Default Are you happy with the roster as it is today?

Assumed injuries aside, are you happy with roster?

Vote and state your reasons.

I like it, personally, though I think we're down to four RB's before too long into the season, either sending a player to IR or dropping whoever shakes into the #5 slot in favour of another position.

I think LB will be stronger than it feels right now. Guyton, Ninkovich and Woods could be big-time gamers in the situations they hold this year.

I voted pretty good.... You gotta love our starters in general.

I see a couple of tweaks coming.....

A buckup QB and another solid Tackle would seal the deal for me...

Pretty good. I do have this nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach about the LB corps this year. It's not nearly as bad as the one I had about the secondary last year, but it's there nevertheless. If there's going to be one weak point on our defense, I believe that's it.

That said, our roster from top to bottom is looking pretty tip top.

I am very satisfied with the roster.

Obviously, Brady's health is the #1 priority right now. if he's healthy, we are going places.

with regards to everyone else, we have gotten younger and faster on defense. Butler and Chung struggled during the pre-season, but they probably wont see much action for the first 6-10 weeks of the season, if at all. Hopefully, they will learn from the veterans throughout the year and improve their games. Brace looks like he will be valuable also. Im interested to see how pryor plays. i feel if we play in the 4-3 he will have a great opportunity to be a key contributor on the team. if we play 3-4, i dont know if i see him playing that much.

Also, I really hope Bodden and Wilhite have great seasons. they may be the key to our team. if they can be solid playmakers we can be great as a team

I love the addition of Burgess as well. Hopefully he will significantly upgrade our pass rush. going to be interesting to see what Defense we play for the majority of plays.

I don't like the backup QB situation. That alone is enough for me to say that I'm not happy with this roster as it is today.

But I don't think any of the four voting options really fit my take on the squad.

Somewhere between amazing and pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of going into the season with 2 QBs and 3 OTs (and I doubt that we will), but other than that I think we're in awfully good shape.

With another reserve ILB and QB, I don't think this roster has any major weaknesses, especially if we are predominantly a 4-3.
