who am I missing?

brandon jamison, melton, curry

 

[Wp28]

my guess is,

Conner's positional flexability gives us options.

Johnson, Beason, Davis start.

Conner is a back-up.

the rest battle it our for two more spots.

 

[jorrey]

Damn! that is a lotta linebackers!

 

[Thelt]

Davis, Beason, Johnson, Diggs and Conner seem like locks to make the team. Shaw, Anderson, Seward and the other scrubs look to be fighting for only one or maybe two spots?

 

[Piper]

My guess is 7. That's what we have done.

Its possible, though unlilkely, that Diggs doesn't make the team. A 30 year old vet who is a marginal starter is a prime candidate for a cut.

cut fucking Anderson and Jamison, Melton.they suck i would like to keep diggs shaw, Seward, curry . We would have the most white LBS in the league

I think Diggs stays, we're awful young without him.

 

[Piper]

The only reason I think he might get cut is if he loses the starting job to LJ and Connor impresses enough to be the top guy off the bench. Now Diggs our 5th LB.
