Final Roster

[fredtoast]

I think all of our d-linemen would be more productive if we were able to rotate more guys, split the snaps, and keep their legs fresh.

Hopefully.  If Billings is going to be the answer at NT in the long term he should be taking snaps away from Sims before the season ends.  Said it before but that's a very underrated position.  

Agree, hopefully he takes the role but from what I've seen of his play so far he's got some work to do.

granted I've seen very little of the tape, but Malone has not impressed me at all. Too many through the hands. I don't suggest for a moment that a 4th round WR will get cut but anyone else unimpressed?

I would hope they'd keep the top 6-7 guys that would help them win, regardless of where they were drafted.

 

On the other hand, Margus Hunt.

Who should they have kept that was better than Hunt?

 

Margus was nothing special, but I don't remember them cutting anyone who was better in order to keep him.

I have not seen the Colts game, but through the first 3 preseason games Malone had 5 catches on 6 targets which is a great catch percentage.

Way better than Cody Core.

I feel Malone is going to be a great red zone weapon.

I am biased because I watched him in college, but the guys here familiar with my draft projections will confirm that I do not think every player is good just because he played for Tennessee.  I have called out many Vols as being "overrated" coming out of college.

 

I think he will be a very good NFL WR.  Last year the Vols had a very simplistic passing game.  Malone would have put up bigger numbers if he had played for a better passing team.

Jarveon Williams to ps??

[Inigo Montoya]

Not going to guess names but I will guess numbers:

 

2 QB 

4 RB/FB

7 WR

3 TE

9 OL

9 DL

6 LB

10 DB

3 K/P/LS

3 RB - Hill / Bernard / Mixon (Carson PS)

1 HB - Hewitt

7 WR - Greene / Lafell / Boyd / Core / Erickson / Malone / Ross (Whitfield PS)

3 TE - Eifert / Kroft / Uzomah (Carter PS)

9 OL - Bodine / Boling / Hopkins / Fisher / Ogbuehi / Johnson / Redmond / Westerman / Winston ( Dielman / Lechler PS)

9 DL - Atkins / Sims / Billings / Glasdow / Johnson / Dunlap / Clarke / CSmith / Willis (DWilliams / Tupou PS)

6 LB - Minter / Burfict / Vigil / Rey / Lawson / Evans  (Dawson PS)

9 DB - Jones / Kirkpatrick / Dennard / Jackson / KRussell / Shaw / Iloka / SWilliams / Fejedelem  / DSmith (Cox PS)

PK - Bullock (Elliott PS) -  In their dreams

PT - Huber

LS - Harris

 

* Do they get a roster exception if Burfict's 5-game suspension stands?

Final Spot - Carson vs. DSmith

IR - Driskell / Peerman / Schreck / Wilson

If Driskell isn't IR'd or McCarron dealt they will keep 3 QBs and go w/9 DBs (KRussell or DSmith cut)

** Wouldn't discount a PS QB from another team when Elliott does not clear waivers or he's dealt (Bucs?)

Veteran Cuts - ASmith / Gilberry / Hardison / Benwikere

Other Final cuts - Lee, Perkins, Stanton, ARussell, CBrown, Laufasa, JWilliams, Dean, RBrown, Bell, Dickerson, Albright, McRae,

Don't know about the PS but you pretty much nailed the final 53.

 

Elliot may beat Bullock but I think I agree with everything else.

I'm guessing that they'll reduce the suspension to three games....

Was surpirsed to see they kept Carter at the expense of a 9th DL when you have Hewitt who can fill at TE along with H-Back.  Would've tried to PS Carter and kept one of Gilberry/Clarke/Hardison.  HobKnob sez Jones & Burfict won't be on 53-man until suspensions are served, so it wouldn't shock me to see them bring back 2 of DL, DB or even OL temporarily.

 

I think they've been bent all along on the luxury of keeping seven wides with hopes of giving Malone a 'redshirt' season.  I'd say they go back to six next year by deciding LaFell is expendable or axing Core if he doesn't take the next step up.  Seems to me Malone may be a bit more advanced than they thought, which could be fortunate since it just seems a matter of time until Ross goes on the IR.

 

If they do take back that 7th WR slot, I'd like to see them look at drafting a young project in the 1st three rounds next year that could be brought a long to back both tackle spots.  When Burfict & Jones return from suspension, they should be at normal strength in the DB &  LB corps, but when UZomah is back to health I'd like to see Carter (if there are no other TE injuries) go to the PS and his roster slot go to a 9th DL.
