Predict the Roster

[Beerman]

I don't see any team being desperate enough to take Meachum off our hands. They need to showcase him in preseason. Plenty of teams are hurting for WR help. Not many have the amount of cap space needed.

I would go with French so she wouldn't fart as much.

I wouldn't care if she ate cloves of garlic. She doesn't talk out of her boobs.

I'll put in a good word for you as long as she doesn't eat crackers in bed tonight...

The first preseason game isn't until Thursday, and the regular season opener is not for another month after that. There are possible veteran free agent signings and likely injuries to come. Still, after watching nine practices, U-T Chargers beat writer Michael Gehlken and columnist Kevin Acee present their second attempt at predicting the team's roster. It's the same top 53 players as last week, though there are a few new guys on the watch list and some added observations based on what Acee and Gehlken have seen and heard. They will refine their projected roster each Sunday.

Quarterbacks

Philip Rivers

Charlie Whitehurst

Brad Sorensen: If he can consistently show the same potential in preseason games he has flashed in practices, he could justify keeping a third QB.

Running backs

Ryan Mathews

Danny Woodhead

Ronnie Brown

Le’Ron McClain

Offensive line

D.J. Fluker

Jeromey Clary

Nick Hardwick

Chad Rinehart

King Dunlap

Max Starks: This week crucial if he is to make a move for the starting job. Dunlap has been the superior left tackle.

Johnnie Troutman

David Molk

Steve Schilling: Working at center in addition to guard, which could boost his chances. But a ninth O-lineman on roster no sure thing.

Tight end

Antonio Gates

John Phillips

Ladarius Green

Receiver

Danario Alexander

Malcom Floyd

Vincent Brown

Keenan Allen

Eddie Royal: As he did in 2012, showing how dynamic he can be. Difference so far in '13 is he's healthy.

Robert Meachem

Defensive line

Corey Liuget

Cam Thomas

Kendall Reyes

Kwame Geathers

Jarius Wynn

Damik Scafe

Outside linebacker

Dwight Freeney

Jarret Johnson

Larry English

Tourek Williams

Thomas Keiser

Inside linebacker

Donald Butler

Manti Te’o

D.J. Smith

Bront Bird

Andrew Gachkar

Cornerback

Derek Cox

Shareece Wright

Johnny Patrick

Steve Williams

Safety

Eric Weddle

Brandon Taylor

Marcus Gilchrist: Return of Taylor (ACL) doesn't necessarily mean Gilchrist returns to corner. Has really played well.

Jahleel Addae: Rookie has missed time due to muscle strain just as team ramping up special teams installation. Impressive early but needs to get back on the field.

Darrell Stuckey

Placekicker

Nick Novak

Punter

Mike Scifres

Long snapper

Mike Windt

Fighting chance

Edwin Baker

Frank Beltre

Marcus Cromartie

Greg Gatson

Chris Gronkowski

William Middleton

Brandon Moore

Devan Walker

2nd Ed from the UT. I just can't see us going into the season with 4 CB's. That third QB is a luxury we can't afford this season. Sorenson should be able to make it to the PS.

This is probaly the stupidest thread so far on the new site.

Predict the roster having not seen practices, games, or having any inkling of what the roles are in schemes we have yet to see.
I actually blame Acee, who should know better, but having met the man, I can assure you he doesn't.

Him and The Ghelk are predicting the roster. Not you.

And we're supposed to make what of that masturbatory exercise?

And we're supposed to make what of that masturbatory exercise?

That both of them easily know more than you by watching practices.
