I really think Bickerstaff has been moved to FB to make this team, and I think he will. I don't think it's going to have any bearing on A-Train or Tyson Thompson though. I think they both make it with Bickerstaff. I think the men left out are Polite and Barnes - the true FBs.

There's too much time left for injuries to effect predictions but what I'd like to see is Bickerstaff and ATrain play the FB role Parcells likes. I think either can do that and Bickerstaff out to be able to move some people. Getting in the way and moving people a little is usually as effective as those big blasts everyone gets a kick out of.

I was used to Moose but I've come to believe a versatile FB is a better weapon.

I'm very intrigued by TT. I see Parcells doing everything he can to keep this kid on the team.

I can see JJ, ATrain, Bickerstaff, MB, and TT. It all depends on keeping a true FB or not. May be a tough decision for Parcells if everyone stays healthy and does well. They is talent there.

This is the Thompson lovefest thread!. No way does Bill keep 3 inexp RB's. so I'am pretty sure A-Train is here, TT starts on Practice squad. All this love for TT reminds of Rashard Lee!.

I'm trying to figure out how you could even afford to suit Anthony Thomas up for a game even if you kept him on the roster. Julius suits up. MBIII is the nickel back, he suits up. If Tyson Thompson wins he KO return duties, he'll suit up. That's three RB's already. A-train seems like a luxory we can't afford to keep, and if all we're doing is keeping him around as a big, slow plodder for 5 carries a game you're better off keeping a guy who can also play fullback.

Personally, I don't really give a crap about experience as far as RB's are concerned. Its difficult to keep such a limited player on a roster when he's not even that great at what he does.

I think Bic will be moved to FB ala BP; Polite will go to the PS and
JJ, AT, MB111 and TT will be the RBs. I can't see Thomas not making the squad because he is the only experienced backup rb to JJ. Thomas is a seasoned, proven commodity. It appears that Barnes could be the odd man out.
