53 Man Roster......Not the first and surely not the last...

[DaveThePanther2008]

My current 53

 

I think with the addition of Ginn and Barner its over for Adams and Edwards

QB- Newton, Anderson

RB- Williams, Stewart, Tolbert

WR- Smith, LaFell,  Hixon, Gettis

TE- Olsen, Hartsock, Rosario

T-Gross, Bell, Chandler, G. Williams. Campbell

G-Silatolu, Hangartner, Kugbila, Wells

C- Kalil, Byers

DT- Lotulelei, Edwards, Short, Gaydosh, Cole

DE- Johnson, Hardy, Roh, Alexander

LB- Beason, Kuechly, Davis, Klein, Blackburn, Senn

CB- Drayton, Thomas, Norman, Munnerlyn, Moore, White

S- Godfrey, Mitchell, Campbell, Lester

LS- Janson

P- Nortman

K- Gano

KR- Barner

PR- Ginn

 

 

BOLD = Starter

 

Cameron will replace Clausen as #3 but on PS.

Gaydosh will beat out Fua

 

 

**Ginn also part of WR corps**

**Barner also part of RB corps**

***Chandler will be emergency DT***

 

If White and Lester are on this list because exposing them to the Practice Squad could be dangerous.  Most seem to believe they are steals of the draft.

Well, you were right about that.

Well, you were right about that.

And only that.

This thread is rather pointless at the moment as Gettleman is likely to bring in a couple of vets to fill some holes.

[PantherFeez]

we're carrying 11 o-line? no. 1 fs? no. clausen's contract is essentially fully guaranteed & nakamura has 700k salary vs 700 dead money (you pay him 700k to not play + cost of carrying that other fs's contract), so they'll make the team even though they aren't fan faves.

[The Huddler]

Just wanted to point out..

Gettleman said repeatedly that the kick returner will be one dude having BOTH duties. Trying to save a roster spot.

Ginn > Barner anyways

A lot of stuff wrong with this roster. We won't take 11 O-Linemen. 9/10 at most. No way we keep 5 DTs. 4 at most. Adams is not getting cut after one season. We will probably only have 5 CBs on the 53 man roster. Clausen will still be on the team. 

[Ace_Aladdin]

I think we take 5 DT ... We have 2 premier DE that will be on the field most of the time while having 2 solid backup ...this year strength is in the DT Which will help in rotation......I believe Star &KK also have experience playing DE

99.9% of all threads started between now and training camp are for the most part pointless and full of conjecture.  But at least it kills time and gives us something to talk about.  Alternative would be to shut down the message board, or, better yet, simply choose not to read the thread.

 

That said, I think speculating about the roster does help to show where our holes are.  I may not agree with the the number of OL and details but I do think we have problems with depth in the secondary and on the OL.  Not sure Gettis gets a helmet this year either.

We took 5 DTs and 4 DEs last year. If we follow that this year (not saying we will), I could see Star, Edwards, KK, Cole, and Fua/Gaydosh/Walker round out the DTs. DEs: CJ, Hardy, Alexander and Addison/a vet camp cut/someone who shows well in camp to fill the DE spots.

Well if Gett brings Ginn in as a WR, then he already has a roster spot. Then keep Barner as 3rd RB and tolbert as FB. But then again like you said he may want to save an extra spot for a lineman like gaydosh or cole. That way he can keep more d-lineman. Do we normally keep 3 RBs . I mean, with there history it wouldn't be dumb. U waive barner, he is gone.

[PhillyB]

we'll carry at least one more WR than you have listed

[CPF4LIFE]

I dont see Barner being cut. Him and Ginn will be on the roster, thats stupid.

JStew, DWill,Tolbert and Barner are all definite. Armond Smith and Tauren Poole are going to have to find a spot on the PS. Yeah, separating KR and PR are pointless at this point, Ginn and Barner will make it
