Project the Depth

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.

Opening day - barring injuries starting 5:

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 was not trying to figure out a final roster to the man. I think I have to many OL and LBs, but not as many DBs as we carried last year.

Anyone heard anything about Charles Spencer's health? Is he ever going to be able to play again?

They have Kubiak saying on a video from the lunchen that Spencer is doing great and should be back with the team by June 1. He is currently doing running and drills with the training staff, along with Dunta and Chris White.

[Number19]

I'm interested in his weight and his muscle tone/strength. He was light on his feet prior to his injury, but if he's lost a little weight, as was reported a few months back, this will make him quicker and an even better fit for Gibb's system.

Thanks for the info. That's great news! (to me at least)
