Latest Stab at 53 Man Roster

[texaspackerbacker]

I'd keep one less LB and one more O Lineman. That way, Coston stays. Either that or cut Thompson (the OT).

If that happens, I'd keep a 6th WR--Taj Smith, not Swain.

Also, I'd keep Bishop, but cut both Chillar and White.

I, too, would cut Morency and keep Wynn, or if not him, Lumpkin.

Ideally, we'd find some position player to long snap, but I've about given up on that actually happening.

Of course, this could all change with injuries or performance in any given preseason game.

That would be dumb.

What makes you say that? Bishop looked really good last season; Hodge apparently is healthy and looked really good on Monday; White is one-dimensional--not much good at all from scrimmage; And Chillar showed nothing in that game, and by reports I've heard, very little in practice.

Yeah, I guess I could have been a little more specific. I like Bishop, but White is more valuable on ST than Bishop and both are about the same positionally.

The Packers obviously knew what they were getting with Chillar to pay him the way they did. Cutting him because of a bad quarter or two of preseason ball wouldn't make any sense. I haven't heard the camp reports about him practicing poorly. I would imagine he may be having a difficult time adjusting to finding himself in the 4th LB spot, but I doubt cutting him before he plays in a real game after signing him to that 2 year 5.whatever million dollar contract is even a realistic option.

[texaspackerbacker]

I wish they hadn't even signed Chillar, but you may be right, they are unlikely to cut him quick, at least, after pulling the trigger to sign him.

Chillar is supposed to be good covering the TE's downfield and that was definitely a weak spot for us last year. He and Pops will prolly play some in this 3-4 lineup. That way Pop can be a standup end and either rush or drop into coverage as Hawk or Barnett blitz.

[bobblehead]

I wish one of our linemen would learn to longsnap. As this team keeps getting more and more depth, that 53rd spot is getting more valuable. Would be nice to have another CB, LB, or RB instead.

giants lost a playoff game a several years ago and I don't recall any team getting cute by not having a specialist since.

I also think that we will mysteriously have about 4-5 guys on the bubble suffer strange injuries at the end of camp and go on the DL for the year...sort of like wynn when he couldn't get past the 1st quarter last year.

Candidates....giacominni, flynn, harell, either hunter or thompson (DE), the rookie TE (forget his name).....you know the "non practicing" practice squad where we keep the rights.

[Harlan Huckleby]

i wonder if Harrell might be put on IR.

[SkinBasket]

I wonder when you're going to STFU.

[Harlan Huckleby]

i don't think we need that sort of profanity here

[SkinBasket]

I don't think I need you judging me.

[Joemailman]

i don't think we need that sort of profanity here

Well then, what sort of profanity do we need? Don't complain unless you have a better idea.

I think he was displeased with the "STFU" not being as clear and universally-understood as "shut the fuck up" in that instance.

sometimes you just gotta spell it out for the kids but i think skin will pull it off next time.

Harrel Injured Reserved

no way we start season with just 8 OL. I say only 2 TE or 1FB 3 TE. Past history shows that we can find another RB if one goes down to injury. So I would bet we go 3 TE 1 FB and 9 OL. With the 3rd TE being used as 2nd FB if need be.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Do they have 10 DL that deserve to make the team? Sounds like Muir is disappointing. Take his spot and give it to an OL. I doubt Swain makes the team. That would give them room for a veteran QB too.
