Unreasonably Early Rock Moster

Sorry, meant to have Pennel in there.

Can we have two designated IR to return? That's where I would put Goodson then, and if not... that would be too bad. I wasn't sure how the PUP worked. Thinking they may disregard one of Banjo/Fanor for Goodson, possibly, as we have a lot of CBs who can play the S if need be.

Also, on Mulumba, I like him a lot. Just wondering if Mike's recent praise isn't overcompensation a bit, knowing he is on the edge. Crockett, may be too difficult to let loose. Mulumba? I'm thinking he may be more replaceable.

That was my rationale. I think if we cut Vaughters, he won't stay on our PS.

Wouldn't mind throwing Alonzo Harris on there in his place. Both players super talented.

Can have only 1 player on IR-DFR

You have enough super talented players to start a really good AFL team.

And Goodson isn't close to worth it even if there was 2 spots open

Palmer is a captain tonight.  Is he hurt or not?  

Goodson had a very good camp. He is improved. Looks like a different player from last year, entirely, and he is a good STs player.

Demovsky's Final 53

Based on how TT dealt with Goodson last year I can see Abby making the final cut.

Tom Oates at the WSJ has his 53 as well.  Keeps Abby too.

If they go with nine, then Josh Walker sticks because he can play multiple spots. The only reason they'd take him over Taylor is because Taylor only plays guard.

I'll be very surprised if they don't keep Walker. Size, Length, Versatility seems straight out of the MM/TT text book. Hoping they can get Pink to the PS - he just looks the part to me, sans the experience. As much of a Bucky fan as I am I don't see Rock-Me-Abbrederis getting separation as WR at the NFL level. You go back and look at his WI highlights and he did a lot of body catching. Passes he tried to catch just with his hands seemed to be a 50/50 proposition (at best).

How long does Palmer have to where the club?

Both of those look really good. Wish there was a way to keep John Crockett on the roster. I'd be looking at keeping him, even at the expense of a guy like Carl Bradford. He might pay off bigger down the stretch, and RBs can get banged up. If we run injury free at RB, then maybe he becomes a hot commodity at trade deadline.

I think Bradford's in trouble. Palmer outplayed him last night with a club on his hand. Watched him very closely, and he missed a bunch. Sad for me to see, as I know what he can do when he's not thinking so much, and playing on pure instincts within a system. He's not doing that yet. Not enough anyway to win a job.

It may be his comfort level in an ASU system vs a GB/Capers system.  Capers is a little more...complex.

Yeah. I agree DH13. I could tell he was really pressing last night. Wanting to make a big play, choosing the wrong side, or playing safe to cover his assignment, causing him to be a bit late. Got swallowed up in some run blitzes, missing the ball carrier. it was the exact opposite of what I was hoping to see for him.

Regardless, the ILB play by Palmer, Ryan and Thomas looked really good. We will be fine there. Man, is this going to be a fun season. Jake Ryan impressed the hell out of me, as did Palmer. Add to that, Joe Thomas showed some pretty serious speed there, coming up with  a nice sack on the blitz. That was all good to see. Palmer too. That guy has been one of the bigger surprises of the offseason in my eyes. Nice conversion to the interior by Nate.

I've been impressed with all of them and you can really make a very good case for any of the three backs competing for the one spot. This is likely Starks last year and I wouldn't mind seeing the other two making it to the PS. 

My gut tells me the organization isn't prepared to expose Abby to waivers yet and he makes the cut.

I'd keep Walker instead of Abby.

Paul Imig's Roster Projection 

I'm from around where Abbrederis grew up so I'd love to see him make the active roster, but I think he's practice squad bound. He's coming off an ACL tear and is probably one concussion away from being done. I don't think other teams will be lining up to sign him.

I concur with this 53 list. Don't think Abby makes it.

Why, was he cut?

Damn, but I'm good. Just call me Nostradumass.

I see what you did there Rusty. Funny. Here's my worthless predictions, unaltered.
