I agree with everything other than one thing. I don't think we will keep 3 QBs. I think that it will be 2 QBs, and we have Peerman on the list. I will be surprised if he doesn't make the team considering we just gave him a contract, and he's good on ST. Other than that It's a really good list.

Honestly I think if it were to come down to pure RB ability that Terrell Watson would beat out Peerman if we were to keep 4 RB's, but you do have a good point about his special teams abilities.

[bludgeon]

I hope you're right. No Tate?! That means we'll.....CUT him!

I think Ogbuehi starts out either on IR or the PUP list, so makes sense not having him there, and gives us room to work with.

I'm excited by how deep our roster is.

[BritishBengal]

I think the OP is very close. I would argue Still doesn't make the grade because the likes of Hunt and especially Clarke are big enough to cover at DT. I think we take one more LB forward, be it Dimanche, Flowers or Porter. I could also see them going with 5 CBs and taking more than just 3 RBs, with Peerman/Wilder/Watson making it.

The biggest problem with your 53 is that it is 54

[milksheikh]

Rather have Sims than Still...


Respect Still for what he has gone through but Sims is what we need.. a Run stuffer/stopper.

[TommyBoy]

sounds about right, but man looking at our roster on paper, our team is as stacked as ever

[The Burfict Answer]

I think we only go 2 qbs
we will prolly keep ced.
tez will most likely be on pup so I think we keep flowers on roster too.
also sims>>>Still

[EatonFan]

Just thought I'd revive this one to see what we were thinking a few months ago.

Flowers might make it. He's played pretty decently, but I've seen him get seriously burned on some outside runs. Maybe it's not just his fault, but we have to do a better job of stopping RBs from getting to the edge on us. Hopefully, the return of MJ will help with that.

Porter can't get/stay healthy. PUP or IR (again) at best for him. Dimanche hasn't impressed me at all this preseason, but the whole team looked so awful against the Bucs, it's hard to know. I do know that Dawson looked like a starter out there. If he keeps improving, I think we'll have two All-Pro LBs. When was the last time that happened? I can't recall that it has.

Troy Hill looked great against the Giants, not so great against the Bucs. I think we could keep him on the PS if we paid him enough to stop other teams from snagging him. So, I can see where we'd keep 5 CBs.

Hall
Jones
DreK
Dennard
Shaw

But I wouldn't sacrifice the CB to keep an extra RB. We need to make a decision on Wilder, I agree with you. But it would be very hard to let Peerman go, given his experience and performance on STs. He's also done well as a RB when called upon, but he's not the runner that Wilder is. Wilder might bump Peerman though because he HAS shown major improvements on STs. Watson should stick on PS, but if he looks as good against the Bears and Colts as he did against the Giants, that could really make it hard for another team not to take if we don't keep him on the roster.

...and still zero wins in post season. What (who) is the common thread?

I agree about the QBs, except I could see Chris Carter or TJ Johnson getting that spot. Maybe Ced takes one of the WR or CB spots (Wright? Hill?). And I'd keep Sims over Still.

This 53 is pretty dead on.

8 seems light for the O-line, but our #10 D-lineman (Hunt) is better then our #9 O-lineman (Hopkins?  Hawkins? O'Donnell?).  Is our #6 CB (Hill) better than our #9 O-lineman?

Flowers may bump Carter at LB.  

Slight chance Peerman doesn't make it.

But I think this is pretty much it.
