Predict the 53 Man Roster!(Merged)

[HighOnHendrix]

This is what I want, not how it will be:

QB - Campbell/Brennan/Daniels

HB - Portis/Betts/Mason

WR - Moss/Thomas/Randle El/Kelly/Mitchell/Eloi

TE - Cooley/Davis/Yoder

FB - Sellers

OT - Samuels/Heyer/M. Williams/Jansen/Bridges

OG - Dockery/Thomas/Rhinehart/Clark

C - Rabach/E. Williams

DT - Haynesworth/Griffin/Golston/Montgomery

DE - Carter/Orakpo/Daniels/Alexander/Wynn

LB - Fletcher/McIntosh/Wilson/Blades/Henson/Glenn

CB - Rogers/Hall/Smoot/Barnes/Westbrook

S - Landry/Horton/Moore/Doughty

PR - Eloi/Moss

KR - Mason/Eloi

P - Smith

K - Suisham

[theboomking]

The Jarmon pick seems to have cleared up the DE situation a bit, and per Vinnie's comments, we seem set on keeping Wynn and Daniels to mentor Orakpo and Jarmon. Jackson gets bumped to the practice squad so we can keep him around for 2010.

LB seems like a total crap shoot this year. It seems like we need Wilson to back up Orakpo in his new hybrid position. Fletcher, McIntosh, and Blades are obviously safe. The other roster spots are wide open.

At WR, it seems like Roydell Williams has the inside track on the 5th WR spot. I'm thinking we keep 5 on the 53 man roster and stash 2 on the PS for when Moss and Kelly are inevitably injured. That looks like a 3 man competition between Jaison Williams, Keith Eloi and Marko Mitchell for two PS spots.

Offense 24

QB : Campbell, Brennan, Collins

RB:Portis, Betts, Alridge(or Dorsey)

TE:Cooley, Davis, Yoder

FB: Sellers

C: Rabach, Williams

G: Thomas, Dockery, Rhinehart

T: Heyer, Samuels, Bridges, Williams

WR:Moss, Thomas, Randel El, Kelly, Roydell Williams

Defense:25

DT:Haynesworth, Griffin, Montgomery, Golston, Alexander

DE:Daniels, Carter, Jarmon, Wynn

LB:Orakpo, Fletcher, McIntosh, Blades, Fincher, Wilson, Thomas

CB:Hall, Rogers, Smoot, Tryon, Barnes

S: Landry, Horton, Moore, Doughty

Teams: 4

Suisham, Cartwright, Rayner, Albright

PS:8

Clark(G), Marko Mitchell(WR), Jaison Williams(WR),Eddie Williams(TE), Antonio Dixon(DT), Robert Henson(LB), Cody Glenn(LB), Rob Jackson (DE)

[Sndman8369]

Here's what i think, hope it works out this way:

Offense 25

QB-3: Campbell, Collins, Brennan

HB-3: Portis, Betts, (Dorsey, Aldridge, or Cartwright)-depending on who does better in preseason

FB-1: Sellers

WR-6: Moss, Thomas, Kelly, Randle El, Mitchell, J.Williams

TE-3: Cooley, Davis, Yoder

LT-2: Samuels, Heyer

LG-2: Dockery, Reinhart

C-1: Rabach

RG-2:Thomas, Clark

RT-2:Bridges, Williams

Defense 25

LDE-2: Daniels, Jarmon

DT-3: Griffin, Montgomery, Alexander

DT-2: Haynesworth, Golston

RDE-2: Carter, (Wynn or Jackson)- if Jackson shows he is better than he stays, no need to have 2 super aging vets if a young kid can play

LB-2: McIntosh, Blades

MLB-2: Fletcher, Henson

LB-3: Orakpo, Wilson, Thomas

CB-3: Rogers, Smoot, Tryon

FS-2: Landry, Moore

SS-2: Horton, Doughty

CB-2: Hall, Barnes

Special Teams 3

K-1: Shuisam-uggh

P-1: Smith

LS-1: Albright

Sndman, I don't know how I didn't put Smith as our punter. Thanks for that correction.

I would love it if Jackson beat out Wynn for the spot, but I have a feeling we are intent on keeping Wynn, just as much for his experience as his performance. We have two rookie DE's we are hoping will be our future starters/stars. Daniels, Wynn and Palermo make the equivalent of three position coaches for the young guys. That might not be so bad as long as noone snatches Jackson off the PS

Do you think we're going to carry 6 receivers? There won't be six active for the game, so I think you could stash a couple on the PS.

I think Cartwright is a lock given his consistently solid play, not just as a returner, but just as importantly on coverage teams. If Dorsey or Alrige stay, I think they will be in addition too, rather than instead of, Cartwright.

I also think we need 2 centers on the active roster making Williams a likely bet to make the team. If Rabach goes down, you have to be able to snap the ball. I'm guessing we only keep two pure guards, Thomas and Dockery. Rhinehart ande Bridges can both play guard, giving us 4 options. We can stash Clark on the PS in case we need a body. The only way he makes the roster I think, is if Bridges is starting at tackle.

[TGI Jef]

just was writing this up at work based on word out of training camp (whatever that is worth), and came up with the following. if i added correctly, this is only 44 guys who i assume will def make the squad at this point, or at least seem very likely to. where do the final 9 come from? obviously one of them will be whoever wins punting job. leaves 8. any thoughts?

