How Many of Rhule's Bear-Owls make the final 53?

Recommended Posts

Tecklenburg, Barnes, Chandler, Frankllin, Kirkwood, Thompson and Walker.

Based on this list:

Barnes makes it as a gunner / 5th or 6th corner

Chandler over Robinson due to ''Patriots Week'' as the addition of Woods moves Burris to depth and pushes Robinson out.

Franklin is ST, LB, and SS depth so he makes it as the 4th / 5th safety depending on how they split DB / S.

Kirkwood is cut, and if PS eligible will go there. 

Thompson is cut.

With Corral out of the mix I think we finally see PJ cut with Sam as the backup for a cool 18.8M.

IF somehow we find a way to eat salary / move Sam for a lowball pick PJ sticks around.

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.

Based on below, I dont think it is too far fetched. The team has been focusing on have a strong special teams this year, and that secondary depth will prove to be very helpful. Let me know if I missed anyone on the list. 

Note: I think some of these deep depth players will get swapped out with FA signings.

DJ, RA, Higgins, Shi, Zylstra then TMJ absolutely needs to get on the practice field. 

I would cut Roberts to keep Smith. Smith can return and as a receiver he has legit potential. 

As far as QB goes. The Corral injury may change their plans and maybe they keep Sam now. If not PJ will be the backup like he was always going to be and they’ll continue to try and offload Sam.

I agree almost entirely.  I don't see keeping 11 DBs while only keeping 6 LBs.  I think we pick up a DE after cuts.  We are really thin there.  I'd also like to acquire another IOL and LB after cuts too.

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.

Agreed for the most part.  If they choose someone over Barnes I believe he was slip through waivers and make the PS, at least initially.

Oops forgot Saunders.

He has a legit shot. I mentioned last year that Saunders is Rhule’s boy so I expect him to try to keep him around

I still think PJ winds up on the practice squad and we only keep 2 QBs.

100%. Rhule isn't going to totally wash his hands of PJ, but PJ was not going to make this 53 man roster even before the Corral injury.

I think the plan all along was to cut PJ and try to resign him to the PS. 

Corrals injury just means Baker and Sam will be the only 2 QBs on the 53 man roster IMO

Good list except I could see them keeping 7 WRs and only 10 DBs.

Agree with others there is a chance we make a waiver claim (and/or sign after week 1) for an offensive/defensive lineman. I guess I could still see a move at LB but I think we are better there than I thought before TC and preseason

    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre. 
    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
