You are pegging a complete overhaul. I don't see that much change in the line...

Brown, Pitts, Myers, Weary, Winston

PK-What about Abbate (sp?) He was one of the out of nowhere stars at training camp before the Texans hid him on injured reserve. I could see Cook getting the ax...I pretty much agree with you on this. Moffit and Nading might be destined for the practice squad though. I think there's a chance that Spencer ends up the starter at RG at some point.

Salaam, Pitts, Myers, Weary, Winston.

Back-ups, Brown, Spencer, Briesel, and Frye

Abbate has already been cut once this off season, and then resigned. So I have him as a bubble guy. I thought he looked good in last years camp, he showed real good hands. Would love to see him replace Cook.

Moffit I see making the team, but could see Nading sliding to the practice squad.

I know LB's are usually special team contributors, but on your list you have 7 LB's listed. I thought we carried 6 last year, and with one spot apparently already going to a 3rd QB I just don't know if they will want that many back-ups on a 4-3 team. Moffit seems like a special team candidate unless he plays well enough to make the staff feel like Bentley, Thompson, or Diles is expendable I think he gets caught in a numbers game. I don't see them ready to cut ties with Greenwood yet. If it works out like I think Adibi takes over next year at the WLB, making Greenwood expendable.


With Dunta pup'd I think your still stuck with Faggins or someone else until D-Rob comes back.

I am trying to look at things from a different angle. Most team will not make wholesale changes and the line you offered maybe closer to the actual line.

I for one have questioned Pitts, he has mental errors at the wrong time. From what I understand, Gibbs will all but murder Pitts for the kind of mistakes. So that is why the look at Frye.

Weary is no what I see as the prototypical Gibbs type blocker. I am open to being wrong here because I like Fred. (I also like Chester, he seems to be a very good guy).

I think the only known starter is Winston. Myers most likely starts, but he could be moved to RG, with a super showing from Eslinger, IMO.

Which OL do want to see? I would love to Spencer starting at one of the positions, don't see him as a Gibbs guys, but I want to see the hard work rewarded. The young man has been through alot and has not given up, that is a good story.

Where in the heck did this perception about Weary come from? I'm starting to see it more and more from the pimp the back up crowd here in our little internet fan base. Fred has great feet and is real athletic for a big man. Weary is barely 300 pounds if trust the listings at the dotcom.

I guess I have always perceived Fred as a mauler type, and Chester has been considered the quick footed able to be pulled guy. Not used to seeing Fred pulling near as much.

And as I said, I hope my perception is wrong. I admit I spend little time watching Fred, more time watching the tackles, and the ball.
