Way too early? Of course it is!

But here we go anyway

QB: Foles, Mannion
RB: Gurley, Mason, Cunningham, Watts
WR: Quick, Britt, Austin, Bailey, Sasser
TE: Cook, Kendricks, Harkey, Cunningham
OL: Grob, Saffold, Havenstein, Brown, Donnal, Jones, Wichmann, Rhaney, Barnes, Reynolds

On the bubble on the O: Chase Reynolds, Pead, Givens, Bond, Washington, Bayer


DL: Quinn, Long, Westbrooks, Hayes, Brockers, Donald, Fairley, Sims
LB: Ogletree, JL, Bates, Ayers, Dunbar, Hager
S: McDonald, McLeod, Alexander, Barron, Bryant
CB: JJ, Tru, Joyner, Gaines, McGee, Roberson

On the bubble on D: Cody Davis, Trinca-Pasat (can we really carry only 3 DTs?), McFadden, Ifedi

McQuaide
Hekker
Greg

I think there may be a good battle between Austin Davis and Case Keenum for that 54th spot as well.

Who am I forgetting about? I feel I may be one man light on D Line and one man heavy on the DBs.

On offense, I could see a 6th WR making it since Quick is still on the mend. But from where? Hated losing Chase Reynolds but couldn't fit him in without axing Watts.
 
I'll give this a stab.
QB - Foles, Mannion
RB - Gurley, Mason, Cunningham, Pead, Reynolds (Core ST)
WR - Quick, Britt, Austin, Bailey, Sasser, Rodriguez (Core ST)
TE- Cook, Kendricks, Harkey, Cunningham
OL - Robinson, Brown, Rhaney, Saffold, Havenstein, Donnal, Wichmann, Reynolds, Barnes

DE - Quinn, Long, Hayes, Westbrooks, Ifedi (the Memphis dude)
DT - Brockers, Donald, Fairley, Trinca-Pasat
LB - Ogletree, JL, Ayers, Bates, Hager
DB - Jenkins, Gaines, Johnson, Joyner, Barron, McDonald, McLeod, Roberson, Alexander, Bryant, Hagan (the dude from Liberty)

ST
Greg, McQuaide, Hekker
 
I thought they were expanding the roster this year?...Before I prematurely speculate, I wanna see some of them in pads...but great topic...

This looks pretty good, But, to me, it's a bit premature because we haven't even seen them play, or how they work together as a unit!:cautious:;)

I think you are one man heavy.

If Rodriguez makes it, I'm going to be really happy, as long as he can play and it's not a feel good story.

No Sims?
 
Sasser over Givens?

Um......no.

I realize the time is fresh and new guys are cool. I also know that Givens needs to show out, But please be realistic

What is a "vet waiver"?
sorry....I meant that Sims doesnt get the spot because he is a vet. This isnt Spag times. No spot is guaranteed and I dont think Sims is good enough to get any veteran favors.

Um......no.

Sorry. Givens is just flat out terrible and it isn't even really up for debate. Bad hands. Bad routes. No fight in him.

What was that old TV show? "You are the weakest link. Goodbye."

Anyway, I know you have a hard-on for Mannion, 12, but 2nd string? Just no. We're carrying 3 QBs. Can't see how we don't.
 
Ah, slang, I get it.

I've always thought of Sims as being pretty good, no?

Yes. As a backup. He's never excited me though, and I do tend to miss alot when going to get a new beer. But I think we need to open our minds a bit and get ready for some unexpected decisions. When the roster starts getting solid like ours is starting to get, surprises tend to happen.

We will see. I think if Givens has any fight in him at all, then he will fight off Sasser.

If Givens doesn't beat him out then I will trust an make sense of the fact that we have lined ourselves up with the best roster for this team at this time.
 
Here's my prediction:

QB - Foles, Keenum, Mannion.
RB - Gurley, Mason, Cunningham, Watts.
WR - Britt, Quick, Austin, Bailey, Ferguson.
TE - Cook, Kendricks, Harkey, Bayer.
OL - Robinson, Brown, Rhaney, Saffold, Havenstein, Wichmann, Donnal, Jones, Reynolds, Barnes.
DL - Quinn, Long, Hayes, Sims, Westbrooks, Donald, Brockers, Fairley, Trinca-Pasat.
LB - Laurinaitis, Ogletree, Ayers, Bates, Hager.
DB - Johnson, Gaines, Jenkins, Joyner, Roberson, McDonald, McLeod, Barron, Alexander, Claiborne.
ST - Zuerlein, Hekker, McQuiade.
 
I think Barksdale will end up on the 53.
