Mason v. Rock

[DIRTEE]

If Mason does well the rest of the preseason, he could unseed Rock. He's really gonna have to show and prove. Also, I think there will be 6 receivers. There's no need for a situational rusher with Jason Taylor on the team. If possible, Wilson goes to the PS.

2) Both Mix & Thrash play spec teams & play it well. Don't know if they'd have the #4 wr play teams, but that would make it even more feasible to keep 6.
3) Solid Depth; the potential of all these wideouts combined w/Thrash's value to the team might allow them to keep 6. Zorn is an offensive guy too.

Keeping six wideouts means there would only be room for one fullback, and that's not going to happen for a West Coast offense.

No way could we trade betts for a 2nd rounder.. thats retarded. I would say 3rd or 4th as the highest pick we could get for him

[skinsnut]

Betts aint even worth a 3rd rounder...If we can get a 3rd for him, I'd do it.
And regarding not needing a situational passer, you are crazy....we probably keep 2 of em.
The skins should find a way to keep both Chris Wilson AND Erasumus James.

Mix will not make the team...its a numbers game...we will keep 5 and 3 RB and somehow need to keep both situational pass rushers...as you can tell, we need Dline pressure.

We may need to pick up a solid LB and DT as a late vet pickup. CB is fine, Safety is still unknown but firming up.

Regarding Mason....unless there is a RB trade (doubtful) he wont make the team unless EJames or CWilson gets cut

[BleedBurgundy]

Rock is a solid but very much unspectacular kick returner. He's dependable but I don't think he "scares" anyone. I wouldn't lose any sleep if he's gone.

and if we get an offered 3rd for Betts we'd be insane not to take it. Favre was just traded for a conditional 4th, there's no way in hell anyone offers anything higher than that for LB.

Skinsnut - I have a feeling that we won't keep both of them. If Erasumus is near healthy, they'll let Chris Wilson go or sign him to the PS. That's just a gut feeling. We can wait until the start of the season to find out.
