53 man, I'd go with:

Rogers
Springs
Taylor
Landry
Smoot
Preilou
Stoutmire
Macklin...

After that toss it up to Doughty, Jimoh, Butler, and Fox to take the last spot or two, depending on if we go with 9 or 10.

Butler is already gone. And you forgot about Westbrook.

I didn't forget Westbrook. He is from a DIII school and is an extreme longshot. Otherwise I would have mentioned him.

I'm willing to bet that Reed Doughty makes the team over Stoutmire. He's been seeing action this preseason, especially on teams. Oh and on that note, the Ade will make the team this year.

If he can't beat out Fox he should retire.
