Preseason Game 3: Big Roster Battles

[PennSkinsFan]

Overall, I think of all defensive positions, DT and S are the most locked down. Backup CB slots are the most heated between Kevin Barnes, Byron Westbrook, and Justin Tryon. I don't see Barnes not making the team though, not after using a third round pick. Hell, look at the awful preseason Tryon had last year, but he was a 4th rounder so he got the benefit. I just don't see hardly any spotts fro the two rookie linebackers.

Great assessment PSF! I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on all of your choices since I am not a big Defensive personnel guy. I've read we were the 4th best Defense last year, but I look at 8-8, and think how can that be??? After watching the 2 PS games, and the lack of opponent stops and I still think the same thing??? Looking forward to your take on the O side of the ball.

I have a particular dislike for Doughty, Tryon, and Old Timer Wynn.
