I think that's Dave's way of saying "are you f@#king kidding me" Like the time he got the Ohio State sweater vest for Christmas.

i will agree with that...also, i think Mills will be a FB

I forgot about Seau. Scratch Rogers and put him in. And I still have a feeling Brown will retire.

I'd rather try to ascertain the rebuilt PS. Gutierez QB; Oldenburg T, Hilliard T/G, Elgin C; Rogers OLB/DE; Lua ILB; Kight WR; Malone P.

Three new students for Dante; a third emergency QB; the obligatory DE/OLB conversion candidate; a spare ILB candidate; a WR; and a Punter backup for octogenarian Josh Miller.

Would it be too crazy to suggest that Troy Brown could be our #3 QB?

Give me a min and I'll do mine, just wanted to get it up before I forgot.

Serious, serious competition for the final roster spots. Anyone near the bottom of the depth pile better hope they can kick some butt on special teams or they are as good as gone.

These players are fighting for the final spots, I won't be surprised to see any of them cut loose. We will be cutting some good players (call them future Jets):
WR - Caldwell, Gaffney, Washington, Brown, Childress, Kight
OL - O'Callaghan, Yates, Kaczur, Oldenburg, Hilliard, Elgin
RB\FB - Hairston, Mills
TE - everyone except Brady, Watson and Thomas
DL - Wright, Thomas, Hill, Brown
LB - Woods, Mays, Rogers, Lua, Izzo
CB - James, Scott, Richardson, Spann
S - Mitchell, Andrews, Hawkins
P - Miller, Malone, the other guy

[Fencer]

Toughest omissions in italics. Some of those guys should make it due to injury or other disappointments ahead of them.

24 on offense, 26 on defense.
