2011/2012 Roster Comparison - Training Camp

:eek: We made a switch at starting QB - from Tony Romo in 2011 to Romo, Tony in 2012. :p:

I still lthink Matt McBriar ends up being our punter. At least I hope. :pray:

And I DO like this chart. great work! Goes to show the front office is serious about following Garret's lead and overhauling this team into his image with hte right kkind of guys. :cool:
 
Interesting to see the rosters together like this. You can tell where the team's unsure about talent, judging by where they go long at a position. Looking at this, I'd say they've got more faith in the young WR corps than they had last year. And they're devoting several extra spots at OT (and OG, though you've got some of those guys stashed as centers). They brought in a couple extra safeties, too. We're longer at TE, too.

Of course, we get some extra roster spots this season, too. What's interesting, is that by bringing in these extra players, we're increasing the odds of finding a quality player to develop at our current positions of need. Many are unhappy with the two OG FA signings, but it's also true that we're slating an extra 5 spots (12 last year v. 17 this year) to the OL at this point in the off season. Those new players on the bottoms of those position groups aren't going to challenge immediately, but the 3-4 of them (depending how you rate Parnell) who were added last year should be in position to push for playing time. That's not the same thing as signing the top FA OG in this year's class by any stretch, but it's not insignificant.

I'm more impressed by this years.

Just looking at the CB's, it's easy to see what a huge upgrade the team has made.

Last year the best corner there was Jenkins and this season he is the third best corner. Adding two blue-chip players in Carr and Claiborne should not only change the productivity of the secondary, but the entire defense as a whole. The defense would be better if there were no other changes besides cutting Newman and Ball, while adding Carr and Claiborne.

Add in that the team also replaced Brooking and James with Connor and Carter, added Ty Crawford at DE, Matt Johnson at S, and Kyle Wilbur at OLB, and it isn't difficult to see a huge improvement on that side of the ball.

I know it's early, but simply based on personnel moves, I'm expecting the defense to jump way up in the rankings this season.

Me too.

Unless injuries take hold, I'm thinking a top-10 defense easily... And top-5 possibly.
 
I don't know why people seem to think Jenkins is the 3rd best CB on the club. Claiborne is a rookie. The only reason I believe he starts is because Jenkins will not participate in camp (which IMO is not a bad thing at all). He's a rookie. Despite Jenkins being the new scapegoat, he's not a bad CB at all. Now is you ask me do I hope Jenkins is the 3rd best CB on the team then hell yeah. Right now I'm not so sure.

I'm curious to see if Carr's actually better than Jenkins. I'm also very interested to see Claiborne play in the slot.

All three of those guys are going to see significant snaps. Four, if you count Scandrick.

The biggest issue with Jenkins is the injury. It's possible that he could be on the PUP to begin the season.
 
Only thing I would add would be Andre Gurode to the 2011 Roster. He wasn't cut until after the 3rd preseason game.
