The Official First Unofficial Predict the Opening Day Roster Thread

QB- Jason Campbell RB- Portis FB- Sellers WR- Moss/ARE TE- Cooley T- Samuels, Jansen, G - Thomas, Wade, C- Rabach...no real suprises there

DE- Daniels and Carter DT- Golston Griffin - LB- Marshal, Fletcher, Washington
S- Taylor, Preiulou CB- Rogers, Springs

so this dude was a DT in G. Bay and/or Miami?

Offensive Guard

WR: Santana Moss; Brandon Lloyd; Antwaan Randle El; James Thrash, Mike Espy
-I’m very much in the minority here I know, but I like this receiving corps

I'm done hating on Lloyd. He's a solid receiver when thrown too. All character issues aside, he is more than adequate for JC.

When there's Cooley, Betts, and Portis in the mix... who needs a #2 receiver anyways.

If his attitude makes a 180 (and that's a big if) Lloyd will get the job done when his name called. Write that down.

So SS, you think we're going to say a final goodbye to Ryan Boscetti and Demetric Evans?

QB - Campbell
RB - Portis/Betts: I think its a good Bet that Betts shares the load with Portis, almost 50-50, maybe 51-49 to Portis but close enough.
FB - Sellers
TE - Cooley
WR - Moss, Lloyd, Randel El, Thrash/Espy
OL - Samules, Wade, Rabach, Thomas, Jansen: Think Wade is the front runner at the moment, he wouldn't have resigned without a guaranteed shot to start.

DL - Carter, Griff, Golston, ???: We currently have no one worthy of this spot!! My guess would be be Daniels, but i hope not!
LB - Washington, Fletcher, McIntosh/Marshall: McIntosh and Marshall will split time, until one wins/loses the job.
CB - Rogers and Smoot
S - Taylor and Landry: Lets just throw him on the field and let him play!


no way portis and betts get the same amount of carries more like 75-25

no way portis and betts get the same amount of carries more like 75-25
I bet they at least get the same amount of touches.

Offensive Guard

I see his position is listed as guard, but they have defensive stats under his profile.

I bet they at least get the same amount of touches.


dont see that either

I think Smootsmack has it right with the following exceptions:

1. Fox will be the 3rd safety behind Landry and Pray-Low and,

2. Who in the heck is Cedric Griffin?

(Way to go out on a limb with Allbright)

OFFENSE: (23)

OT: Jansen, Samuels (Wade, Pucillo)
OG: Thomas, Ross Tucker (Tucker Peterson (OFA), Lefotu)
C: Rabach
- I think the coaches really like Pucillo and Tucker. I think they keep Lefotu as a developmental player. He may be a practice squad guy (if he is still eligible). I don't think Whitworth makes the team - GBay gave up on him when their line stank. He strikes me as big, fat and slow. I like the OFA guy from Vermont simply b/c of the write-up he had. He isn't signed yet but I am thinking he is EXACTLY the type of OFA that will be a player in years to come.
Overall, after reviewing the roster, I like our O-Line and its depth. I think it will be the strength of the offense.

WR: Moss, Randel-El (LLoyd, Thrash, Espy)
- The Lloyd experiment comes to a halt as he tells A. Saunders "It's not my fault I ran the wrong route. Blame it on the Offensive Coodinator and the crap game he is calling."

TE: Cooley (Yoder, (Pucillo))
- Not a whole lot of options here. As with last year, I think Pucillo ends up being the blocking tight-end by default.

RB: Portis/Betts (Cartwright)
FB: Sellers
- Again, pretty much set.

QB: Campbell (Brunell, Bramlett)
- Duh.

DEFENSE 22

DE'S: Daniels, Carter (Wynn, Jamal Green)
DT'S: Golston, Griffin, (Montgomery, Salavea)
- I think we squeeze one more year out of Daniels, Wynn and Salavea. At DE, the young talent just doesn't strike me as all that talented.

LB: Washington, Fletcher, McIntosh (Marshall, Blades, (Sartz))
- Marshall is the first one off the bench at each position, Blades learns the ropes. Sartz is the emergency outside backer.

CB: Springs, Smoot (Rogers, Macklin (Jimoh))
- Springs stays put, Smoot steps back into the 2 spot and Rogers cools his heels as the no.3 corner.

S: Taylor, Prileou (Landry, Doughty, Fox)
- Until midseason when Landry teams with Taylor. By the end of the year the two are feeding off each other and playing with scary instinct for each other and the ball.

SPECIAL TEAMS: (7)
P: Frost
K: Suisham
LS: Albright
ST Players: Jimoh, K. Campbell, Sartz, Chris Wilson
- Wilson cracks the team as a STeamer and eventually moves into the back up weakside LB position. Suisham is the Skins kicker for the next 10 years.
