There is always the churn before the first reg season game or at least in late training camp.
There are the surprise last-minute cuts (Oglesby) .. last-minute trades (Holland) etc.
What will the surprises be this year, as far as the 53 ???? ... Your 2 cents on what Wade & Co. are worried about, that they aren't talking about ...
Without any justification and due to my simple-minded kneejerk. And boredom and beer have brought me here tonight. Here's some opinions:
1) Kinda phasing out fullbacks. Deon Anderson, Tullius and these guys haven't gotten much talk. When was the last time in the SA blogs, MacMahon's running practice description, or anything, that you read that a FB made a good lead block, caught a swing pass, was involved in the offense, or anything? ... I wonder that because Phillips is a good blocker, maybe he or an OL-to-be-named-later can line up in short yardage if needed ... FBs may be on the street.
2) NT. Siavii hasn't been called out much. Will we save a spot and play M. Spears there?
3) Fear at CB. ... Courtney Brown and Mickens were the hopes, but neither has impressed so far. So much so that they are working DeAngelo Smith at CB (when they weren't going to, that was the game plan anyway) .. but now they wonder who can fill in at CB after cuts ... maybe Ball but I thought that was a permanent switch to safety. .. OK the best CB backup so far maybe has been Mike Hawkins, when is he going to get back in the lineup?
4) OT. No surprise. Cowboys scouts are like troubled bees at the moment trying to find some OL help ... we've got all our draft picks next year except for our fifth (?) but it's going to be a nice draft class next year so you think we wouldn't give up a pick too easy.
5) Buehler. After preseason, when teams have kickers are either injured or disappoint, there will be Buehler, who kicked a 75-yard field goal indoors in the Minnesota preseason game. He will fetch a good player when we have injuries or have needs.
