Final Roster Projection

I see us carrying 6 WRs. Clay is our best punt returner and will help us in field position. I think the injuries at DT depth will force us to keep an extra DT over an extra RB like Fozzy. Anderson's complete meltdown I think should make the decision easier to cut him, which would free up an extra player we could use in the secondary like L.J. McCray. Which will help because Colin Jones has looked terrible out there. 

We can also keep Gilbert on the practice squad. Armah should be safe on the practice squad as well. I think we keep Southward as the backup FS/CB due to the severity of depth at CB. I could also see us cutting Horton in favor of someone else. The reason I have him here is because I believe we would use a heavy rotation at DE due to Peppers' and Johnson's age. 

Butker has shown he should be our kicker. If Gano makes it, and it would not surprise me, it shows the complete lack of judgement from Rivera. This roster cut will tell us which direction this team is going. Are we going to really "evolve" and put the best 53 man squad together or are we going to stay the course and keep "Rivera's guys" or players that give us the feels?

PS: Can someone tell me how to edit signatures again?

The D for the Gano/Butker comments, even though CMC is our best PR.

Yeah...Gano is keeping his job. Sorry. 

Wonder how many more games he has to lose for us before Rivera decides it's time for a change? If he stays, he will cost us games.

No games have mattered.

The Super Bowl mattered.  Week 1 2016 mattered.  New Orleans 2016 mattered.  Seattle 2015 mattered.  Gano must go.

Games, spirit, momentum, sanity, etc.

I'm not arguing that. Last year got me pretty discouraged. Can only hope he comes back strong

Clay gives us at least a 10 yards per average on returns.

He cannot.  He was a vagabond sucking outcast from a house of horrors NFL kicking school with no home that no one wanted until he leeched on here.  He's made good money already to be a career sub 80% choke artist.  You are what you are.  And he sucks.

Sorry, I see the team keeping Sanchez (who has shown some sparks in the last game) and is still a young CB with potential. I don't see Teddy Williams keeping a roster spot.

Also, I imagine we'd see Bersin retain a spot and Manhertz not make the final cuts.

Like I said...I'm not arguing that at all. I'm just saying based on what's happened this preseason there doesn't appear to really be any real competition at K. 

I would say I'm happy to be wrong, but based on the misses I've seen from Butker in camp he's not an upgrade

Exacty, and Butker has not kicked anything that matters. If they dont think he's better they dont think hes better.

Gano has missed this preseason and almost missed an XP too while Butker hasn't missed yet.

Someone is.  Dan Carpenter.  Anyone.

Anyone.  But.  Gano.

Exactly and looked great while nailing them too, plenty of leg and confidence.  All while dealing with new surroundings as a young kid.

So can anyone tell me if the ability to edit sigs is gone now?
