With the intriguing battles at WR & RB this season, I am curious who Huddlers would like to see on the final roster. IF you were the coach, who would you choose to keep at this point in the pre-season?

I would love to see Mike Brown and Boykin get reps earlier in the game against defensive starters.  Same with Wegher.  I think Ward should take Brockels spot, allowing us to still keep either 4 RB or 6 WR.  Brockel adds nothing to this team...he is not an offensive weapon and is a below average blocker.

Is there any chance we keep 5 RBs/FBs and 5 WRs (with Joe Webb being a #6)?

I'd love to see us keep either:

Stew, CAP, Wegher, Todman, Tolbert  or Stew, CAP, Wegher, Tolbert & Ward.

I really only like 4 WRs on this list at the moment:

Ginn, Funchess, Corey Brown (though he looked awful last night) and now Boykin.

I'm not adverse to keeping Bersin or Cotch as #5.  Mike Brown showed some flash tonight, and Byrd's obviously got some promise too.

But with KB and Hill's injuries, what was once an incredibly exciting WR battle has me now feeling somewhat underwhelmed.  I can only hope Funchess really steps up and becomes a real bright light this season.

Well to be fair, Stewart is making 8 million this year, Tolber makes about 2 million and everyone else makes less than a million.

 

Maybe they used money as a factor...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we'd actually save any money (or minimal amounts) if we cut him.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
