I'm fine with 51.

I have a 3rd TE (Shaugnessey) and a DE (Grissom) instead of Langi and DT Butler.

IMHO, not have a 3rd TE cripples the offense when Gronk is isn't available.

Except for one player - DT Adam Butler - this is how I think that Bill (not necessarily myself) would also prefer to start the season. A 9th OLman or, more likely, a 3rd TE instead of Butler seems a more sure thing.

Switch Grissom for Butler and that sounds about right to me.

Think with Ninko gone we need more speed at the line than beef. Plus Geneo plays STs which is always a plus. Butler in for Ealy may happen though.

Still think Matt Lengel will end up making the roster as the third TE, with a surprise cut somewhere.
