Now that we have our roster, who's inactive Thursday

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

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.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
