Pre-Camp Roster

[mgteich]

I think that you are missing an OL if you want 9. I had Larsen as the 8th OL. You have a 52-man squad

GREEN-ELLIS over Taylor

I have 6 areas we disagree on. Cut Aikens - McCourty is a ST demon and along with Arrington provide great outside gunners. Keep BJGE and cut Taylor because of the age difference and the fact that Taylor doesn't play ST and BJGE does. Keep Larsen as the 9th OL. Keep Pryor over Lewis (age) and the 2nd year is the biggest jump in learning. Brace could be in trouble here too! Keep either Williams or Murrell as ST LB. A LB is different than WR in ST's. I like having a LB back as the punt protector. Keep both Arrington (my binky) and Wheatlley. BB just likes having extra DB's and LBs.

I ike your last change in adding 1 ST regardless of position (ie Larry Izzo).

You are correct - you had Larsen in small letters and I incorrectly thought you had cut him Add Ohrnberger as the 9th OL

I have particular problem with your roster. I guess i would think that Aiken would be more valuable than Murrell or Williams, but it makes sense that Belichick signed Murrell with the idea of replacing Aiken.

Williams has played a number of positions so far in camp (ILB, FB, Protector on Punt Team). Aiken is a very good ST player and was a captain last year. With the development of the young WR's, is Holt in trouble, opening a spot for Aiken?

I think this is going to be a very accurate list.

From what I remember at training camp, they are trying out Chung as personal protector (Aiken's old position). So if they are grooming Chung for that position, Aiken is gone.

Slater is pretty much gone in my opinion.. he has been working at WR and has done very little work in ST.. nothing of significance other than being lead block on one rep.

However, I think Wheatley is gone. Wilhite is only safe because he covers the slot.

DL: Brace to PUP or IR; I think Lewis will be on the team, plus one more DL.

Probably 5 RB because someone will get hurt.

Still on the bubble re: Holt.
