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 have to wait until the next couple o' games to even dare gander there. Something about those last games that makes for "good" arguments.

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

You're at 51 without the 3 STers.

I recounted three times and each time I got 50, and the three STer's goes without being said.

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.
