Who earned their way onto the PS?

As far as the 53 goes, I think Trevor Roach made a case to stick around at least until Burfict returns.
I also thought Tra Carson made a case to make the 53, though you could argue the same for Bronson Hill. I just think Carson looks to be a stronger runner and better receiver.

I feel bad for Kumerow, playing as well as he did tonight. I know he won't make the 53, but I think he should make the PS. Alonzo Russell, too. Simonize is going to be cut. Can't see him making the PS.

I thought the job that Tony McRae did in coverage and in the return game earned him a spot on the PS. Hillary might make it, too.

Lengel has looked good enough to make the PS.

Going into tonight, I thought David Dean and Ryan Brown were both good talent for the PS. I even thought Brown stood a chance of beating out Hunt for a spot on the 53. But Hunt probably did well enough to save his job. It's debatable. I think it's time we move on, but I'm not sure Brown is all the way there yet in terms of being a legit guy for our rotation behind Carlos. I hope we can pick someone up.

What do think? Who stays? Who goes? Who goes on the PS?

Players that I thought looked good.

Defense:
Trevor Roach - He plays well every chance he gets, they should opt to keep 7 backers to start the season.
Vigil/Dawson - both played well even though they didn't fill up the stat sheet.
Williams/Hunt/Clarke - all 3 got good push and helped disrupt, of the 3 Hunt was the most inconsistent, but overall they all did some nice things.
Fej/Smith/Shaw - were the best of the secondary, the rest looked bad to mediocre save for a few plays.

Offense:
Tre Carson - ran well when he had a hole and did well as a receiver.
Kummerow/Russel/Erickson - all 3 looked good when the ball was thrown their way.

Specialist:
Erickson/McCrae - while Erickson didn't have any break away punts this game he still was able to make players miss on the initial tackles. McCrae almost broke a kick return, but go tripped up. He's fighting for the final CB spot and possible KR duties and really hustled out there.
