DWinzit Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Is there room on the roster for both DT's, Anthony Montgomery and Kedric Golston, drafted this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USDsk8ter123 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I think we have room, but if theres any problems Im sure we wont hesitate to make space if they are worthy of a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskns21 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 We do have the practice squad as another place to stash one or both of them for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxSpearheadxX Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 With the way Golston reportedly has been playing, and the fact that his "potential" is even greater than that of Montgomery I would say yes and goodbye Boschetti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny21 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I don't have an answer, but I was thinking about that the other day. I started going through an estimate of how many players we'll keep at each position(and who and why). Drum rolllllll... I know this is speculation and feel free to ignore me, but it's the damned offseason! I think we keep 3 pure DTs this year ... Griff and Joe obviously, and killings (am I right that they carried 4 last year (boschetti and killings as backups?). Evans, Wynn, and Daniels can all rotate in. Because we basically added a DE in Carter, I think we consider Evans and Wynn as "tweener" to save a roster spot. That said, I think Golston, Montgomery or both end up on the ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I think we keep 4 DT's. Corny, Big Joe, then two more spots for Killings, Montgomery, Golston. Boschetti seems to be on his way out, or we wouldn't have drafted two DT's. Wynn, Daniels, and Evans have experience at DT, but Evans is definitely not the DT type. Daniels will remain mostly at RE, Carter at LE. Evans and Wynn as backups. I think that gives pretty good versatility along the line. I would have automatically written off Killings, but then I realized that he has done well in two stints with NFL Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about the same... just trying to figure where we get the extra roster spot from, which is why I wrote of boschetti... do we go w/ one less LB, or WR, or CB? tough call... what a sweet problem to have!

CapitalDefense Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I think we will end up keeping 8 D-Lineman on the final roster.... Daniels, Wynn, Big Joe, Griffin, Carter and Evans are locks...I think they both have a shot at the final roster its really up to them and how they perform. Killings is 29 years old and I am sure we could get the same number of snaps from one of the youngsters with not much of a production dropoff. Bochetti and Clemons are history..... I could see GW keeping one of the UDFA DE's maybe Joe Sykes, who I heard is really athletic but needs alot of fundamental work/teaching and who better to do it then Mr. Blache? If I was betting on it....The 6 guys above with Sykes and Montgomery only because he was drafted higher, Golston could probably pass through waivers a little easier and get signed to the practice squad. Keep in mind that only 6 or 7 of these guys will be active on gameday so even though they might be on the roster doesn't mean they will play a whole lot.

DWinzit Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 I figured one would make the PS. The other will need to really impress. Tough decisons come final cut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaroopm Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I figured one would make the PS. The other will need to really impress. Tough decisons come final cut down. Yeah, in the end it seems like we're going to have to cut some DL guys who we would rather keep. I obviously like Griffin and Salave'a but I'm also hoping we hang on to Boschetti and Killings (due to experience) as well as Montgomery (due to his size). I can see the case for keeping the other guys though. Then again, you never know how things will play out with injuries or whatever (e.g. Brandon Noble), so at this point it's nice to have an excess of guys who we would like to keep.

Tastes Like Chicken Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 One can make it as a backup and one will probably end up on the practice squad. The key is versatility- obviously, Williams likes players who can be placed in various positions and situations. But last year, we had injuries all across the D-line, so we're gonna need some depth there just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Joe Hog Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 If Montgomery and Golston can both play in the NFL, it would be a big mistake to put one of them on the PS. DT's are at a premium and I believe that any decent DT on a practice squad will be claimed by another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would certainly be a tough call and we have a very experienced coaching staff that I trust will make the right choice at all the right places.

FootballGuy2677 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Montgomery Golston Simon Havner Should all end up on the practice squad. Simon and Montgomery have shots at making the squad if you asked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqq Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Greg Blache loves both Montgomery and Golston...that said i hope at least one of them makes the roster and contributes. what a waste of draft picks otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 There struggle is in the fact that GW likes to have 7 D-lineman active on Sundays. Right now I would say there are 6 that are more or less guaranteed to make the squad: Carter Daniels Griffen Salave'a Wynn Evans The final spot will be a battle between Killings, Boschetti and the two rookies. I think it is a given that one of these guys will at least make the PS, and there is always the chance one of the vet's gets injured, but for now, the #'s are not in their favor. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
