It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Sorry if already posted but any thoughts as to who gets bumped from the 53? I think its going to be someone like Mel Mitchel (?sp?). He is awesome on ST but his age is not his friend.
How about Rashad Baker. I don't see Brown getting cut now that Mays is gone. Mitchell is one of our special teams leaders and is here to stay. Cutting Baker probably makes the most sense.
It will most likely be Baker NOT Eckel...the only way Eckel goes is if Maroney's groin is fully healed...I think that will take a few weeks, so they'll need him for insurance. With Mays gone, CBrown will stay to give some depth to the linebackers.My money is on Eckel. With our past injuries in the secondary we need to keep 20-25 DBs at all times.
Something I just thought of is the versatility of Chad Brown, he can play ILB or OLB and be just as ineffective at either position. In some of these blow out games I would like to see Woods, Alexander and Brown get more snaps (but for the love of man, no Larry Izzo!). Something tells me that we will need these guys to step up at key points during the season.
Harrison can play an OLB in some nickel formations.
calibur
its kinda ridiculous that we have 4 starting calibur safeties IMO...Sanders, Wilson, Harrison , Merriweather could all start for us this year and i would be comfortable...i liked what i saw from merriweather last week
I think that Moss guy will be the one cut, he's dead weight anyway.Sorry if already posted but any thoughts as to who gets bumped from the 53? I think its going to be someone like Mel Mitchel (?sp?). He is awesome on ST but his age is not his friend.
S. Thomas and Eckel are obvious candidates, depending on the health ahead of them.

I forgot about Baker.
OK. DBs are:
CB Samuel, Hobbs, Gay, (Troy Brown)
S Harrison, Wilson, Sanders, Meriweather, Baker
Special teams S Mitchell
Am I forgetting anybody? Unless I am, keeping Baker doesn't really seem like excess depth.
