The Final 53?

by: Michael Steffes

After putting up the roster yesterday, I have gotten some requests to already starting coding it by who I think will be on the team. Instead of doing that, I just thought I would take my stab at the who the 53 man roster would be if everybody stays healthy. This way you all can chime in and give your opinions as well.

Just.....

Quarterbacks...

The team is going to keep three, and they are all on the roster currently,
Matt Hasselbeck
Seneca Wallace
Charlie Frye

Running backs....

The team usually keeps 5. This year may be a bit a different. With all the turnover it is possible they will increase that.

Mo Morris
TJ Duckett
Julius Jones
Leonard Weaver
Owen Schmitt
Justin Forsett

Wide Receivers.....

Deion Branch (PUP)
Bobby Engram
Nate Burleson
Ben Obamanu
Cortney Taylor
Logan Payne

Tight Ends...

Carlson
Putzier
Heller

Big Nasties.....

Walter
Wahle
Spencer
Sims
Locklear
Willis
Wrotto
Gray

Total Offensive Players = 25

Defensive Tackle

Mebane
Bernard
Tubbs
Bryant
Terrill

Defensive End

Kerney
Tapp
Jackson
Atkins

Linebackers

Tatupu
Peterson
Hill
Herring
Laury
DD. Lewis
David Hawthorne?

Corners

Tru
Jennings
Wilson
Babineaux

Safeties

Grant
Russell
Adams
Wallace

Specialists

Plackimieir
Mare
Coutu
Schmitt

All of these projections are based on the average number of players at each position over the years. There are a few deviations. WR is one less, so that RB can be one more. O line sometimes has 9, but I put the extra kicker on because our special teams are so inexperienced. Mare's leg will help coverage teams, and Coutu can get his feet under him in the league. What do you think?
