Projected Roster after Preseason Game 1

[Family]

All rosters are similar except for a few spots.

I question Dwayne Allen as a lock. Can Ryan Izzo block well enough? It says so here.

JMac played some safety and even some OLB with Cleveland last year so I think he can do it here as well. I believe he is a better option than Richards or Pleasant.

Didnt know JMac did that. I think the main issue here remains the 300 missing snaps (all four units for Richards and Pleasant) on ST because JMac doesn't seem to be a ST contributer.

Does anyone remember the name of that web page from which we can click & drag our roster predictions? Haven't seen it used here this season.

Edit: Ignore the link title, it has this current year's roster.

I'm fine with the OFFENSE, defensive front six, and with those that you list as safeties.

The last three defensive back spots are very much up in the air. BTW, listing Dawson as a safety doesn't make Belichick any less likely to choose Richards, one of his favorite special teamers.

I have McCourty instead of Lewis, with Jackson, J Jones and Richards all competing for the last 2 DB/ST roster spots.

Here's my guess as of the end of the 1st pre-season game:

So no chance cyrus jones makes the squad?

He has a shot. PR is still as wide open as it could be and there is always space for competent CBs on the roster. But keep in mind he is coming back from an ACL.. will be pretty tough..

Correct...but hey, he's still better than Glitch.
