There are ten of them: seven Temple and three Baylor.  Anderson, Ioannidis and Roy are locks.  The rest are bubble guys or outright cuts.  They are: Tecklenburg, Barnes, Chandler, Frankllin, Kirkwood, Thompson and Walker.

I don't think Rhule will allow all of the fringe guys to be cut even though they probably should.  It's a security blanket with his Bear-Owls surrounding him.

I'll set the total number (including the three locks) at over/under 6.5 to make the final 53 man roster.

Franklin, chandler and Barnes belong on the football team. I don’t care what college they went to. Franklin is probably our best special teams player now that Luvu has moved into the starting lineup. Chandler is solid depth at. Fs and SS. Barnes has potential and would get snagged if he went to the practice squad.

I like Robinson over Chandler and we aren't keeping six safeties.  Hartsfield will take a safety spot.  Who is Barnes supplanting to be CB #5?  Taylor?  STO?  I don't see him sticking over both of those guys.  Let me rephrase, shouldn't stick over both of those guys.

Yea it’s definitely a tough decision. I think the safety spot comes down to Franklin or Robinson. I think Burris might be the odd man out for the other safety spot and that willl allow both hartsfield and chandler. Barnes … to keep him, it would involve a tough decision. I just think he would get picked up off of the practice squad on speed alone. I also wouldn’t be surprised if we go 2 qbs and 6 cbs.

I don't think we keep 11 DBs.  Plus, even if we do only keep two QBs, I think the extra spot goes to a WR.  The guys on the bubble at WR have more potential impact for the team than an extra corner.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

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

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
