The So Early It's Both Awesome & Stupid Thread- Pick the 53

[Brandon494]

Going to wait until we finish signing UDFA because you know at least one will make the team.

[mraynrand]

Last Night I read that Linsley could long snap.

That's good and not goode all at the same time.

What could be more riveting than a training camp battle of the long snappers!?

[Brandon494]

Ohio St also ran a lot of shotgun, something we like to do a lot.

Too many talented dudes to have a guy like Bush on the roster. This is finally the year he goes. I also think they'll keep a 4th true safety. It might be someone we pick up UDFA or it might be Banjo, but I don't think it'll be Hyde.

Also, even though Barrington is a bit on the slow side, I give him a better shot at sticking than Thomas, and I don't feel there's much chance that Mulumba gets cut.

[Brandon494]

I've heard that the past 3 years and Bush also has experience playing safety.

[smuggler]

Yeah, but there are more young guys who can play special teams. House can do that job and even though he's far from great or even consistent, really, I much prefer House playing CB to Bush.

I've heard that the past 3 years and Bush also has experience playing safety.

Bush's experience at safety was bad enough that McCarthy all but promised, publicly, to end that experiment.

Its House I am wondering about. He seemed destined to keep Shields on the bench in one camp and then shuffle Tramon off to retirement in another. But he has not produced much in the regular season. Crabtree gave him fits in the playoffs. A draft pick under cheap contract doesn't get cut often but right now I wouldn't expect him back at the end of it.

[Brandon494]

I could see them keeping Banjo over Bush. I don't see House losing his job, no one really to push him.

I could see them keeping Banjo over Bush. I don't see House losing his job, no one really to push him.

Still the best gunner they have. Would be tough as Banjo hasn't done that on ST.

[Brandon494]

So you would keep Bush over House?

QB: Rodgers, Flynn
RB: Lacy, Starks, Harris, Franklin
FB: Kuhn
WR: Nelson, Cobb, Abbrederis, Adams, Boykin, Janis
TE: Finley, Quarless, Rodgers
T: Bulaga, Sherrod, Bahkitari, Barclay
G/C: Sitton, Lang, Tretter, Linsley, UDFA

Notes:
- Keep 9 Olinemen.
- Hyde playing both CB and S allows Bush to make the team yet another year.
- PS players include: Tolzien and Palmer
- Finley gets cleared in a few months and is almost forced to accept a one year deal with us being so late in the year.
- Perry moves to DE (where he belongs)

[pbmax]

So you would keep Bush over House?

Not unless I HAD to have Banjo due to safety injuries. Then the decision would be tough.

[Pugger]

Is Seneca coming around in rehab?

I'm rather surprised he hasn't announced his retirement.

[Guiness]

I don't like the way everyone is writing off White at WR! I think after an off-season of work, during which he is reported to have put on 10lbs, he's going to compete for a roster spot. Abbrederis is as good as gone, being a Badger and all

If they keep 5, it could look like this:

WR: Nelson, Cobb, Adams, Janis, White
