that's 53, i think you can do 55 now though, so that's 1 LB, 2 OL and 2 ?? spots that don't have a really strong option right now. maybe we could keep 7 WRs :P or mike sellers... or both!

So you you have Gnomes making the team over Horton? I can live with that. Horton really hasn't been the same from a couple of years ago when he was racking up interceptions and then later got injured.

It would be nice if all the Huskers made the active roster.

yeah, I just don't see the spot for him. doughty is no world beater, and if he's starting, your team's in trouble (just not fast enough), but he's competent and horton has just looked... awful. too many blown coverages. gomes had a couple good plays and hasn't seemed any worse, and he fights less .

I said it then and I will say it now. Those picks and recoveries were "look what I found" instances and were not predicated on any particular skill or anything that he was doing aside from executing the play. He got lucky. Players of much better talent have not recieved that amount of luck in such a short time frame.

It has been 2 years since I last heard Horton's name on the field. He is as good as gone. Unless Gnomes is sent to the practice squad. One advantage Horton does have is that he's pretty big and physical and in a 3-4 defense that's a must for a strong safty.
