Tank,Griffin and Aldon Smith are locks to make the team.I feel we will only keep 2-3 more from the following DEs

1)Rondell Carter
2)Dorance Armstrong
3)Randy Gregory
4)Bradlee Anae
5)Joe jackson
6)Jalen jelks

wild Card is Tyrone crawford,they should definitely cut him but they have unnatural affinity for him.

Gregory wont count until he is reinstated.

I think Griffin pushes Jackson, Jelks, and Carter off the roster and makes it probable that Armstrong gets cut as well. I dont see Anae being in any jeopardy

Right now only locks are Lawrence and Griffen

Most likely to make the roster in order(this is assuming Randy is reinstated). They'll likely keep 4 of these since MM said they will keep six rush men, and four tackles
1. Crawford
2. Gregory
3. Smith
4. Anae
5. Armstrong
6. Jackson
7. Jenks
8. Carter

Crawford had the loyalty of the previous regime-- not the current one. Now he simply is a respected vet with a high cap number coming off two hip surgeries. If he does not have the ability to play at a high level-- I have the confidence in this coaching staff that they would cut him.

Why? Because they let the beloved Jason Witten walk when he still wanted to wear the star, and he is a future HOFer-- Crawford is most certainly not.

Why do You think Aldon is a lock?
We're not committed financially, He just looks like a low downside flyer to Me.
If He wins a spot fine and dandy, if not We can move on without a problem.

Crowded with nobody, the overpaid, and the unreliable.

None of the guys on that list can do anything in the nfl. You would keep someone in that group over crawford? I will never understand that. Armstrong is Jerry's pet cat and He looked like a stiff all year last year. As soon as his group in the rotation got on the field they got torched on the ground.

i don't count gregory as anything because he is not even eligible to play and missed a year. Also i do not think smith is a lock to be on the roster all year.

Unless Crawford is asked to take a cut reduction, he'll actually be making more than starter, pro bowler Griffen this year.
Ridiculous.
Just leaving him off the roster in anticipating an eventual cur ?

DE's
1 Dlaw
2 Griffen
3 A. Smith
4 Gregory ?
5 Anae
6 Armstrong ? Jackson? Jelks ?

DTs:
7 McCoy
8 Poe
9 Gallimore
10 Woods

i believe McCarthy was quoted as saying he wants 6 edge rushers and 4 interiors....
A final fight for the sixth and last DE spot.

I agree with you on this. I would like to think Smith can be something close to what he was when he last played, and I'm damn sure excirted to see him on the field, but that was a long time ago, and we are still a long way from knowing what, if anything, he can contribute now.
