Here's the guys on the roster now:
Brandon Bell
Preston Brown
Deshaun Davis R
Jordan Evans
Malik Jefferson
Hardy Nickerson
Germaine Pratt R
Nick Vigil
Chris Worley
It seems Vincent Rey isn't coming back ?
It's most likely Preston Brown and Nick Vigil are on the team/starters. I'd guess they're not going to cut Jefferson, a 3rd round pick with such a small sample size. Pratt is on the team and probably our starting will.
Who are the other two on the 53 barring any late additions ? I'd guess there's a fair chance Deshaun Davis makes the team he's a thumping run stopper and we've stunk against the run a lot of late.
That leaves Bell, Evans, Nickerson, and Worley fighting for the final spot. Of course one or two may make PS. I can't imagine Nickerson making the team and of the other 3 Evans has shown promise at times.
So I'd say:
Brown
Vigil
Pratt
Jefferson
Davis
Evans
What do you think ? Is this enough ? Can this crew improve a historically bad LBer corps ?
My early thought is Davis and Evans. I think a roster cut from another team that we pick up leading into camp could change that though.
