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.

Norris

Cash

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 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.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
