Super Early 53 Man Roster Prediction

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked.

A bit concerned with #2 corner.

But, yeah, pretty damn stacked.

Now it makes sense!

Think the organization feels it's too early to give up on the investment in Kizer. See them going with three QBs again. 

Boyle will not be #2.

They will keep more than 5 WR's.  Hell, they might keep 7 depending on talent depth elsewhere.

Kizer hasn't shown me anything yet.

But Boyle has. Unfortunately, he is experiencing yet another change in offenses.

I kept Trevor Davis as the 6th WR but he's listed PR/KR.

This was just for sh!ts & gigs. I do understand the CB depth is a tad short, but, it is rich with talent. They are working the group pretty much as DBs in general, and I see a lot of opportunities for a few players to bounce back and forth between CB, Slot and S. Pretty smart move by them I think. Makes for a lot more fluidity and understanding/communication being all considered essentially one group. 

Wondering a bit whether Crosby survives the competition this year, simply for cap purposes. Sam Ficken is young, but he was quite good at Penn St, setting school record with a 54 yd. FG. However, his trajectory is low, and had 10 of 75 attempts blocked there. I'd stick with the vet, Crosby.

I get the Kizer thing, but I believe it was a wash getting rid of a locker room cancer who freelanced too much for their liking. Seems Gutey isn't one to hold too dearly to any mistakes, and I think the battle for the #2 QB will be a good one. Maybe they do keep 3.

I'm also starting to wonder a bit about Oren Burks. Rodgers targeted him twice this week and won both throws in his area. I'm hoping he comes around and helps this defense. Will see. This gives me hope though:

Kept a 10th OL, as keeping Aaron clean is priority one. Not sold on Madison making the 53, but, they did make a big commitment to him, and he wants to return the favor. Just wondering if the year may have been too much time away to win a spot, but I threw him in there.

Funny thing on keeping FB Dan Vitale. I looked up how TEN (MLF) used a FB last season, and Derrick Henry struggled mightily without one through the first 8 games, where he averaged 3.3 ypc. They signed FB Jalston Fowler, and he cruised to 5.88 ypc in their last 8 games. Using their TE group as H-Back wasn't working too well, and a mauler FB got the job done. Plus, Vitale is a great ST player.

Who knows how it shakes, but, it is kind of fun to take a guess. A lot of battling for positions to be had come late July.

TiT Town!

10 blocked kicks???? YIKES!

Right? Just looked that up... uh, no thanks. Unless they coach him up, and I mean up! Also had 30% touchbacks and only a 3.6 second hang time. Leg strength prior to draft was considered a bit less than desired.

I should mention he did improve his FG percentage from 50% freshman year to 82% senior year. Maybe he worked that out. This was first I heard of that.

Clearly a work in progress. Kickers do improve with time. 

Grave Digger:

You left out Kumerow.

I have to believe Whitewater Jesus makes it this year.

Grave Digger doesn't have Kumerow. He's looking like a lock, like, a next to Adams lock.

F'ing Kumerow is my wife's new boyfriend...... ha!!! Not sure why. Maybe because they both went to Whitewater, but, so did I for a few months.

Just found out a bit more about Ficken. He missed 7 of his first 11 kicks at Penn St. Robbie Gould pulled him aside and mentored him, and he straightened himself out over the years.... kinda cool.

I think it was an oversight. His roster is short by one player. 

Yeah, has to be. GD is on his game.

The only trouble I have with his 53 is Yosh Nijman will never stick on our PS. Someone will snap him in a heartbeat, and he destroyed Clelin Ferrell, Wilkins and Lawrence from Clemson, and stoned Zach Allen. Great player at Virginia Tech. He must stay on this 53 or he is gone. Too valuable to not keep, with insane athleticism, and he plays both LT and RT. 6-7 340... Fell just short of "elite" category in SPARQ and RAS. Many scouts had him as the highest performer overall in his class at the Combine.

You're married to Goldie?

You forgot the injured reserve.
