Now that we have a better feel for the players after training camp and two preseason games who do you think makes the 53?

Here's mine:

Offense
QB (2) - Ryan Tannehill, Matt Moore
RB (4) - Lamar Miller, Damien Williams, LaMichael James, Jay Ajayi
WR (6) - Jarvis Landry, Greg Jennings, Kenny Stills, Rishard Matthews, DeVante Parker, Matt Hazel
OL (9) - Brandon Albert, Dallas Thomas, Mike Pouncey, Billy Turner, Ju'Wuan James, Jason Fox, Jamil Douglas, Jeff Linkenbach, Sam Brenner
TE (3) - Jordan Cameron, Dion Sims, Gerrell Robinson

Defense
DT (4) - Ndamukong Suh, Earl Mitchell, Jordan Phillips, A.J. Francis
DE (4) - Cameron Wake, Olivier Vernon, Derrick Shelby, Terrence Fede
LB (8) - Jelani Jenkins, Kelvin Sheppard, Koa Misi, Jordan Tripp, Chris McCain, Zach Vigil, Spencer Paysinger, Mike Hull
CB (5) - Brent Grimes, Jamar Taylor, Brice McCain, Bobby McCain, Zach Bowman, Tony Lippett
S (4) - Reshad Jones, Walt Aikens, Michael Thomas, Don Jones

Special Teams
P - Brandon Fields
K - TBD
LS - John Denney

I'm still iffy on Will Davis making this team because the staff likes him but his performance has been awful...even before the knee injury. I also feel we may be able to stash Tony Lippett on the practice squad for a year. We could also go with 7 LBs and 5 DTs instead and keep Mosley for veteran leadership of a pretty young unit but that might hurt special teams.

I know Anthony Johnson soured a lot of people with the offsides and his poor play in that first game, but he has had a solid camp and the team likes him. I am expecting him to play himself back into the conversation and make the team. Three guys battling for two spots, as I think they keep 5. Yea 8 LBs is too many IMO. Hull to the PS. Special teams will not be an issue when you are keeping 5 safeties. Last two OL could be different come week one. Third TE could be anybody, Miami i would think wants more of a blocker there.

I am still thinking Jones and Aultman could still make this difficult if they shine on returns these final two games.
 
the interesting ones for me there are aj francis as the 4th dt hull as the final lb and who knows with bowman will davis and lippett...i really dont think anyones gonna pound your door down for lippett when he plays corner and is that slow but who knows...also hazel as a 6th wr i just kinda wonder about...

ced thompsons safety tape vs carolina was just awful...he needs to make an impact on specials but something in me says they keep him still

i dont know about don jones either this teams cut him before so i think they may feel they can always get him back if they need him

if we arent keeping chrstion jones i want him on the p squad for his returns ability...if we did down the road cut lamike i'd promote jones as returner...lamike just doesnt do much for me i'd like an upgrade
 
I would take McClendon over Brenner or Linkenbach

Stoneburner has gotten earlier looks than Robinson, so I would favor him...

I have seen nothing from Hull that makes him worth keeping...same with Paysinger.

You listed 6 CB's but marked them at (5).....

Other notes:

Don't see Hazel making the squad unless he gets some takes at PR/KR duty. LaMike James would take that slot IMO.

CJ Mosley makes the squad over AJ Francis

With Hazel cut I keep 6 CB's as you have. Will Davis cut.

Nah...that's what I wanted. I want to see everyone else's list. I think the first 40-45 are pretty easy...then it gets iffy. I added the extra linebackers for special teams...plus we can't count on Misi not missing games.
 
i like greasys list a little better...only one that i'm ehhh on is jd walton but if they think he can play a guard also maybe...imo though brenners been the better player thru 2 preseason games...somebodys gonna be active to snap the damn ball though as depth

bowmans a tough call he got goalline work with the 1's they must like his physicality for a corner...and they probably know they got a bird in hand in specials

i think it's time the will davis experiment ends...i dont see any of that as being medical related it's just who he is as a player...which is pitch and catch and suspect tackling...ideal scheme for him too which says to me stop wasting time miami
 
Truth, you have 54 guys on this prediction. Go ahead and make that vital last cut lol
