What about our WRs?
No Byrd or Garrett? I could see possibly both making the squad and our WRs look like this:

KB
Funchess
Brown
Ginn
Byrd
Garrett

I know that Ginn could be replaced with Byrd but I just don't believe Ginn will be cut this season.

I could see Rigsbee making the squad as well. Scott has experience and if cut I would be surprised but it is possible.

TE and RB is the position that worries me the most. Either way we will end up loosing a talented player from each position.

Simonson has had a great camp and has experience over Sandland. Could Simonson block better than Dickson? Sandland has potential to be a starting TE in the future so cutting him would end that project.

Whittaker or Wregher? I would rather have Wregher, would the staff?

I don't see us keeping Kyle Love because we won't keep 5 DT.

Unless Delaire can turn it around then I could see us keeping Horton over him.

Would most definitely put Bersin over Garrett at this time

I was stuck at 52, until we signed Willie Smith.

Offense (25)

QB
Newton
Anderson
Webb

RB
Stewart
Whittaker
CAP  Wegher  (close, but RR is making excuses to the media for Wegher and questioning CAP--could be to motivate CAP, but RR is a straight shooter)

FB
Tolbert

WR
Benji
Funch
Ginn
Brown
Bersin

Byrd (not sure a 6th WR is necessary, but if Byrd can win the kick duties, he replaces Bersin or gets the 6th WR jersey).

TE
Olsen
Simonson
Sandland

Note:  If we were happy with Dickson, we would not have wanted Hunter Henry.  Dickson SUCKED in the SB.  Good Call.  Watch LUCAS, however-- he could be the third or even 4th TE.

T
Oher
Remmers
Williams
Smith

G
Turner
Norwell
Scott
Rigsbee

C
Kalil
Gradkowski

Defense (25)

DE
Johnson
Ealy
Addison
Horton Expect a signing here after cuts.

DT
Short
Lotulelei
Soliai
Love Interesting, but if their love for Eric Crume is enough to place the rookie from Syracuse on the PS, They could go with 4 DTs....
Butler

LB
Kuechly
Davis
Thompson
Klein
Mayo
Jacobs

Cash has a real shot--they simply have no depth at OLB--- a bunch of ILBs--Mayo, Jacobs, -even Klien is better inside.

CB
Bradberry
Worley
Benwikere
McClain
Sanchez
Williams You are probably right, but Williams can't play CB (remember when we brought in CBs late last season?) and he gets flags on special teams

S
Coleman
Boston
Jones
Marlowe

Special Teams (3)

K
Gano

P
Scifres

LS
Jansen


Most notable surprises to some would be Ed Dickson missing, only 5 WRs and Bersin being #5, CAP over Wegher, and Rigsbee making the final cut.

 

My comments in red.  Great to see another perspective--thanks

I'm thinking we go with only Turner / Norwell / Scott at G since Gradkowski and Williams can also play G, so only 9 total Offensive Linemen on the 53.

So that frees up a spot either for Byrd at WR or Dickson at TE.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
