We are less than 10 days until the cut to 53 players and another 10 days until we have our beginning 2010 roster (after final signing of vets from other teams).
========================================
THE FINAL THREE ROSTER SPOTS
I think 50 players will win roster spots at the various positions, wlthough we don't really "need" 4 ILB's or 4 safeties or 5 corners. These players give us fine depth.
The "final" roster spots are usually special teamers, although a 10th OL or 5th RB or 7th DL or a utility player are certainly options. Candidates include ARRINGTON, AIKEN, WOODS, Lockett, Alexander, Williams, Bussey, Wendell, Brown, Fletcher, Deaderick, Larsen and Welch. 10 of these are likely to be cut. Several will be on our Practice Squad. At least one player is likey to come from another team, certainly before September 19th (Game 2).
===================================================
THREE ROSTER POSITIONS OPEN AT BACKUP OFFENSIVE LINE
There are four positions and the field is still wide open. LeVoir seems to have the Game Day backup OT spot. Ohrnberger and Wendell seem the best candidates for the backup interior line positions; both play all the positions and know Dante's system. Ojinnatta and Bussey seem to be battling for the last position.
=========================================
LEWIS AND DEADERICK
I still have Lewis winning the #6 DL roster spot, with Deaderick on the PS.
=================================
WHEATLEY AND WILHITE
I see absolutely no reason to cut either of them. We could have the best #5 corner in the league.
==========================================
LINEBACKER
I think that we are all set, with Woods forced to win a special teams spot to stay on the roster. The good news for Woods is that he is one of our top special teamers.
============================================
ROSTER STRUCTURE
OFFENSE (23)
QB 2
RB 4 (we have four solid, healthy, experienced running backs)
WR 5 (we can afford to keep Price as a developmental player with Hernandez on the 53)
TE 3
OL 9 (4 OT, 3 OG, 1 C, 1 OG/C)
DEFENSE (24)
DL 6
OLB 5 (Nino and Murrell edge out Woods)
ILB 4
CB 5 (Arrington is not close to being one of our best 5 corners)
S 4
THE FINAL SPOTS (3)
ST 3 (My choices are Arrington, Woods and Aiken)