QB: Campbell / Collins / Colt

RB: Portis / Betts / Rock / Sellers

TE: Cooley / Davis

OL: Samuels / Dockery / Rabach / Thomas / Heyer / Williams / Rhinehart

WR: Moss / Thomas / ARE / Kelly

DL: Carter / Griffin / Haynesworth / Daniels / Montgomery / Golston / Jarmon

LB: Rocky / Fletcher / Orakpo / Wilson / Blades / Fincher

S: Landry / Horton / Doughty / Moore

CB: Rogers / Hall / Tryon / Smoot / Barnes

ST: Albright / Suisham / (punter)

so, again that is 45 when you include whoever wins the punting job.

leaves 8 (obviously), and my guess would be that these guys have the best chance to be included in those 8:

Keith Eloi

Yoder

Rob Jackson

speed back (Aldridge?)

Wynn

any thoughts? oibviously, more OL will be brought into the mix. i dont know a lot about some of the other prospects in camp at those positinos.

looks like the Defense is very nearly set in my opinion, so a lot of chances for unknown guys on offense to step up. cant wait for preseason games to start.

[elkabong82]

QB: JC, TC, Colt

HB: CP, Betts, Aldridge, Rock

FB: Sellers

TE: Cooley, Davis, Yoder

WR: Moss, D. Thomas, ARE, Kelly, Mitchell

OG: R. Thomas, Dockery, Rinehart, Clark

C: Rabach

DE: Orakpo, Carter, Jarmon, Daniels, Jackson

DT: Big Al, Griffin, Golston, Montgomery, Alexander

OLB: Rocky, Wilson, Fincher, Henson

MLB: Fletcher, Blades

CB: Hall, Rogers, Barnes, Smoot, Tryon

FS: Landry, Moore

SS: Horton, Doughty

K: Rayner

P: Smith

LS: Albright

[theboomking]

Nobody is going to put Kendall or Runyan on the roster huh? I'd like to put in a vote for Kendall. Devin Clark has the look of a permanent PS player. If the O-line doesn't gel during training camp and the preseason, we may make a move to fortify.

[Going Commando]

Well the preseason is almost over, looking back my predictions were pretty good even though they were super-early. I anticipated Thrash getting cut which was a nice call. Definitely didn't see Jansen getting cut or Jeremy Bridges getting signed, but I'm glad it happened. Also the Jarmon pick was totally surprising and awesome. I'll try predicting the roster once again with about a week to go:

LS: Albright

PK: Shaun Suisham

P: Hunter Smith

QB: Campbell, Collins, Brennan

HB: Portis, Betts, Cartwright, Mason

FB: Sellers

X: Kelly, Thomas

Y: Randle El

Z: Moss, Mitchell

TE: Cooley, Davis, Yoder

LT: Samuels, Bridges

LG: Dockery

C: Rabach, Montgomery

RG: Thomas, Rinehart

RT: Heyer, M. Williams

RE: Carter, Jackson

LE: Daniels, Jarmon

RDT: Haynesworth, Montgomery

LDT: Griffin, Golston, Alexander

SLB: Orakpo, Wilson

MLB: Fletcher, Blades, Henson

WLB: McIntosh, Fincher

CB: Hall, Rogers, Smoot, Barnes, Tryon

FS: Landry, Moore

SS: Horton, Doughty

We have to go 9 OL in order to keep Mason, and I think it's going to be hard to find spots for Aldridge or Dorsey. I want to have Dixon making it over Alexander but I don't feel too confident about that. Alexander can play some DE if things get hairy and also serve as an emergency 10th OL. I think we could go with 7 linebackers because Orakpo should be moving around so much. It makes sense to carry either an extra end or an extra LB because of that, so I have Henson making the cut even though he could very well end up on the PS. I think Brennan gets the #3 by a hair because Daniel can go on the PS. Other than that, everything looks pretty uncontroversial.

EDIT: Well I just read that Fincher got cut which surprises me since I haven't heard much about Robert Thomas and Cody Glenn. I figured they would be the first two cut. That leaves one more roster spot open for my team which I guess goes to Glenn now. There isn't really any other good fit for a WILL in the linebacker corps except him and maybe Henson if (lord help us) McIntosh goes down.

SLB: Orakpo, Wilson

MLB: Fletcher, Blades, Henson

WLB: McIntosh

CB: Hall, Rogers, Smoot, Barnes, Tryon

I really wanted to find a way to cut Rob Jackson, but I'm not sure we have a guy that can replace him other than Wynn :/

I'm sacraficing veteran linebacker depth for veteran running back back depth (R. Thomas for R. Cartwright). Both would see the bulk of their time on special teams. Cartwright is the better special teams player. I want Mason in case Portis goes down. I want Dorsey to run back punts. Wilson can be the other back up linebacker. Blades can play all three positions. Henson and Glenn for spot duty. If there's a serious injury to a starting linebacker, there are a number of good linebackers we could pick up easily. I am worried about o-line depth. We might need to pick up someone there.

I listed Orakpo as the starting SLB, but I think it will only be a few games before Chris Wilson is the primary SLB and Orakpo is lining up at DE more.

I have 4 RBs on my roster because of the talent at that possision. I'm a big Alridge fan, but I can't justify not putting mason on the roster; Portis and Betts are no brainers.

I put Dixon on the roster instead of Montgomery because I think Montgomery has realized his ceiling and Dixon has shows promise.

Westbrook makes the roster over Tryon because Tryon is down right awful and Westbrook is a sure tackler.

Suisham makes the roster over Rayner by default. It was his job to lose, and I don't think Rayner got enough opportunity in game time situations.

Although i love Rock, he is very expendable. He isn't a good enough KR to warrant a roster spot; he poses no threat to take one to the house. Although he is a sure tackler, one of the back up LBs can take his spot on special teams.
