MrOaktown_56 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 After rewatching this game, I'll be upset if Calhoun doesn't make the team. It looks like he's turning the corner. He's stil under contract for 2 more years for cheap. He looks like a better/more effective edge guy than Cowser. I think he could do something this year. We'll see on key, he's still coming off the ankle and needs time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor do I think we will. Most likely 8 given that Feliciano will likely be the backup for all the interior spots. Parker has the draft pedigree this year so he makes it. Then Sharpe is probably next in line. However, given that Parker has been injured periodically, it's possible they can find a way to get him on IR. Store him for a year and give him a redshirt year to work on technique and get in the weight room. After that, unfortunately, I'd say Silberman has an edge given that he can play almost every position on the line. Albeit not well. Will definitely look at the FA market after cuts.

We'll see on key, he's still coming off the ankle and needs time. He looked like a man against boys against the Rams.. he will be picked up fast if cut. Final cuts are going to be interesting. Especially since its a cut down to 53 in one day now.. September 1st is a day to mark on your calender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't rewatched the games but our backup offensive line has been lights out. Big holes for Warren, and time for Manuel and Cook. I think we keep 10 due to Penn age and coming off major injury, and Kolton and Parker both raw rookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rest Lynch(rest his legs because of age), and insert Warren and Martin with our starters. and see how they fare against another number 1 defense...

I liked him coming out of MSU. It's good to see him finding his way. He's noticeably bigger and playing a true DE spot. Really hope he continues to excel and grow. Coaching staff has been a revelation compared to what we've seen. Finally seeing some growth with players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice no mention of Harris once the games started to count Umm started to count? It's preseason. Regardless of all the starter hype Harris got early on, I think he makes the team based on ST. He was one of our best return coverage guys last year. That utility is what is important for the back of the roster guys ie Cowser, Hamilton, Luani and Holton. 41 minutes ago, Humble_Beast said: I haven't rewatched the games but our backup offensive line has been lights out.

I'm not sure how slightly less raw players like Ware and Sharpe make up for Miller and Parker's rawness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say Penn gets hurt for 3rd year in a row, we would be down to 7ol and desperate to sign guys off the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the games don't start counting until September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Erik Harris 5 tackles in 2017 makes him a roster lock. I wouldn't lose sleep either way. Luani had the hit of the week against LA.

StocktonSav Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 For the heck of it, my guess: QB: Carr, Manuel, Cook RB: Lynch, Martin, Richard, Warren FB: Smith TE: Cook, Smith, Carrier WR: Cooper, Nelson, Bryant, Whalen, Switzer, Ateman OL: Penn, Miller, Parker, Sharpe, Osemele, Jackson, Feliciano, Hudson DE: Irvin, Carradine, Key, Calhoun DT: Edwards, Ellis, Hall, Hurst LB: Whitehead, Lee, Johnson, Morrow, Lamur, Wilbur, Cowser* CB: Melvin, Conley, Worley, Nelson, Hall, Hamilton S: Joseph, Gilchrist, Nelson, Harris K: Piniero, P: Townsend, LS: DePaola *Cowser would be my cut candidate when Mack returns PS candidates: WR Blacknall, WR Whitney, TE Butler, OL Simmons, OT Ware, DE Brown, LB Victor, DB Mitchell, S Luani IR: Melifonwu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only change would be adding an OL Silberman (versatile) probably for Wilber/Cowser. Picking up OL off the street is really difficult and going with only 8 OL especially with 2 rookie OTs is too much of a risk. Holton is good on STs so could make the team over Ateman.
