53-man Prediction

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Let’s stir some shit up. This is what I think happens, not necessarily what I would do.

OFFENSE (25)

QB (2): Mahomes, Wentz
RB (3): Pacheco, Steele, CEH
WR (7): Rice, Brown, Worthy, Watson, Hardman, Ross, Remigio
TE (4): Kelce, Gray, Wiley, Smith Jr.
LT (2): Suamataia, Morris
LG (2): Thuney, Caliendo
C (2): Humphrey, Nourzad
RG (1): Smith
RT (2): Taylor, Niang

————

DEFENSE (25)

DE (2): Karlaftis, Herring
NT (2): Pennel, Nnadi
DT (3): Jones, Wharton, Dickerson
DE (3): Danna, FAU, Truman Jones
SLB (2): Chenal, Christiansen
MLB (2): Bolton, Cochrane
WLB (2): Tranquill, Cam Jones
CB (4) McDuffie, Williams, Watson, N. Johnson
N (1): Conner
FS (2): Cook, Bush
SS (2): Reid, Hicks

————

SPECIALISTS

K (1): Butker
P (1): Araiza
LS (1): Winchester

I could see Moore making the team just for the WR screens. We have receivers who could take these plays for big gains if they get a block out in front to spring them. Moore is pretty good at that. Some of the other Wr's, not so much.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

My problem with Moore is I think he’s only average or above at one position — the slot — and that just doesn’t work in Andy’s offense. You gotta be able to move around and not be totally useless when you’re lined up wide.

Hardman could be the odd man out and I’m willing to bet he gets cut if they want Remigio or Ross on the roster.

Load Toney up in a potato gun and blast him into the Missouri River. Let the Saints fish him out when he gets down there.

I feel the reasons you are saying Skyy will make the team are the exact reasons Hardman will make the team. I "think" they'll only go with 6 receivers and keep 4 TEs, but we'll see.

- Rice

Also really think they bring in a vet CB and/or RB. Either of those groups could turn into mush with one injury.

I tend to agree. Having depth at DT (or NT whatever) is needed even if it is on the practice squad. I think Pennel is and has been great but at some point you are going to be too old. i think this is the year it finally happens. Nnadi sucks compared to the rest of our defensive roster but he's 28 and this should be the best year he's ever had. He's in his prime.

Hope so. But I bet Skyy / Toney make it in place of Ross / Remigio

Niang isn't showing much at all. I'd rather have Driskell at this point and he's pretty raw.

Moore has been a disappointment for sure based on where we drafted him, but I see nothing that NR can do better than Moore.

No idea how folks perpetually forget THAT return.

Yah. When you compare Hardman to the others, I'll take Hardman. Just freaking barely, but there is a difference, and I'll take it over the nothings the other guys produce.

[Bump]

I agree with most of the OP's list. I'm not sure about Remigio, I can see them keeping either toney or moore instead. Even though I don't really care if either of the 2 are still on the team, it's just what I think they might do. Remigio didn't seem to do that much in preseason either. I think Ross makes it for sure.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Anyone else have thoughts on Driskell? Would he make it through to PS? He was a fairly-highly rated tackle coming out.

I'd certainly prefer him to Niang, but I'm not making the decisions.

I’m a fan.

He has some major tools and he can move better than I expected. He steamrolled a couple guys on one of Prince’s big runs.

Niang is fat. Cut his ass already.

I think Driskell gets snatched up if he’s on the PS.

While I agree with you I just don't see them parting with Moore yet and Toney may have a leg up on Ross/Remigio....I hope I'm wrong but I'm not sure just yet.

I can see them picking up 2 guys from other teams (DE/RB) and possibly keeping 1 of Toney-Remegio-Ross while Thompson and Omenihu are out and possibly putting Morris on short term IR and bringing back Smith, to start the season. I don’t think Godrick counts towards the 53, right?

[TwistedChief]

I think the Hollywood Brown injury makes it a fair bit more likely we're gonna see Moore make the roster, and that's probably over Remigio. Otherwise, I don't think there's much chance at all we see Toney getting a spot and that's likely going to Ross.

I give them the benefit of the doubt when they're filling in these last roster spots. They know what they need from the WR room as well as special teams, and I don't think WR6 and WR7 are getting too much run this year anyway.
