Anywhere you disagree?

Thanks for the update!

Agree for the most part but I'm still on the cut Joe Webb train. Would let us keep a 6th WR or add another safety.

I hear you, but any time I speak to a player on special teams they always mention how important Webb is out there.

I hear ya....well its like Rivera said, these young fringe guys need to ball out on special teams to make the roster.

What's with the kicker the Panthers drafted in the seventh round?

Also, don't you think Armah could replace Young for the FB spot?

Gano is just the better kicker so far. 

 

No, Armah is a project.

Keeping Larson and Gradkowski? I don't know.  Don't they both do basically the same thing, backup center that can play guard.  I would think one or the other.

Well, they needed all three last year didn't they.

Larson was sign mid season, if I remember correctly.  I don't know if it was from someone practice squad or not but that is why they have the practice squad.

But Larsen & Gradkowski weren't on the roster simultaneously most of the time.  Even with all the O-line chaos last year, we only kept 10 O-line on the roster in 3 weeks.  Here's the breakdown of who was on the roster each week and who played when:

The percentages are snaps played.  Yellow shading was an attempt to identify games when our starters were not playing their normal position, just to show the disruption to our line last year.

Actually, now that I look more closely at my own table above (which I created back in March, so the data wasn't so fresh in my mind), we had 3 centers on the roster for 8 weeks of the season / 2 centers for 8 weeks of the season.  But there was only 1 week of the 8 where all three centers were active.

I guess a lot comes down to how confident we are in Larsen... Can we afford to let Gradkowski go? 

Also, Marty seems to value O-line more than DG, so that could lead to a change that would mean we keep 10.  It would be interesting to look back at O-line rosters under Hurney, but I don't have the time this week.

Well, we've found Jeremy's "love fest" pick, and that is Cole Luke.  He'll be on the Practice Squad to start the season.

So Teddy Williams is finally gone?  Woohooo
