Is there a strong case for any of these making the 53 man squad?
WILSON
I think that Ebner is a better special teamer than any of the other safeties. I think that Chung may be almost a lock as the 3rd safety, understanding that one of the corners might play safety. So, McCourty, Harmon, Chung and a corner may be all we need to play the position. Ebner would be an emergency 5th safety in this scenario. Perhaps, we'll carry Wilson as a special teamer. I suspect that the choice will eventual be made between Butler and Wilson. Of course, by the time Game 5 comes, there will likely be room for both. In any case, 10 defensive backs is enough.
BEQUETTE
I just don't see how he makes the 53.
BOYCE
I just don't think that he can beat out LaFell or Thompkins. As long as Dobson is healthy enough to be expected to play sometime in the first few games, I see no reason for carrying Boyce. Tyms would be available as an emergency addition after Game 4, if we really need another player.
FINCH
For me, Finch would need to beat out Bolden. I don't see that happening.
There is still time, but I think the window is closing on these four.
I think the same is true with regard to Thomas, Gallon, and Swanson.
