I came up with that just from the standpoint that I have not heard much about Parker other than he is not getting many reps and hasn't impressed much.
I could see shanny keeping the younger guy who comes cheaper and has a bigger upside over an often injured 30 year old guy who may have lost some of his speed ( which was really his calling card and what made him a good player )

I also gave the distinction between Portis and Johnson to keep things easy. I do see your point though and I believe you stated that a couple of months ago before training camp opened.

So Smoot you think there is a good chance that the final depth chart may look something like this (like you stated without signing another rb):
1. Portis
2. Johnson
3. Torian
4. Williams
I like that depth chart. Good mix of speed and power, experience and youth.

Shanny and Turner love Torrain. I think at this point it is his job to lose. Seems to me Parker has an uphill battle and anyone else doesn't have a shot much at all.

But it will all get sorted out starting Fri night when the put the pads on and hit someone wearing a different jersey.

Can we just clear something up here? It's Torain, not Torrain. We had this same issue last year with Chase Daniel, not Chase Daniels.
That said, barring another signing (Westbrook?), Williams has a great chance to make the roster as the 4th back, and if he plays strongly enough sure he can compete for #3. I think ATV's previous time with Shanahan gives him a slight advantage
Thanks SmootSmacks.
I see Williams being a practice squad guy with the outside possibility of being the #3 with injury. Unless he's a ST dynamo, I don't see how you keep 4 WR over an additional WR or CB.

I think you meant to type RB.
