I was bored so I thought I would predict my final 53. When picking this team, I assumed that all of these players make it through the final two games healthy and Matt Roth eventually gets placed on the PUP.

Under these assumptions, give your opinion as to what adjustments you would make. Please do it in a drop/add format and then explain your reasoning. Have fun.

I think we keep 5 WRs and an additional NT: Tony McDaniel.

I also think we keep one more LB (J.D.Folsom) and one less DE:

Pretty good predictions. IMO Londonmakes this team. Either that or he is trade bait.

Drop London (we only keep 5 wr's)

Add Charlie Anderson

Drop Nalbone Add Joey Haynos (practice squad for Nalbone)

I mean come on Haynos 6'8. He best goal line option we got!

Excellent lists. Agree, I think we keep London and only 7 LBs.

Good lists, can't add much that hasn't been said. Good job.

GOOD LIST COMPLETELY DISSAGREE

A couple of notes:

1.Paul soliai is much slimmer and playing well. He played well against carolina....

2.Hopefully John Denney does not messed up ever again like he did last year. Thankfully that did not cost us the game but...............It can very well cost us a game in the future. I think he is reliable enough not to have a mental lapse once again. Noticed they worked out JT in his spot just in case!!!!!

Says the miopic mister magoo. Read before you click the post message sign!

LOL just had to rattle the cage some, in fact i realy like the list, but disagree about London.

So far I have been wrong with Brandon Frye and Joey Thomas.

I was right about London and Haynos, but I also missed on Joey Thomas.

the release of Frye tells me that we will sign a released OL player soon.

I dont think we will sign any o-lineman unless somone gets hurt. I believe that our D-line, and linebacker core is where the money is this year.

I think we are stashing Nalbone on the 53 man roster until other teams fill out their practice squad so we have a better chance of putting him on ours. He really hasn't done much to earn a roster spot yet.

It will be done after we see who drops on waivers to #25 for an O-lineman.

Right now we have...

LT: Long, Gardner
LG: Smiley
C: Grove, Berger
RG: Thomas, Murphy
RT: Carey

Berger can play G and Murphy is working at C. We could use a guy who can play G and T.

Just my opinion.
