Last Fearless Stab At The 53 Man Roster

[Patler]

I heard a good analysis on the radio today for why Abrederris will make the final 53:

- Cobb isn't likely to return many punts this year, being the only WR with much experience.
- Hyde might not be available for game #1, or more.
- There is a bit of concern about Montgomery's hamstring, and they may want to limit his snaps for a week or more.
- They like Janis' potential as a punt returner, but he needs more experience catching punts. He has shown good hands, but unsteady getting into position.

Leaving Abrederris as the only reasonable choice to return punts in week #1.

SNAFU.

Cobb could still return punts, but be under the 'fair catch rule' where everything is fair caught or let go through the endzone. I could see Stubby going this way just to avoid a Ross-like disaster by putting a queasy Abracadabra back there on opening day.
