Roster (Cuts and Trades to Initial 53)

[Boltjolt]

QB * Philip Rivers, Tyrod Taylor * don't see any good reason to keep more than two for now.... both Jones/Easton to ps ??
RB * Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson, Jeremy Cox * think Derek Watt might be a casualty here, and.... they'll be looking to add someone here as well.... (MG week 10)
WR * Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Travis Benjamin, Dontrelle Inman, Andre Patton * Davis/Scott both to ps ??
TE * Hunter Henry, Virgil Green, Sean Culkin * don't think AG's gonna make it back this time 'round
OT * Trent Scott, Sam Tevi * they've got Schofield and Lamp that can swing here 'til Russell makes his return (mid October/week 6 ?)
OG * Forrest Lamp, Michael Schofield, Dan Feeney, Scott Quessenberry * Larry Allen makes the ps ??
OC * Michael Pouncey * voting for picking up IOL Tony Allen here if unsuccessful in his bid to make the Dolphins' roster

NT * Brandon Mebane, Justin Jones
UT * Damion Square, Jerry Tillery, Cortez Broughton
DE * Joey Bosa, Isaac Rochell
LEO * Melvin Ingram, Anthony Lanier * Chris Peace to ps ??
OTTO * Uchenna Nwosu, Egbule Emeke
MIKE * Denzel Perryman, Nick Dzubnar * Dru Tranquill/Kyle Wilson to ps ??
WILL * Thomas Davis, Kyzir White, Jatavis Brown
SS * Rayshawn Jenkins, Adrian Phillips, Adarius Pickett
FS * Jaylen Watkins, Nasir Adderley * can DK spell FS if and when need be ??
CB * Casey Hayward, Desmond King, Michael Davis, Trevor Williams, Brandon Facyson * Kemon Hall/Bradford Lemmons to ps ??

K * Michael Badgley
P * Ty Long
LS * Cole Mazza

If DZub makes this team, we have problems at LB lol. Think he is cut because he just isnt good as a LB and we have others who have stepped up for STs. Tranquill will make it. Dont see Cox making the team either. Newsome or Pope make it over him.
Agree i dont see keeping Stick on the active roster and dont think he wil get poached. Why would he? He hasnt been good and if a PS player gets poached they have to be on the active roster all year of the team that takes them unless that has changed. Got two games to go in preseason but Stick getting outplayed by Cardale friggin Jones.

Got to hope and believe we make a trade or pickup for a OT before the start of the season. Schofield isnt a good option at RT....even for a swing.

No way in hell Dzub makes it over Tranquill, that isn't a remote possibility outside of a season ending injury. And I'll bet any amount of money you want on that one. Rayshawn is the starting FS until Adderly unseats him, meaning AP is our starting SS. And there's a good chance that Kyzir starts at Mike over Perryman. Williams is on thin ice if he can't get healthy, Springs could find a way in there if he can't. I also can't see any possible way that Picket would get a spot over Teamer. And Egbule is a huge question mark as well, as he has yet to do anything to stand out.

-With Lynn committed to running, not sure we won't carry a FB in Derek Watt.
-Pope or Cox though? Pope is winning that battle.

[beachcomber]

49 out of 53?

after this game think you have to add (back) Artavis, Easton, Troymaine and Tranquill, and prolly give Kyle Wilson the nod over Dzub ?? (Chris Peace ?)

[Tol]

Post PS Game #3 53 Man Prediction

Offense (24 total)

QB: Rivers, Taylor, Stick (3) If it was up to me, trade Taylor for OL depth. I'm fine with Stick backing up Ironman.

RB/FB: Ekeler, Jackson, Watt, Pope (4) Pope has shown me enough now to beat out Newsome.

WR: Allen, Williams, Benjamin, Scott, Patton, Inman (6) I'd be happy with 5 WR, but Inman will make it 6.

TE: Henry, Culkin, Green (3) I'd bring Gates back over Green. Maybe Green is a better blocker, but I'm a Gates homer.

OL: Scott, Feeney, Pouncey, Lamp, Tevi, Quessenberry, Pipkins, Schofield (8) I'd keep T Drango over G Schof, but don't think Bolts will.

NFI: Okung
DNR: Gordon



Defense (26 total)

DT: Mebane, Jones, Tillery, Broughton, Square (5) Square over McGill to backup Mebane at NT.

DE: Bosa, Ingram, Rochell, Lanier, Peace (5) Lanier and Peace have shown more than Afriyie so far.

OLB: Davis, Nwosu, White, Egbule, Brown (5) Brown could be a surprise cut, think he stays for now.

ILB: Perryman, Tranquill, (2) If Brown were cut, then maybe keep Wilson. No room for ST Dzubnar.

CB: Hayward, King, Davis, Facyson, Williams (5) Out: Richards, Springs

FS/SS: Jenkins, Phillips, Adderley, Pickett (4) Pickett is the only depth chart backup for AP. Just no room for Watkins or Teamer.

IR: James


ST: Badgley, Long, Mazza (3)

* I'm sure we will keep Square and that probably keeps Peace off the 53 as Nwosu gets those extra snaps.

** LB CORPS is position flexible / Brown & Egbule are on the bubble

*** Trevor Williams is a serious injury cut candidate

**** Russell's projected return plays a role in this decision in the end. A vet cut could easily be signed as a swing tackle.

[Formula 21]

Best to proceed as if Okung isn't coming back. IMO.

[Big Dog]

Question -

Does Okung take up a roster spot ?

I'm thinking NO because he is on the PUP Non-football injury list

Does James take up a roster spot ?

I'm thinking NO because he will be put on the INjured Reserve list eligible to return.

Does Melvin Gordon take up a roster spot ?

I'm thinking YES, he is under contract and not injured but maybe there is a DNR - did not report list.

anybody know for certain?

Yeah they aren't going to trade Tyrod. Stick was playing against 3rd stringers and bubble players.
Green is A LOT better blocker than Gates.
Think Watkins will stick over Pickett.
Facyson hasn't shown much imo. Can use a addition during cuts from other teams.

Id say that is pretty darn close though i cant imagine Inman not making the team with them picking him up so late. Im thinking Geremy Davis is a casualty. He just hasnt shown shit.
