Roster Projection part II

[BeenPounding]

Another week, more waiting.  Football needs to arrive!!!!!

From reading reports and quotes by other players I can 100% see Nash Jensen making the 53.  Honestly, I want someone to step up so we can send Irving packing.  My bottom 5 on the roster to get to 53 are: (53.) Rowe (52.) Leota  (51.) STO (50.) C. Irving (49.) Byrd.  My last 5 to cut are (1.) YGM, (2.) Coleman (3.) R. Wright (4.) Brandon Smith (5.) D. Wright.  

We need depth in the secondary.  I only have kept Rowe because he can play both CB and Safety, but if Jammie steps up Rowe becomes replaceable.  If I had to choose between YGM and Leota I am choosing the younger player who we can control during his development.  Unless YGM breaks out, he is hampering the development of others behind him.  I chose Byrd because he is different from the other WR's in the room.  He's a legit speed guy.  I could see Viska returning kickoffs or punts, he does really well in Madden at that! (lol)  I don't see anyone signing R. Wright or B. Smith to a gameday 53 week 1 if we don't.  That gives us at least the opportunity to keep them as our protected 4.

Looks about right

[Smithers]

Rowe can play nickel CB, which does offer us some flexibility.  Chinn’s versatility also helps.  My guess is we keep another DE and roll with 4 CBs, moving Rowe over if needed.

Dude, I know that you probably copied and pasted from before, and I'm not necessarily trying to be a smartass, but you need to fix Matt "Carrol's" name next time.

Mingo is WR3, not TMJ according to the official depth chart.

First of all, thanks for sharing.  I love these kinds of posts because they confirm my thoughts or challenge my thinking---

Here is my thinking:  YGM?  Are you cutting him?
