My way too early roster and cut projections *updated 8/23/13, big changes

[Pazhoosier89]

I don' t trust Gano at all at kicker. Hopefully Getts finds someone better once cuts are made.

Everyone thought that about Kendric Burney last year as well.  Lester has a lot of limitations.  I know people are excited about him right now, but there is a very slim chance he makes this team.  Lester and DJ Campbell both will not make this team.. only one of them will, and I believe it will be Campbell.

 

They both will make the team. Lester was a highly sought after UDFA. He won't last a hour on PS. Bet on it.

You don't blush about a player then put him on PS hoping to stash him. Other teams read the paper as well.

I guess we will revisit this thread in about 4 weeks or so.  :)

I guess we will revisit this thread in about 4 weeks or so. :)

I'll be modifying my predictions twice. Once after the bears preseason game and once after week 3 preseason game. I'll leave the original up unedited for fun.

i pray that we cut clausen and keep colby cameron as the 3rd QB

[Razeyfingers]

89 will tell you over and over again, some guys play well when the lights come on and some guys dont. Dont expect miracles from guys that look good "on paper".

1. Naka is gone the numbers just don't work for him.

 

2. Dockery isn't going to make it. Moore can play FS as well so he has more value.

 

3. I see 9 Dlinemen and 9 Olinemen making the team.

 

4. I think Hartsog, B-will and Brockle make the team.

 

5. We are only keeping 6 WR

 

 

 

 

1. I hope you're right.

2. I dunno, Dockery looked pretty solid for such an unexperienced guy last year.  With more experienced he could be a solid starter.  And Moore would make a tiny FS...isn't he like 5'9?

3. Yea, I could see that too.

4. I don't see the need for 3 TEs and 2 FBs.  I'm thinking either Hartsock or Brockel don't make the team.  Either they'll value Hartsock's blocking more or Brockel's versatility at FB and TE, but I don't think they'll keep both.  It's a 50/50 to me which goes.

5. Quite possible, but I think it'd be wiser to keep 7.  Lotta young guys we need to figure out if they're going to be a long term part of the plan.

I think with Gettleman here, the philosophy may change to improve our depth. I like Colin Jones, but can he play safety if needed. One difference between us and better teams is that their ST players can step in and play if needed. Too often in the past, we had OK ST'ers who stunk when needed due to injury. If Lester can be above average at ST, I think he makes it. Same for Dockery ( who played well when asked last year), and B Williams. Armanti could easily be EMERGENCY QB if he makes it as WR and save a roster spot.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I feel like signing Brandon Moore makes too much sense for gettleman not to do it, freed up a bunch of cap this year and he would help solidify that line

[DaveThePanther2008]

I see no reason why we keep Adams and Edwards.  With Barner and Ginn we have all the possible KR/PR we need.

 

Pilares or even Bersin.

 

Think we keep on 6 LBers too.

 

Cole is a great runstopper or that was his forte before he got hurt.  I don't see us letting him go for Kearse.  With the extra spot (dropping a LBer) we could keep Kearse.

 

Why wouldn't Gaydosh be able to go to the practice squad?  He's a rookie.  He may not want to and choose to go to CFL but that would be crazy.  From what I understand.  Practice squad players make more than CFL players but then again he was #1 Pick.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Depends how many DTs we keep, but I think kearse or cole would make it over fua

[Jhyler12]

I thought so too at first. Keep a developmental QB on the PS, frees a roster spot.  However, I hear CC has been very bad.

 

Has he really, wow...  Oh well I guess we are stuck with Pickles and his guaranteed clipboard money...

Just one perspective-- but nobody disagreed.  I had the same hopes as you.
