Predict the 2013 53 Man Opening Day Roster

I think Joe may have it about spot on.

Joe's O looks right...hard to see where a player gets cut out of the those 26...that's problematic though leaving us only 24 spots for defense, where we're thin. At some point I think Rex does get cut because he costs a lot for a 3rd stringer and we'll just need to spot. He can be our 3rd string QB from his couch most weeks anyways.

A few questions on the line could make it interesting. Everyone assumes Pashos makes it but maybe they like Compton enough to consider him the swing tackle we need. I think Gettis is our backup C as of now. LeRib might be the one the most on the bubble. Carrying 8 OL seems risky. Having to kee the extra rb and te hurt. No way around it though.

Oline was the spot I looked at when you made your post, will that be the spot where they only keep 8 instead of 9....

I don't think Gettis has ever played center. I may be wrong.

Mathews, Pashos, Gettis and Chester are all pretty much one position players. That makes it tough to keep more than two of them given the other roster restrictions.

It's also why I think Hurt gets a spot if he can play this year.

I think it comes down to whether Compton is good enough to be the swing guy (Pashos cut) and whether they give Rib one more year. If cut, Rib signs with a another team I think pretty quick.

Played it in college and I was under the impression they were working him in at C.

Gotcha. Didn't realize that. I haven't seen (or more accurately - heard, read about) Gettis playing center. If he does, it could really come down to him or LeRib.

Gettis has looked better. Rib probably has more upside. Both I beieve can swing G/C theoretically.

NOw defense...that's a harder nut to crack given the suspensions and questions all over the place.
