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)

Week 1:

QB - Schaub, Rosenfels, Gray
RB - Brown, Green, Slaton, Taylor (The more I look at this, the more I think Roy might be right about Green getting cut. I think that if we keep him and Brown we almost have to go 4 RB just because of their durability concerns. For now, though, I'll keep him on, although I would be shocked if he won the competition for starter.)
FB - Leach, Cook
TE - Daniels, Bruener, Dreesen
WR - Johnson, Davis, Jones, Walter, David Anderson
OL - Brown, Pitts, Myers, Weary, Winston (Backups T: Salaam, Frye; Backups G: Spencer, Frye; Backup C: Eslinger)
(My first instinct is that Brown might be too raw to expect to be an opening day starter, but Spencer was also considered plenty raw and he was an opening day starter. I think Kubiak will throw him to the wolves unless he's completely lost.)
DT - Okoye, Johnson, Maddox, Okam
DE - Williams, Weaver, Kalu, Cochran
LB - Ryans, Greenwood, Diles, Adibi, Thompson, Bentley
CB - (PUP Robinson), Bennett, Reeves, Fletcher, Molden, Faggins, Wynn
S - Ferguson, Demps, Brown, Harrison
LS - Bryan Pittman
K - Kris Brown
P - Matt Turk

PS - RB Walker, FB Abbate, QB Brink, S Barber, S B. Mitchell, G Studdard, LB Moffitt, DT DelJuan Robinson

Are Walker and Studdard still eligible for the PS?
