too early to predict anything, haven't even put the pads on yet & there have been simular threads started by padre31 & others speculating on who will survive the cut this season. I offer you my unprofessional flawed prediction on the possible 53 that will survive based solely on what I have read & personal opinion. I do this in the spirit of the Doldrums & in an attempt to keep the forum agile & active. Feel free to make any corrections, additions, subtractions or present an entirely new roster of 53. Everything is valid.

david martin gets axed?
-
I think Martin goes, Wilford stays. Has a lot to do with money & the fact that they are both verteran players who were WR's converted to TE & Martin is coming off an injury
Jason Taylor has played LS before & is excellent @ getting the ball back, this would free up another position on the roster & give Taylor more time on the field. -
Nicely done 23rd
Only changes I would make: Reggie Torbor and Joey Thomas over Folsom and Allen. -
Maybe the only change IMO would be Orion Martin in place of Folsom.
Otherwise nice job 23 -
Not bad 23, consider though that Polite could also lose his roster spot to E Wilford, Fb's are not as important as the used to be.
And IMO, unless Armstrong can return kicks at a super high level, he won't make the team. -
Ernest Wilford over Polite. I'm not saying Wilford won't make the roster, because he has a good shot of doing so. But unless Wilford can lead block and be viable 3rd/4th & Short option (as a runner), I doubt he'll stay at Polite's expsense.
Edit: Plus, Polite was just extended several weeks ago. -
They also may believe that Ronnie Brown should be able to pick up those 3rd and 4th down runs.
WE resigned Michael Lehan last season and cut him 5 games into the season.
