Ferguson cut? You can't be serious. Ferguson did fine last year and was coming off an injury.

A Ferguson - Stanley rotation...now that I can see.

 

[junk]

Ferguson costs too much to be cut. He wasn't great last year, but gets a bum rap around here.

Singleton will be cut before he is traded. I don't expect anyone to trade for an aging LB.

Now for the critique. Sam Hurd? Crayton? Where's that scratching head icon.

Singleton traded? For what? Some pocket lint? Why would you trade solid talent? Bill stocks linebackers like I stock unmatched socks in my sock drawer.

Gurode is backing up RG and C just like he did last year. Kosier starts and Peterman backs him up.

 

[calico]

I disagree about Crayton. Had was on pace for an excellent season before his injury and he has PLENTY of talent to stay on this team, no matter how he reacts to the injury. Copper has not shown near as much as Crayton and never will.

And there is no way we cut Ferguson, especially after what we gave him in signing bonus just last year.

I missed that. Heck, I have stanely as my avy and I'll tell you right now that's probably the worst prediction in the post.

Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Wouldn't change a thing. I had no idea Peterman was taking snaps. ??? Versatility would gain him some much needed favor in BP's eyes.

I would only add that perhaps Jamaica Rector could be that last WR if he catches the ball as well as he works out.

I've heard equally positive statements about both (Rector and Merritt). That's a toss of the coin right there.

Agreed.

They didn't have him at it in MC but apparently BP has been working him at center since the season ended. I'm not sure if they think they can make anything out of it, but they're slowly making it a possibility.

I know all about it, I wrote that one

Mickey added a quick shot into the article that they've been working on it this off-season and the staff hopes they'll get time in for them in training camp. But they never snapped in mini camp. Maybe they're working on it in the OTAs.

I agree with most of your list, but 9 DL in a base 3-4 defense seems a little high. I know the plan is to run both 3-4 and 4-3 to confuse the offense, but 8 DL would back up every position in a 4-3. The extra roster spot could be used for another RB. Three RB's may be a little thin given Jones injury history.

With how keen BP is on keeping this thick rotation at DL, nine linemen would essentially give him three different lines to throw at offenses. Given the youth of the team in that area, I'm sure he wants all the back-up he can get at the position. After all, that's where it all starts in the 3-4.

He could go 8 if he wanted, but adding guys for contingency reasons instead of guys you can actually use (Peerless Price anyone?) is rarely a good idea.

Alright smarty pants, since we think alike. Give me your inactives!

In the depth chart Crayton will be above Green, and hopefully Watkins will learn the system in time to start over Davis.....that may be a stretch thoug. Otherwise looks good. Although I wouldnt mind seeing Mroz make the team.....

i'm not a henson supporter and he's been given too long to prove himself.

 

[AbeBeta]

also Pittdawg reported this to us (re: Peterman) about a month ago - he's playing RG too.

so much for the "he's not versatile" stuff.
