What do you notice?
 

Where do you see similarities and differences?

 

How do you see it?

 

 

[Ken]

Highly doubt Joe Webb is making the roster.

[Mr. Scot]

I did notice neither guy puts Todman in the runningback rotation.

 

Both have him returning kicks, but they flip flop Philly and Fozzy behind the number ones.

[Panthers8969]

I'll be very disappointed if swole bones gets cut. Dude has a lot of potential and I'd like to see him get more snaps/chances. Better recover than dickson is. Also I don't see how bersin would remain on the team

[London Loves Luke]

Person has a 53 man, Newton includes practice squad. Interesting that Person has 7 wide receivers and neither include Todman in the RB group.

[Mr. Scot]

I know I'm gonna do one of these myself sometime soon.

 

I'm OCD about it though.  Takes a while.

[WUnderhill]

I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that we'll never see him get much of an opportunity here. Ron won't give him significant PT unless we have inuries, and in the PT he does get Shula won't play to his strengths. He'll probably go to another team and beast it.

Is he for real though?  Is it possible he's the Legend of Barnidge, Part 2?

 

[Jeremy Igo]

Newton's post camp roster was way off, not sure his post draft roster is something to put stock in.

[KillerKat]

I just don't see the use for Cotchery. He doesn't play ST and he is a slow WR with drop problems. Boykin, Ginn, and Brown all play ST and decent at WR. Ginn had a career year at WR last time he was with us. Brown was our most consistent WR last year. The coaches love Boykin. 

I also don't see how Todman would get cut and Scott would make it. 7 WRs? I highly doubt that. Daryl Williams will also be our starting RT. Ted Ginn will also be out on both KR and PR. 

 

I see it like this atm:

No stock in the "veteran mentor" angle?

[KillerKat]

No stock in the "veteran mentor" angle?

 

 

This team is too talented to waste a spot on a player/coach. Especially one that can't actually play. This is what your WR coach is for.

So what do you do with Harper?

 

[KillerKat]

So what do you do with Harper?

 

 

Harper at least showed decent play at the end. That's the only reason why I think he would be on the team right now. I can very easily see him getting cut though if someone else on the roster steps up and values keeping that player over Harper.  Plus it's not 100% yet Coleman will beat him out even though I think he will.
