Final 53

QB - 3 (Del/Wei/Bas)
RB - 5 (Fos/Wil/She/Goi/Hoo)
TE - 3 (Man/Gai/Sei)
WR - 4 (Smi/Joh/Col/Car)
OL - 9 (Wha/Wah/Har/Mat/Gro/Han/But/Mon/For)

CB - 5 (Luc/Gam/Mar/How/Bus)
S - 4 (Min/Wil/Bra/Sal)
LB - 7 (Mor/Dav/Dig/Dra/Ada/And/Sew)
DL - 9 (Ruc/Jen/Kem/Pep/Wal/Lew/Moo/Hay/Bro)

ST - 4 (Kas/Bak/Kyl/Hil)

PS - King, Haynes, McCullum, McClover, Stenavich

Cut - Hankton, Robertson, Cramer, Ciurciu, LeFors, Ellison, McCadam, Kadela, Beasley

Trade - Carstens

some team might contact us before the deadline on Saturday and offer us something for one of our DTs. IMO Carstens is both expendable and appealing enough coming off a solid year last season to draw interest. Since whoever we cut would immediately become a Texan, Saint, or Titan one of 28 other teams needing a DT would probably part with at least a 6th for one of our castoffs and that's better than nothing

 

QB - 3 (Del/Wei/don't care)

Seriously, it doesn't matter. though indeed Leflours sucks, neither has really distiguished themselves from in pratice from what I hear. My guess is that we'd keep Leflours and PS the other kid.

RB - 6 (Fos/Wil/Goi/Robertson/Hoo/Cramer)

I would like a backup FB. Robertson stays as a gunner and second kickoff guy.

TE - 3 (Gai/Mag/Sei)

Gaines has been with the first string since Spring.

WR - 5 (Smith/Joh/Col/Car/Hill)


OL - 9 (Wha/Wah/Har/Mat/Gro/Han/But/Mon/For)

Agree here. A bit thin at tackle though. I'd just as soon cut Handjob

CB - 5 (Luc/Gam/Mar/How/Bush)

I don't like going in with only 5 corners, you kind of need 4 active on gameday these days.

S - 4 (Min/Wil/Bra/Sal)

Branch's releative improvement makes me feel better about this position than having to rely on Salley as a top backup.

LB - 6 (Mor/Dav/Dig/Dra/And/Sew)

It's either Adams, or Bush or Carstens. Not actually sure if Adams isn't 8th here.

DL - 9 (Ruc/Jen/Kem/Pep/Wal/Lew/Moo/Hay/Carstens)

Better to keep our depth here.

ST - 3 (Kas/Bak/Kyl)

 

DO you gents really believe that we go with only 4 or 5 WRs? Last year we carried 7 on the 53 man roster with 4 or 5 active.

 

Especially since they always seem to find a way to keep Hankton...

89 Smith, Steve WR
15 Hill, Efrem WR
19 Johnson, Keyshawn WR
83 Colbert, Keary WR
18 Carter, Drew WR

 

My cuts, the bottom 8 would be PS (assuming eligable)

88 Hankton, Karl WR
94 Moorehead, Kindal DT
63 Hangartner, Geoff C
97 Brown, Tony DT
95 Alexander, Lorenzo DT
98 Ellison, Atiyyah DT
54 Ciurciu, Vinny LB
22 Robertson, Jamal RB
29 Hardy, Jermaine S
27 Parker, Billy S
25 McCadam, Kevin S
61 Kadela, Dave T
73 Beasley, Chad T
10 Bouknight, Jovon WR
85 Samp, Chris WR

11 Biddle, Taye WR
87 King, Jeff TE
65 Stenavich, Adam T
24 Haynes, Alex RB
3 LeFors, Stefan QB
46 Bergeron, David LB
60 O'Connor, Adam G
12 McCullum, Justin WR

 

With over 6 million in available cash space, IR is not out of the question for few dinged up guys.

 

Smith, Colbert, Carter, Proehl, Hankton, Rod Gardner for a while ... who else am I missing? 5 WR isn't that unusual, it just depends on what you have for your 5. We carried extra last year because it was our first without Moose.

Damn, I need to go back to school. I went through all of our gamebooks from last year a couple months ago and came up with the 7 number. I guess somewhere along the line, I added 1 +1 and got 5 or something close after rounding. 6 with 4 or 5 active is correct.
