I'm back - Here is my 53 man roster

[xwalker]

This in my first post since sometime last year.

This is my preferred roster. They will probably keep Gachkar where I have a 6th CB and they will likely keep Wilcox where I have Frazier. If Nzeocha injury is serious, then Gachkar definitely stays. If McFadden, Dunbar and Hanna stay on PUP, then the decisions are fairly easy. I thought about going without a FB. If Hanna was active that would be easier. If Keith Smith is the FB, he could also be an extra LB allowing them to keep 1 less than they might otherwise.

Martin, Zack

TE 4

Williams, Terrance
Beasley, Cole
Butler, Brice
Whitehead, Lucky
PUP Brown, Chris

CB 6
Scandrick, Orlando
Claiborne, Morris
Carr, Brandon

Welcome back...I was wondering where you went...

I think they try to sneak Showers to the practice squad.

 

[cowboys1981]

Welcome back X. Good 53, I think Our offense and defense will benefit from subtracting Wilcox and Street. They've had plenty of time to make a case for staying.

 

[remdak]

Welcome back! Whether I agree with your opinions or not, I always enjoy your insight

 

[cowboys1981]

Welcome back...I was wondering where you went...

I think they try to sneak Showers to the practice squad.

I think Showers could be a PS guy. Really hasn't shown enough for someone to even consider him.

Welcome back...I was wondering where you went...

I think they try to sneak Showers to the practice squad.

Don't think it'll be that hard. He hasn't shown much.

Welcome back...I was wondering where you went...

I agree and I think after final cuts they sign another QB on the practice squad.

 

[Kaiser]

Great list, I totally agree with your picks for the secondary. I'm not sure they keep Gathers, I think one of the RBs would stay over him. Great to see you back.

 

[jobberone]

QBs Romo, Dak; Showers to PS and Moore to PUP or more likely IR
RBs Zeke, Morris; Jackson to PS; Dunbar to 53 or PUP depending health; Mac cut last cuts unless injury to top three; Smith is the FB
WRs Dez, Williams, Butler, Beasley definite 53; 1-2 others make it too early to tell; Jones in the mix as is Street. One newbie here.
TEs Witten, Escobar, Swaim, Hanna unless PUP/IR; too early to tell about the other two. Rico likely PS
S Jones, Heath, Church, Frazier or vet TBD; Wilcox cut or traded
CBs Claiborne, Scandrick, Carr, Brown, McKinnon; injury will determine number and players though
LBs Injury dictates with Lee, Durant, Hitchens, and Wilbur top 4 to date which may change; again injuries dictate; this is a mess
DL Injury, suspensions and surprises here although Lawrence, Thornton, T Crawford, Irving top players; Tapper, Jenkins, McClain should rotate along with Collins, Russell, the other Crawford and Mayowa; room for a few surprises and again injury will dictate who gets snaps.

Agree with the list 100% as well as King on the PS. He is a tackling machine. Good post.

 

[waving monkey]

Have been wondering about you X. Glad your back
like the Rico selection
agree about Jenkins

 

[xwalker]

Welcome back...I was wondering where you went...

I think they try to sneak Showers to the practice squad.

Thanks.

Yes, Showers might go to the PS but I really didn't need that spot with Dunbar. McFadden and Hanna on PUP. If Dunbar has been activated, then he would bump somebody on my roster. I see Dunbar as 1/2 WR and 1/2 RB so he could be considered the 6th WR in terms of the roster.

 

[xwalker]

Welcome back X. Good 53, I think Our offense and defense will benefit from subtracting Wilcox and Street. They've had plenty of time to make a case for staying.

Thanks.

Wilcox regressed. He was "good enough" in 2014 but regressed in 2015 and even more now. I thought his 2015 problems were related to the plantar fasciitis injury but apparently not based on this preseason. I think he is one of those guys that got some money and quit working hard. He looks like a player that never watches film.

The reason they like Street is because he has high character and work ethic. I've heard they actually encouraged him to hang around with Brice Butler to keep Butler on track in terms of off field activities. Having said that, I don't see any way Street makes the team..

I actually like Traylor, but he should be easy to keep on the PS. It appears that Dunbar is going to be or already has been activated from the PUP which would require bumping somebody from my list.

Gathers is intriguing. His build and athletic ability remind me of MartyB. Physically, MartyB is one of the most impressive guys I've seen at TE. I remember going to training camp during MartyB"s 2nd season and thinking he had All-Pro type of ability.

If Jenkins does not make the 53, something is wrong.

Rico would likely be inactive all season, but his physical ability is very intriguing.

Agree on Wilcox. It's weird to see a raw rookie with a lot of natural talent get worse every year. It's like the coaches taught him nothing.
