After one week of camp, here's my 53

[VACowboy]

The tough spot is DE and LB. I think almost any one or two from Glymph, K. Coleman, Shanle and/or Fowler makes the team (I'm rooting for Junior). I also think Proctor takes Peterman's spot and Hurd and Rector really push Terrance Copper. McQuistan may not last long on the PS, but Bill won't cut Fabini. And maybe he shouldn't. Anyway...

wow.. that's actually very very close to mine.. even your practice squad..

my only differences:

1. I think that Hurd or Rector make it in place of Copper.. I ended up going with Hurd..

2. I think that we will keep another TE.. Polite will be grouped in with the RBs in Bill's mind and he will need another TE.. so I will say that Sean Ryan or Tony Curtis makes it over another LB.. so I would take off Scott Shanle or Junior Glymph and replace him Curtis or Ryan.. Hmm.. I'll say take off Shanle and replace him with Ryan..

I almost posted this exact thing.

I think we keep Ryan instead of a 5th WR.

I think we keep Peterman and McQuistan and that we cut Fabini prior to week 1-- with a spot taken away from the LB crew. Fabini gets re-signed if someone is hurt or if McQ sucks in the practices when Fabini is gone.

I think this may be the year we waive goodbye to Shanle - but I think it is Folwer over Glymph.

Also, Staley may have to go on the PS. he isn't in shape.

 

[Woods]

I think we only keep 9 LBs as well.

Agree that Polite is lumped in with the RBs, and either Ryan or Curtis make the team. At this stage, I'd go with Ryan.

Also, with respect to the CBs, I'm kind of thinking that Lenny Williams may supplant N. Jones.

As for the WRs, I think the final spot will be between Hurd and J. Rector.

Finally, as for the OL, Fabini vs. McQuistan should be interesting for a roster spot. Let's see if Fabini picks it up a notch.

 

[kTXe]

Kind of an OT question, but hasn't the practice squad been increased to 8 players?

 

[Big Dakota]

they will have to keep a kickoff guy.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

IMO your close

Fabina cut

Hurd at WR

 

[The Fonz]

Sam Hurd will be in mybe cooper out

 

[Yakuza Rich]

8 players are allowed on the practice squad now.


Rich........

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I think you have to re-think the TEs. It would be extemely difficult to run a two TE offense without at least 5 TEs.

Rich........

yes your right.

Not saying that you said this, but, wouldn't it be just as difficult to run a 2 WR set with 4 WR's as some are suggesting.

I can't see how we only keep 4 WR - That might be a first in the NFL.

Yes, it's tough to run an offense on just 4 WRs. It depends on how many 3 WR sets you intend to use in your offense but I'd say you almost have to have 4 WRs regardless. 5 is better and typically, it's the FB that goes. If your fifth TE is Polite, then it probably works better.

Doubt it -- teams rarely have more than 4 active for games. So you can accomplish the same stuff in practice using PS WRs

In fact, didn't we play last year with Key, Glenn, Crayton, and Copper as our only roster WRs for several games?

 

[silver]

WOW. All I can say is that I agree. and me too thinks Ryan makes it instead of Junior. Junior prolly replaces Summers on the PS.

No doubt we only have 4 active most games which is the problem we had with Peerless last year because the 4th guy was a special teams guy.

I would hate to put a guy with the physical attributes of Hurd on the practice squad after some of the practice reports, and I will be surpised if BP lets Copper go - considering his Special teams play.

i like the list, I would replace copper with hurd, probably keep peterman over shanle. or McQ over shanle. perhaps fabini won't make it.

 

[VACowboy]

Can third-year players be placed on the PS?

I don't think there's any way we keep both five WR and 5 TE, and since you run a heck of a lot more plays from three WR sets than with three TE on the field, I think it's a pretty good guess that the opening day roster will feature five wideouts and four tight ends. And I think Polite is gonna be the fourth TE. He's had a heck of a camp, learning to play the TE position as well as H and tail back. Parcells loves diverse players, and Polite can do a lot of things. The reason there are 10 LBs on the list is that I included Ellis. Last year it was five DE and anywhere between eight and 10 LB, depending on when you looked at the roster. I think Parcells is much more likely to keep Shanle or Glymph as a 10th LB than Ryan as a 5th TE. But, I could be wrong. There's a first time for everything. :laugh1:
