Preseason Week 1 Post Game Depth Chart Prediction

How do you think this looks? Have one of your own? Post here.

I think Byrd has solidified the 5th WR spot. We could use him especially if Samuel has injury issues throughout the season. Clay also is our best PR man. He had 10.6 yards per average for the Ravens and 15 yards per average in college. That's an eye opener and he displayed his talent last night.

I also didn't notice us use a FB hardly at all on offense. That's what makes me think we carry only 1 FB and stash Armah on the PS as he learns and grows for the future. This will also allow us to carry 6 WRs (or anyone extra on the depth chart, depends on how you view it). 

For the 9th OL spot, I see Amini taking that as we could use all the depth at tackle that we can get even though Moton or Williams could slide over in that spot in a pinch. 

For defense I thought Southward did a good job. He has experience already and that is sorely needed for depth at the safety position. I could also see us carrying 5 safeties with L.J. McCray being the 5th with Southward playing the S/CB role due to absolutely nothing behind our 4 locks at the CB position.

The only other guy I could see making it is Boulware if he steps up. I would be warry of stashing him on the PS. I could see Horton or one of the 4th RBs go if he shows something this preseason. Although it's hard for me to imagine Rivera cutting either Whittaker or CAP. We've cut Horton like 3 times already though right?

With Gano you can never tell if he could get cut or not with this coaching staff. Gano appears to be one of Rivera's guys, but if he misses a couple more while Butker continues making his, especially at 50+, he would be dumb for not cutting him.

Elder may start the season on IR. Would allow us another CB.

 

I don't see Gano making this roster. 

Hope you're right.  The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  Keeping Gano is insane.

    • 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
