Now That Preseason Has Concluded, What Is Your Depth Chart at RB, WR, and TE On The Current Roster?


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

QB: Cam, DA, Webb

HB: Stewart, CAP, Fozzy, Todman

FB: Tolbert, Brockel

WR: Ginn, Funchess, Brown, Cotchery, Norwood, Bersin

TE: Olsen, Dickson, Simonson

LT: Oher, Chandler

LG: Norwell, Silatolu

C: Kalil

RG: Turner, Scott

RT: Remmers, Williams

 

Swoll makes it due to him being the best blocking TE on the roster.  Soimonson and Lucas can't do that yet. ..

You may be right, Cam seems to be a big fan of his, too. I would like him to make it, I just made the projection based on the injury really.

Can't see them keeping more than 26 on offense, gotta have some bodies for the defense. Probably some combination of 9-10 DL, 5-6 LB, 8-10 DB for a total of 24 on defense. As for the offense:

3 QB (Personally I'd drop Webb for another RB or WR)

4 RB: Stewart, Tolbert, CAP, Todman

6 WR: Funchess, Cotchery, Ginn, Bersin, Philly, Norwood

4 TE: Olsen, Dickson, Lucas, Bricker

9 OL: Kalil, Norwell, Turner, Oher, Remmers, Williams, Scott, Silatolu, Chandler

26 offense, 24 defense

Todman is Fozzy plus long speed. I'm a Fozzy fan, but he and Todman are too similar and Todman wins out in ability and potential. 

Fozzy has more than enough speed and also has the ability to break tackles. Additionally, Todman is only a year younger than Fozzy, so I don't buy the potential argument. If Todman was 22, sure, but the age factor is negligible.

I won't argue age, because honestly to me it doesn't matter in this case. But it is just a fact that Todman is faster. He can do everything Fozzy can do and possibly more, Like I said before, I am a Fozzy fan, but I know what I see. Todman has the long term potential because of his rare ability to accelerate and pull away from the pack.

So, we are not taking into account Todman's knack for mental errors and the runs for negative yardage?

So you are saying you didn't see Fozzy take hits for a loss or whiff on a blocking assignment? Because I have. It's about what you have in a player and what you can mold them to be, Fozzy is a very serviceable role player, no doubt. But Todman has the athletic edge without giving up too much in the mental error department. But I wouldn't even be upset if we kept Fozzy over Todman. I will, however, be upset if we cut Wegher, Wegher is a future 20+ carry horse for a team.

I have seen Todman forget when he is suppose to be on the field and run to the wrong hole multiple times. Not just missing blocks. He would have been cut 2 weeks ago if he answered to Belichick.

As for Wegher they punished him the most of any back in the preseason tonight. They repeatedly tossed him into the A gap and Skipper told him not to bounce it outside after the first run he bounced outside. They have not done that to any RB the entire preseason. CAP lives on finding his own hole and not the designated one. Todman runs it east to west looking for a crease.

And I discount draw plays because those are gimmick runs trying to catch the defense sleeping on 3rd and long. Really no work by the RB. It is there or it isn't - all dependent on the defense.

Wegher has been the only RB that has looked good in the red zone with the defense crowding the running game - just wish we saw Wegher against the 1st team defense for 3 to 5 carries.
