This sucks. Those 4 were multiple position players. All 4 gave two of the 3 parts of our team. With those 4 lost, I couldn’t see keeping Milroe and a couple other players.

I only did 3 RB and 9 OLine. Kept 5 LB only because of depth/ST. I suspect they keep only 3 or 4 off ball but need to replace Bobo and Clark ST coverage and Paul and Suratt did that well last year and last night. I feel Cabeldue and Haynes can be call ups from PS so only 9 OLine.

As others, 4 LB and 1 FB. Brady FB and ST ace. Kallerup, AJ and Eric S BB/FB. Arroyo replaces Bobo as PT blocker but middle of field receiver.

Nick E ability to play CB meant I kept fewer CB. Only 5 with Diggs experience coming at expense of rookies. Rookies to PS and call up if Diggs sucks or another injury. Thus only 4 S due to Nick E versatility. Otoole over Ivey. That was tough one.

I decided to keep 5 tight ends and one fullback. Not sure why I did that! In any case, as much fun as this is to do, I'm guessing there will be 5 guys that aren't in camp now to be in the 53 by the end of September.

I cut QB3. A third-round draft pick didn't work out. Oh well.

Haven’t reviewed, but all 4 were solid keepers and critical usage players. Posted before. With Bobo gone, there is no Kupp replacement on the roster now. Foster can’t move up. White or White etc are not Bobo replacement blocking receivers.

Biggest take. Milroe may be an “injury” loss. In that we don’t have luxury of keeping him with so many key players hurt or out. Luckily there is a now higher chance, versus last year, that he makes it to PS. He’s not shown sufficient growth. Unless his agent convinces him to go to another team’s PS. To me it’s a one on one sit down that says “hey all preseason intention of keeping you on 53 as QB3. We still see you as future player. But these injuries mean we need this spot for the betterment of the 12 as 1. Still 70 deep here”

I think Horton and Neal start on PUP and we'll see them eventually. I could see us getting a new corner and possibly a receiver with special teams upside.

Ya know, I'm not sure it's any easier now than it was the first time!

I’ve missed most of training camp and preseason. Last night’s game was the first one I’ve seen. I don’t have a feel for who played well. These injuries will probably make it less likely we will lose players when we cut to 53. I was high on Richmond and loved his versatility as a reserve. With him not a possibility as a backup center, I think Olu is back on my 53.Stephens and Cabeldue as the backup guards. Has Kight outplayed Brown for the 2nd backup tackle? Wright looks like RB4. I think they keep 6 WRs, 3TEs plus Russell. I hate the idea of carrying 3 QBs on the roster, but it’s probably likely. I’ve had Chris Paul on my 53 since February, so I’ll stick with that. Knight looks like a shoe in as LB as well. I’ve been high on Igbinoghene as someone who gets fixed by MM. Diggs has to be on the roster, JOBE and Spoon, Neal on some injured list? Does Pritchett survive? Who takes Clark’s spot? Who is the 5th edge? Leo, Murph, Reed, Mills and ? O the D-line. You guys who’ve paid attention need to get me up to speed.

I've got Olu, Kight, Jones, Haynes and Brown making the cut, figuring Jones or Sundell will move over if needed at guard. Henderson and Foster are WR's 5&6. I included Kallerup as TE4, with only Russell at FB. I have Pili as a 5th DL, so I didn't have room for Paul at LB. I think Neal and Pritchett both make it, and Bell is S4. Obviously it's a work in progress.

Haven’t looked yet but no Paul? What about Suratt?

Nope. EJIV, Thomas, Knight and O'Connell at LB. I know a lot of folks ware going with extra bodies on Defense. I went heavier on Offense (RB4, WR6, TE4, OL10) with the hopes of striking gold on that side of the ball. And yes, I put Milroe on the 53.

These results should help fill in the blanks!

Dear Elijah,

All balls are Catchable Balls.

Arroyo should be able to fill in for Bobo. Make it so!

Thanks for sharing!

Right off the bat, I see a roster that only has 7 offensive linemen. Nah!

rpmschevy's avatar

Someone listed only 7? 9 is considered light.

FYI Patriots trade to Texans. As noted many times, it’s not always the rough 90 that make the 53. Guys elsewhere, cut or trade, come in. Harris who visited us just signed with Giants and just a few weeks ago most felt the Skattebro and Tracy were considered solid.
