With the talent on this roster, which 7 don't get to play? Your guess is as good as mine, but barring unexpected injuries here's what I have.

Offense: Simonson and Bersin are the weakest links at their positions. Hawkins, and Larsen here since Gino can provide Guard backup as well as center. This concerns me since our O-Line depth is already frightening.

Defense: Norris, I didn't expect him to make the team anyway. LaVar Edwards needs to learn the system. Cash won't see the field at LB, and is replaceable on ST. I know that this is going to cause an uproar, but who else you gonna sit this week? Is Marlowe still injured? This would leave us way thin at Safety with only Jones providing backup (yikes). DT and DE rotate, so we need those 8. Teddy Williams is only on the team to play ST, so I don't see him getting benched.

If Marlowe is a no go, it sounds like Ron will call up Marcus Ball from the PS as emergency safety.  (He's making the trip to Denver) He mentioned it in today's press conference.

As for inactives, I'll guess:

Norris

Cash

Larsen OR Hawkins

Lavar Edwards

Byrd

Bersin OR Simonson

Worley OR McClain

 

It's a very tough call on a few of those.

Hawkins

Bersin

Byrd

McClain

Edwards

WR5 can be manned by Webb in case of emergency so Byrd and Bersin both sit. 5 LBs is plenty so Norris and Cash sit. Williams covers both OT spots and Gradkowski and Larsen cover the interior so Hawkins sits. Edwards is too new so Delaire gets the nod as DE4. Bene will play the nickel and Colin Jones can be a backup there as well as safety so McClain sits so Williams can play STs. Simonson is active since I'm fairly certain we always like to have 3 active TEs when possible. If Marlowe can't go then I think we cut one of Norris, Bersin, Cash or Byrd to activate Ball from the PS and Marlowe is then one of the 7 inactives then we cut Ball and re-sign the guy who was cut to make a spot on Monday.

Sitting McClain would not be wise. He is better than Worley at this point

I agree and McClain gives us a backup PR in case something happens to Ginn but I'm just posting what I think will happen. Teddy Williams would be my personal choice to sit amongst the CBs since he's pretty useless on defense and penalty time bomb on ST but the coaches seem to really like what he does on ST.

CAP

McClain

 

CAP was inactive for most of last year. Nothing in front of him has changed at all. 

I'd rather have CAP up than Fozzy purely on matchup.  I think you run at Denver between the tackles.   Stewart might not be ready for 4 quarters of bringing the noise in that altitude.   CAP IMO is the 2nd best between the tackles runner we got.

Tolbert is the between the tackles backup. Fozzy is the changeup

you know me and 30 yr old RBs.

I'm not as big on Tolbert as some anymore.  A lot of games he takes a LONG time to hit those holes.  He also had what 2 fumbles last time vs Denver?   I'd still prefer the young between the tackles runner.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing more fun than watching a fat guy run with a 10 yard headstart.....and someone trying to come at him.

I agree with you, but I am just going off what rivera has said. Fozzy and Tolbert are the second string backs. CAP is the third. if one is inactive its fozzy.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
