QB: Sam Darnold, Will Grier, PJ Walker (would’ve loved to add Minshew but oh well, for now, I give Grier the edge as QB2)

RB: Christian McCaffrey, Chuba Hubbard, Reggie Bonnafon

WR: DJ Moore, Robby Anderson, Terrace Marshall Jr, Shi Smith, David Moore, Brandon Zylstra 

very unfortunate what happened to Shi Smith last night. He had a great camp & preseason, hopefully, it isn’t as serious as it looked and he can return and see some action this year. When healthy, he’s the #4 wideout. But for now, Zylstra and Kirkwood likely take the empty spots until he comes back. 

TE: Dan Arnold, Tommy Tremble, Ian Thomas. I could very much see Thomas being cut or traded for a late pick. He’s miles behind Arnold and Tremble, and they could save just over 2 million in cap space by doing so. What I find interesting is we all though Tremble would be our H - Back type, but it’s been Giovanni Ricci lining up in that role all preseason. 


O line (Holds Breath) 


LT: Cam Erving, Trent Scott

LG: Pat Elflein, Dennis Daley

C - Matt Paradis, Sam Tecklenburg 

RG: John Miller, Deonte Brown

RT: Taylor Moton, Brady Christensen 

 

This is what we likely see week one. Although by midseason, I just can’t see the 3 weak link vets keeping the hungry rooks on the line for long. By week 8 I believe we’ll see: Moton-Daley-Paradis-Brown-Christensen. 
 

Defense


LDE: Brian Burns, Marquis Haynes

LDT: Derrick Brown, Bravvion Roy

RDT: DaQuan Jones, Daviyon Nixon 

RDE: Morgan Fox, Yetur Gross-Matos

SLB: Shaq Thompson, Frankie Luvu

MLB: Jermaine Carter Jr, Clay Johnston (please add some depth here, Fitterrer)

WLB: Haason Reddick 

LCB: Donte Jackson, Keith Taylor Jr, Rashaan Melvin 

RCB: Jaycee Horn, AJ Bouye, Stanley Thomas-Oliver

SS: Jeremy Chinn, Kenny Robinson, Myles Hartsfield (Hartsfield makes the team as a nickel/slot while Bouye serves his suspension, and Melvin nurses an injury.

FS: Juston Burris, Sam Franklin 

Special Teams:

Kicker: Ryan Santoso

Punter: Joe Charlton 

Return Specialist: Trenton Cannon (also the 4th RB/7th WR ATM) 

LS: JJ Jansen 


 

Fringe roster/practice squad options: Spencer Brown, Phil Hoskins, Christian Miller, Sean Chandler, Thomas Fletcher


Thoughts?

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
