Will the Boys carry 4 RBs?

[CanadaBoys]

I don't see why not. Thompson has shown WAY too much to get cut and would never clear waivers for the PS. Barber is too high a pick and has shown lots of ability himself. Thomas COULD be the odd man out but his stats have been solid from what I see and you really want the proven guy around since we know julius has an injury history.

I know there is a lot of talk of cutting 1. But I really think we should carry 4.

5 if you include Polite. BTW who's gates? Do you mean Barber?

 

[The30YardSlant]

Polite is a FB

Polite is a FB

Yeah and the other 4 are HB's but they are all RB's

 

[TheDuke]

gates??????

 

[Sarge]

Yeah and the other 4 are HB's but they are all RB's

IMO - HB. RB means RB, FB means FB but what the heckll do I know?

Brain cramp.... was just talking about Antonio gates missing week 1 sorry. Barber of course... and i was thinking of Polite as a FB but yes...

Yes, it looks like we will carry 4, but Barber might not be next in lkine now behind A-Train!

This Thompson kid is going to be special!

QB: 3
WR: 5
RB: 4
FB: 1
OL: 10
TE: 4

That's 27 offensive players.

DL: 8
LB: 8
CB: 5
S: 3

That's 24 defensive players. Add a kicker and a punter and there's your 53.

The way I see it, Bill either keeps 4 RBs or 4 TE, not both.

Here's what I think we know:

There will be 8 LBs on the final roster.
There will be 3 QBs.
There will be 10 OL.
There will be 9 DBs (at the least).
5 WRs.
1 punter.
1 kicker.
Polite has made the team.
Anthony Thomas has made the team.
Barber has made the team.

The real question:

What is the order of Parcells' priority?

Jeff Robinson?
Ryan AND Pierce?
Tyson Thompson?
Ratliff?

One or two of those has got to give.

What I'd like to see is Pierce become a steady long snapper so we can let Robinson go and put Ryan on the PS. I'm afraid, though, that when all is said and done, Thompson is gonna be on the outside looking in. Ratliff or Thomas is the last cut.
