Re: Predicting the final 53
Apke was in on 42% of the defensive snaps last year. He's likely the 5th corner out of 6 on this depth chart. My guess is he'll see field less as a corner this year, than he did at safety last year...unless there are injuries of course.
It's odd to see a safety turned into a corner. I'm used to seeing it the other way around - usually later in a corner's career. |

As for Apke I'm gonna take a stab and say he's one of those guys who works hard but isn't athletically gifted. So yeah his play might never be good but his work ethic keeps him around.

Re: Predicting the final 53
We need to think of Apke as a ST player in the same way we think of K P and LS. If he sees the field on defense then it is because four other guys are out injured.

Re: Predicting the final 53
You simply can not put Apke in at corner ever. That is the dumbest thing to do ever.

Re: Predicting the final 53
We do not have quality depth on this team. A couple injuries could be back breaking.

Re: Predicting the final 53
I disagree. Your "depth" players are just that. You can’t expect that your 5th/6th CB will come in and ball out. They are special teamers that can hopefully play the position in a pinch if there’s an injury or someone needs a blow. This is our "depth". LB is the obvious position of need. Other than that I would say we are sitting pretty damn good.
QB Taylor Heinicke QB Kyle Allen RB Jaret Patterson WR Dyami Brown WR Cam Sims WR Dax Milne WR DeAndre Carter TE John Bates TE Sammis Reyes TE Ricky Seals-Jones OT Cornelius Lucas OT Saahdiq Charles C Tyler Larsen G Wes Schweitzer DE Casey Toohill DE Shaka Toney (LB) DE James Smith-Williams DT Matt Ioannidis DT Tim Settle LB Khaleke Hudson CB Torry McTyer CB Troy Apke CB Darryl Roberts S Bobby McCain S Darrick Forrest S Deshazor Everett |

I'm actually surprised to feel that good about our OL depth, the guys in at G in that 3rd game were just unwatchable, glad they're cut, but Lucas is a very high quality back up T, Charles has taken some nice strides and can play pretty much any where on the line, and Schweitzer showed he could start at both G positions. Not sure what Tyler Larsen but he was our number 2 center all pre-season and I didn't see anything glaringly ridiculous (a part maybe a pretty shameful stumble in PS week 3).

I actually think our depth overall, especially with the degree of versatility our roster has, could take a few injuries and still perform. In a 17 game season, that will be critical. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |
