Here is my 53 man roster projection. Always tough as there are surprises abound every September. Have fun with it and submit your own. I may adjust some as of the Tampa game.

QB (3)- Henne, Moore, O'Connell

RB (3) Bush, Thomas, Hilliard

FB (2) Polite, Clay

TE (2) Fasano, Masturd

WR(6) Marshall, Hartline, Bess, Gates, Wallace, Moore

OL (9) Long, Carey, Pouncey, Incognito, Columbo, Murtha, Garner, Jerry, Feigna

DL (7) Starks, Soliai, Langford, Ordrick, McDaniel, Merling, Baker,

LB (9) Wake, Burnett, Dansby, Misi, Taylor, Edds, Mitchell, Alama-Francis, Spitler

DB (9) Davis, Smith, Carroll, Sapp, Ness, Bell, Jones, Clemons, Wilson

ST (3) Carpeter, Fields, Denney

Thoughts/Arguments
• Keep 6 WR (which I am not a fan of) However, I feel Moore and Wallace need one more year.
• Keep 2 TE’s with Clay playing some H-bacK? Search waiver wire for a TE that is athletic.
• You COULD keep 2 QB’s instead of the 3 I had to free up a roster spot with a QB on PS
• My punt returners can be Gates, Bess or Bush. KR will be Gates
• Major Cuts: Allen, Berger, Livas, Sheets
 
i think it's kind of hard to predict anything at this point, especially since i think there are a few positions we'll still have to address once other teams make their cuts. i also think we're going to trade one of our many DE's. right now, there are about 35-40 players who are locks IMO.

i don't think we're going to keep a traditional FB. it just doesn't appear to be too big of a staple in Daboll's offense. Charles Clay has shown some promise as a blocker. i think he'll make the roster. i listed him among the TE's. i think Polite gets cut
 
I agree with your current 53 with two modifications:

Trusnik over Mitchell @ ILB (I think Mitchell only sticks if Spitler's foot injury lands him on IR);

and I don't think we keep both Feigna and Jerry (watch for a Dallas retread OL after cut downs)

I thought exactly the same thing, and more so because Polite missed a lot of key blocks last year.

BUT ... then I saw a long-winded Sparano interview ... he just went on & on & on about how Polite is Mr-First-Down & valuable.

Will be interesting ... not sure if Sparano's spiel is foreshadowing ... or the ole Mafia kiss-of-death before they whack you!! (seen before in Dolphin-land)
 
QB - Henne/Moore/O'Connell
RB - Bush/Thomas/Hilliard
FB - Polite
HBack - Clay
TE - Fasano/Epps
WR - Marshall/Hartline/Bess/Gates/Wallace/Livas
OL - Long/Carey/Pouncey/Incognito/Colombo/Garner/Jerry/Murtha

DL - Starks/Soliai/Langford/Mcdaniel/Odrick/Merling/Fields
LB - Wake/Dansby/Burnett/Misi/Taylor/Edds/Mitchell/Francis/Trusnick
DB - Davis/Smith/Sapp/Wilson/Carroll/Bell/Jones/Clemmons/Culver/Ness

P - Fields
K - Carpenter
LS - Denney


Inactives: Ness/Jerry/Mitchell/Francis/Trusnick/Culver/Carroll

Special Teams coverage: Wallace/Hilliard/Jones/Sapp/Wilson/Epps/Edds/Clay/Polite/Clemmons plus either Bess/Bush/Gates/Livas as the returner.

I don't think there is anyway these are the 53 guys . . . but based on what we have on the roster right now.

Devlin and Grigsby to the PS.
 
I don't see Livas being kept over Moore. Livas is nothing more then speed at the PR position. Although Moore is still a little inconsistent with his hands he has speed as well being a ST contributor. He has a higher potential rate then Livas. Lok for Livas to land on the PS.

He does have more potential, but Livas would impact THIS year . . .as Moore would more than likely be an inactive. Just my opinion, but Moore has proven he has terrible hands and when he does catch it, he literally fights the ball to catch it.

Honestly, I think we only go with 5 WR's to be honest,after all the roster churning, and Livas does end up on the PS. Gates on the kickoff returns and Bess/Bush/Gates on punts.

I see us going 6 RB's, so I'm expecting a pickup somewhere.
 
Good job, Hayden. I think Trusnick and Ronnie Fields make it. I think Trusnick over Spitler.

I would not be surprised if Polite or Marlin Moore get traded or axed. 6 wr just doesn't seem like something this regime would do. If we commit to Clay, we may not have a spot for Polite.

I can almost guarantee that we acquire another TE. GB has like 4. They do that like every year.

Colombo should be cut but I don't think Sparano sees it that way. Feinga is in jeopardy. As dismal as Berger was last year, he does have some experience.

I'm more inclined to think we keep 6 WRs. Moore would be the 6th and Livas on PS. I see Bush, Thomas, Hilliard, and Grigsby along with Clay at the H Back. Agree that Polite is in danger in this offense.

Who is Derrick Thomas? Didn't he play for the Chiefs in the 90's?
