This looks pretty close to how it may pan out. His comments about Wesley Johnson are puzzling tho. Mike Adams has been here a few years with little to no improvement. I think the 3rd TE is still up for grabs, that is if Blanchflower can get some playing time. I'm not sold on Justin Brown yet.

I think it's way off the mark.

The rationale for keeping Palmer over the rest doesn't seem to make any sense. I can live with picking Palmer but there isn't an explanation, despite him saying there is a reason.

Stubbornly still having Nick Williams making the 53. He played six snaps last week. Keeping 7 DEs are a little heavy, too.

The decision to cut both Chris Carter and Howard Jones while adding So'oto on there is curious. And never explained. He just talks about the need to long snap, as if Greg Warren will be out 12 weeks. Or that they haven't signed a guy in Luke Ingram.

He claims Antwon Blake is on the bubble. He's not. Just flat out wrong.

Dangerfield over Will Allen without making any mention as to why.

Give him hell, Chidi! :chuckle: Would be interesting to see some roster picks from the forum.

at the very minimum 5 jobs yet to be determined , some blunders and some good play could change several spots yet not to mention " injuries" ....

I have my " final 53" so to speak but its just to soon to carve it in stone or put in print for me

as a side note ...

I am not sure our opening day punter is on the current roster

Agreed Dwins. Could be the same situation as last year.

The guy we currently have makes me nervous. It may have been in part the long snapper, but he seemed to be just getting the punts off in the nick of time.

I had Browning making the team until his injury.
