OFFENSE (25)
I think that we need all of the following
QB 3
RB 5 (have we learned yet that RB is a punishing position?)
WR 5 (not 6)
TE 3
C 2
OG 3
OT 4
----------------------------------------
DEFENSE (22)
This is all that we need to play defense. For LB and DL, only 5 get almost all the reps.
DL 7
OLB 4 (at least one must be able to play inside)
ILB 3
CB 4 (the dime back, or even backup nickel is sometimes a safety)
S 4
------------------------------------------
SPECIALISTS (3)
Kicker, punter and deep snapper
-------------------------------------------
DEFENSIVE SPECIAL TEAMS OR DEVELOPMENTAL PLAYERS (3)
Recently, these positions have been filled by linebackers and safeties. However, they theoretically could be at any position.
