QB (3): Brady, Cassel, O'Connell
RB/FB (5): Maroney, Faulk, Morris, Evans, Jordan
WR (6): Moss, Welker, Gaffney, Jackson, Washington, Slater
TE (2): Watson, Thomas
OT (5): Light, Kaczur, Britt, O'Callaghan, Welbourn
OG/C (5): Koppen, Mankins, Hochstein, Yates, Flynn

DL (6): Seymour, Wilfork, Warren, Green, Wright, LSmith
OLB (4): Vrabel, A. Thomas, Crable, Woods
ILB (5): Bruschi, Mayo, Guyton, Izzo, Hobson
CB (4): Hobbs, Bryant, Wheatley, LSanders
S (5): Harrison, J. Sanders, Meriweather, Lynch, Spann
ST (3): Gostkowski, Hanson, Paxton


PUP (2): Neal, Ross
PS (8): Gutz, Ventrone, Stupar, Green-Ellis, Dillard, Wilhite, Redd, Adams
Cut (17): Alexander, Aiken, Connolly, DeVree(26th), Eckel, Fifita, Martin(26th), Sene(26th), Shoate(26th), KSmith, Spach, SThomas, JWebster, Wendell(26th), CJJones, Ruud, Richardson
IR: Williams, Clement, Stokes

Tough choices:
Hobson vs Alexander. In the end it came to Hobson's ability to play inside and out with lack of depth at the LB spot or else I would cut both.

Dillard vs Wilhite vs Richardson for 2 PS spots. Richardson is gone. Dillard has been playing better and Wilhite has more potential. Richardson goes into the shadows.

JWebster vs LSanders. Webster just hasn't been able to stay on the field.

SThomas and Fifta are tough cuts. Both have been solid contributors.

We're not getting Wilhite on the PS. Cut him if you like - but you'll lose him. Despite the injuries at OL I thnk we can cut one of Yates, Flynn or Welbourn from your list and keep Wilhite. Has O'Callaghan practiced ? If not he could be PUPed.

Yes, O'Callaghan has practiced.

As I was sitting through a boring all day seminar today, that 53 is close to the one I wrote down. I'm glad that you kept Guyton. I'd like to see them keep Redd.

Somehow I'd like to add Wilhite, Redd and Seau to the roster.

How ?

I would cut one of the marginal OL. I'd cut Evans although I like him. And I'd cut Hobson.

He would have to clear waivers to get on the PS, so if any of those 3 don't clear then someone else wins a job. I just can't see keeping Wilhite over one of our 9 year veterans FA pickups.

IMO, I have trouble seeing how we keep both Morris and Jordan. Unfortunately, one of those guys go. They are different types of RB's but essentially on the roster are doing the same thing - coming to spell Maroney off and share some carries. The depth that both provide is enormous but they are doing the same thing on the roster. One of them would probably be a game day inactive as well every week.

I would take Seau over Hobson in a heartbeat.

I agree, probably dependent on whoever is closer to 100% or what team they are playing. If there was a formidable 3rd TE, I would cut one of them.

After the game last night, there are some new battles!

Gutz looked good enough to take the #2 job last night, but I'd like to see him in one more meaningless game.

CJ Jones is in direct competition with Jackson. They both should be on the team, but there's not enough room to keep both.

Slater was playing safety last night and looked decent and with Slater possibly taking a safety spot it gets complex. I see Slater vs Spann vs Cjax vs CJJones for 3 roster spots. Not sure who gets cut there.
