Feel free to point out errors or suggestions

Well done Dan! Maybe we can keep this depth chart all year somehwere and tweak it throughout the season.

People seem to be pointing out some good stuff in this thread. I think it was Shep saying Barton might not make the team and I think he's right. I also liked that Shep remembered Bowens upgrading our ILBer position last year. I thought I heard Mangini recently referring to Bowens as an OLBer again so I'm seeing him as more of a backup as an OLBer. He'll play quite a bit but I didn't start thinking he was wonderful until he went inside. One guy that really impressed me as an undrafted FA last year was Marcus Benard. I'm looking forward to seeing him 1 year wiser and 1 step faster from the experience. Hard to believe LBer was thin and weak last year at this time.

I noticed some of the RFAs who haven't signed their tenders aren't on there but some are.

A quick look, Vickers isn't but Harrison and DQJ are. I'm sure there are more. Maybe they all shold be put on and put an * by their names.

[grimmreaper3]

Our defense could be very good.

The question, of course, becomes whether we can win with the triple option.

I'd say yes.

what happened to madman vickers? He starts at FB no doubt

FIXED, thanks for catching that! I had Vickers in there (at the #1 spot) and I had to re-do the chart, do to technical issues, and he got away.

Happy to modify/add/delete.

I agree about Barton. I heard his neck injury might be that bad that he has to retire. And by heard I mean prolly read it here or pft

I also think that Rubin will start at nose and Rogers will take and end spot

I would like the Hybrid 3/4. Rex is pretty smart on D I think. We should see some interesting formations this year. Every body seems pretty versatile. On O and D.

The Mid-West Coast Offense and the Dawg Pound from Hell!

Thanks by the way Dan for putting this together

I have to ask why you think Cribbs is a starting WR....?

Solon, who do you have as the other starting wide receiver? Nothing thrilling there. Is Robo ready/improved?

Cribbs has already shown that he can't be a starting WR. Robo has yet to prove that. I think that our 3 WR set will be MoMass, Robo and Stuckey, with Stuckey in the Slot. I also think that the two starters will be MoMass and Stuckey, at least in the beginning.

Just went through and counted who I figured would make the roster, counted 55 so two have to be cut. I counted 3 RBs (Hardesty, Harrison, Davis) and two FBs (Hillis, Vickers). I think of the ones I counted, the ones with the most likely chance to be cut are Schaefring and Elam.

1. Delhomme
2. Wallace
3. McCoy

4. Harrison
5. Hardesty
6. Davis

7. Vickers
8. Hillis (H-Back)

9. Thomas
10. Steinbach
11. Mack
12. Womack
13. Pashos
14. Capizzi
15. Ghiucac
16. Lauvao
17. St. Clair

18. Watson
19. Moore
20. Royal (Gaines???)

21. Massaquoi
22. Robiskie
23. Stuckey
24. Cribbs
25. Mitchell

26. Rogers
27. Rubin
28. R. Smith
29. Coleman
30. Mosley
31. Geathers

32. Gocong
33. Jackson
34. Fujita
35. Roth
36. Benard
37. Bowens
38. Barton
39. Trusnik
40. Maiava
41. Veikune

42. Wright
43. Brown
44. Haden
45. Ward
46. Elam
47. Adams
48. Asante
49. McDonald

50. Pontbriand
51. Dawson
52. Zastudil

There, I got it down to 52. I think the last spot is between Sorensen, Costanzo, Titus Brown, Brian Schaefring, Francies, and Steptoe.

That is MY roster, I'd probably throw Costanzo in as 53 due to his ST, and I know mine isn't right because Mangini will sub a few of those guys out for STers. Costanzo, Sorensen will most likely make the team as STers somehow.
