That blog is dead now.

Well intially we have 4 players with OT experience on the team.

Brown, T Williams, A Hicks, S Heyer.

Capers has not shown much more than starting this season on the practice squad. Unfortunately, but at the same time if the coaches have not seen much in him than niether has the rest of the league to give him a shot on thier PS or roster.

Also on your Rosters. You should include Blades, Riley, McIntosh, Fletcher, and Henson as our ILBs. I know it is five but we have one who is has some OLB expirience. Maybe I am wrong thier, but keeping those 5 lbs plus the four OLBs. Blades and Henson will be SP players and see a little live snaps.

Didn't know where to put this I know several people had mentioned this guys name found this story figured I'd post it:

Many believe banks doesn't make the roster,but put me in the minority of hoping this guy does make it.

I really like this kid and his explosiveness. Yes,his fumbles is really a concern,but this guy is just too flat out dangerous to let go imo...And I guarentee you..if he goes to the practive squad...He's gone! might as well forget about him.

The kid has Devin Hester/Donte Hall ability and also has fumbling issues. But he doesn't play tentative or scared and the guy probably should..lol

Did you see his screen pass that he ripped down the sideline? I don't know how...But you HAVE to find a way to keep him on this 53 man roster...
Keep him inactive on that 53 man roster,but you have to keep him on the team.

As I said before...you put him on the practice squad,you might as well release him..cause he won't last. I'm sure a team like the Rams or so will find a place for him.
We'll regret it!! That I can tell ya...

As far as the other players...It's going to be VERY interesting who makes this team.

Got to keep Selvish Capers! he was the only guy not letting his guy cave in the O-line to bartel..lol
Awesome draft pick!

I think Trrence Austin makes himself hard to cut. I think he might make the team.

Honestly..I would keep both Banks and Austin and trade/cut Devin Thomas...He just does NOT impress me at all!

Would love to have Moss,Galloway,Armstrong,Austin and Banks I would keep these 5 for sure!!
Maybe add a 6th in F/A like a T.J. or so who could be our #2 or #3...
I would definately keep 6 WR's since that seems to be the big question on this team anyways...IMO
Not to mention Moss has a tendency to get injured and galloway is old.

beck...I know Shanny likes the kid and probably sees something I don't...Obviously with extension.
Count me in the group who's not impressed at all...
I can live with the fact of him being the #3...

But there was honestly no difference in skillset when comparing him to Bartell...Honestly..Bartel looked better at times....

bartels problem is his pocket awareness...Happy feet.
but overall talent..bartell looks no worse to me than beck imo...

if they cut beck today and signed bartel to an extension....I would be like...

OK...

Wilson plays hard,but his continous personal foul calls are getting just a little old.
i like him...but this guy is a defensive killer to us at times!
If he did this every blue moon..no big deal.
But it's all the damn time!!!
seriously..lol
He's almost a liability...

Other than that..nobody really stood out to me...
I noticed tryon got a pick...
I truly had no idea this guy could do anything that could be fathomed or considered a good play in our backfield..lol

Seriously..I need 5 more preseason games to evaluate this guy...lol
Sorry..just not a fan of him

I can't see Banks making it, too risky with the fumbles/muffs.

Yeah...he's electric and would be just awesome to have if we could trust him not to fumble.
He's put the ball on the ground what 4 times this preseason? That just can't happen. I see no way he makes the team when I think of it that way.

Take away the fumbles and the kid would probably be a lock. Another muff last night makes him a big concern for me. If you can't be trusted to at least field a clean punt 99% of the time, you're not going to have a job for very long.

Yeah when I was just putting together my roster it was plain as day that without the ball security issues he is a complete and utter lock. He blew it. I think he actually played his way off the team putting the ball on the ground twice last night. Maybe they PS him but I gotta think another team picks him up.

NOTES

*OK, I really don't expect us to sign Mitchell... but I think Galloway will be on the team after the 53 man roster is released and then released when we pick up a WR cut by another team. In all likelyhood, we pick up a WR cut by the Texans or Broncos who is familiar with a shanahan offense or possibly even Houshmandzadeh or Crayton, both of whom may be released.

**If Horton makes the team, its as the 53rd player. If we decide to go with 7DL, 6CB, or 6 WR, he's gone.

[CRedskinsRule]

BHA, doesn't Banks as KR/PR give you 54?

[Beemnseven]

Someone mentioned this on the Monday Morning QB show on ESPN 980, and it's a good point: Reed Doughty appears to be relatively un-athletic and allows the pass to be completed more than he breaks the pass up. But there doesn't seem to be much debate that he'll be lining up next to Landry at the free safety position -- and that should be fairly alarming for anyone concerned about pass defense.

If opponents start lighting it up through the air against us, I'd be willing to bet Doughty will be the primary target.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Thanks for pointing that out. I copied Dirtbag's roster to use as a template and forgot to remove Banks. There's no way Banks makes the team. Even if he weren't too small to have an NFL career longer than 3 seasons, he puts the ball on the ground far too often. I think he's only got a 50/50 shot of making our practice squad. If anyone on the bubble played their way off the team last night, it was Banks. It won't be a tough decision for Shanahan.
