I know some of these guys play different positions/roles but if you had to choose your final roster from these matchups, who you got?
Mitchell vs. Patmon (I did not include Webb b/c from what I read on the DMN today, it sounds like he's expected to make the team)
C. Lawrence vs. W. Smith
Byrd vs. Newsome
R. Williams vs. J. Randle
Wetzel vs. Parnell
A. Watson vs. Clutts
U. Nwaneri vs. Patrick
Hayden vs. Coleman vs. Bishop (choose two)
NIce thread. I was just going through the roster and was thinking of making a thread about who people have as their last 22 cuts, actually 23, since Spencer will be removed from PUP and added to the roster. This is before the final preseason game though.
And had a list that came down to my last 5, similier to yours.
Cuts that I have no problem coming up with....not even thinking PS at this point either, well not too much...
Vaughan [ps], Adams. Benford, Briscoe, Sapp, Lemon, R. Smith, K. Smith, Watson, Goodin, Patrick [ps], Wetzel [ps], Aledenoye, Bush [ps], Rayford, Boatright, Minter.
Now to the last 5...
W. Smith, keeping Lawrence, as ST's play is proven, Smith good PS guy
Weems, keeping Parnell, as team seems to like him more still at this point
Webb, keeping Patmon, however I wouldn't be surprised, if they keep Webb, and try to get Patmon to PS
Newsome, keep Byrd, I think only because Byrd can play ST's. Also depends how much he can contribute though, if not that much, and is inactive, then might as well keep Newsome.
Hamilton, this was a tough choice, but it's a numbers game here, and it was between Hamilton, Heath, Dixson, Patmon to keep, unless they keep 10 DB's. I have them keeping 9, because of going long at WR & possibly RB.
Now for the toughest choice, Randle, Williams, Clutts. Right now I will say Randle will be a surprise cut, depending on the severity of his rib injury. Or Clutts and go no FB for a few games until they get the DL sorted out and specer / Lawrence return. As they may go long here, but once one or both of them return, do they need that many DL.
I have them keeping 10 for now.
Now I'm sure I have some numbers of how many kept at what positions messed upped, but this is my shot at it for now. It's early, on 1st cup of coffee...LOL
