EDIT: Two Observations...

1) This team is deep. Depth with actual experienced NFL talent. Like I said, I really only have two guys that I don't know much about. From a fans perspective; that's a pretty small number when looking at the entire 53 man roster.

2) Calling it a 53 man roster -- especially if you are doing as a depth chart -- is a total misnomer. I say that because guys like Hightower, Edelman, and Cannon can play multiple positions; creating depth in multiple roles. For example, in reality, Edelman is just as much the 6th CB as the 6th WR. That's big. And it isn't one position or the other; it's both. So this NE team really has, like, a 56 man roster because of the versatility.

Pryor starts on the PUP for me with this team, loaded up on receivers & RB's which gives McDaniels & Brady more weapons to use.

Now with no Fanene and no Dane Fletcher I think Koutouvides and Tarpinian sneak on. Tough cuts were Koppen, Stallworth, Ebert (I hope he can stick around on the practice squad, maybe we should stop playing him), and Jermaine Cunningham (last one not that tough). Wouldn't be surprised if Waters and/or Gerard Warren go to the shadow roster with Kevin Faulk.

D has alot of interchangeable pieces!
Tackle needs to be added-from cutdowns(or matt light has to be kidnapped and forced to play)

PUP: Myron Pryor
IR: Dane Fletcher, Jake Ballard

Hard cuts: Tracy White, Jermaine Cunningham
Shadow roster: Gerard Warren and Stallworth

Decisions:
Branch beats Stallworth due to chemistry and seniority.
Cole beats out Moore for 5th CB spot.
Koutouvides and Carpenter beat out White and Tarpinian for ST/LB. Played better IMO.
Fells beats Shiancoe due to more upside.
Bolden and Demps pushes out Kettani and Larsen due to potential

Would like to fit in Shiancoe since it seems we could use depth for passcatching TE if Gronknandez goes down but cant fit it. Seems They keep Dennard because of the potential and then ST:ers I cant really pick which one has perfomed the most.
