It is a tight battle for those back up DL positions. They will be cutting guys who can contribute and it might be tough to keep some of them on the PS. There will be some hard decisions that will have to be made.
Max Scharping cemented his place on the 53 with his play at center last night. A versatile IOL is essential in today's NFL
Andrei Iosivas is a lock to make the team. Those final WR spots are now a battle among Taylor, Morgan, Lassiter, and Jones. Darren Simmons will likely decide who stays and who goes.
Whichever punter loses the job, he won't be unemployed for long. I suspect they won't survive waivers.
Good post.
I no way do I think Jackson makes the team. But having him on the PS means we don't really need Morgan. The gunner spot can be Anderson or Ivey or Battle.

Surely, some of these guys will get poached & we may get someone on the waiver wire. And there are still camp battles.
