I see us adding more Offensive line talent to bring to training camp as depth. We have a TON of receivers to choose from in training camp. This will be one of the most interesting TC battles in a while.. No one's job is safe.

Fason, nance, williams and the fan favourite, carter will all be cut

what aobut joey goodspeed?
the fb they signed last year, is he still with the team, i know htey put him on IR

is it just me or is anyone else A LOT more excited about next year then before the draft.

I just realized how much I absolutely LOVE McCauley........

BYE BYE WHITAKER!!!!!!!

Dwight was a Tomlin guy as well so I dunno how they will go about keeping 5 safety's.
I really hope the keep Greg Blue but Doss, Tank, and Greg are all similar in style.

With Edwards returning and McCauley we're set at corner.

We're STACKED at safety.

MLB is a concern, we'll see how EJ does in the middle.

RT is a concern as well, we need to move Marcus Johnson back to guard, and acquire a tackle.

RB is absolutely set.

WR still has some question marks, but is a potentially good group.


We're looking pretty sold as a team right now.... we'll see if the KAO will work with the new personnel.

out of the current roster, here's how i see it turning out.

That's pretty damn good IMO. We are completely set on defense and are actually looking stronger than last year post draft. I'm a lot more confident about our ends and linebackers with the late draft additions. The Wide Receivers are looking a lot better but I want us to add one more veteran free agent like Eric Moulds. Should be the most interesting TC battle with that many guys on the roster. I love our secondary right now with the addition of McCauley. We're looking prett strong with that starting lineup. Man, I'm pumped for next season.

Nope, cuz im also excited now that we did awesome in the draft. I was getting worried because of the teams we have to play but I feelings abit better. Even though it will still be tough we shouldn't worry too much if we dont make the superbowl or playoff cuz we still got lots to do

McCauley can be special player if he works hard. they wont cut greg blue, they saw enough talent out of him to let him start openning season, so he will be with the team unless he just does not impress anyone in TC.

You saying that Jason Carter STILL won't be able to be out our 7th rounder?
If that's the case, then he will never make the roster!
Also, Richard Owens should be the backup FB and Smith rather than Doss might be the convert to CB...but other than that...pretty good list!

Nice man. Here are the postitions i would change.

Offense:

Tight End:
Visanthe Shiancoe

Jim Kleinsasser






Jim just isn't number 1 TE can't catch the ball or stretch

the feild like V.shi

Wide Receiver:
Sidney Rice - usually rookies wouldn't start but in this case i say throw him to the dogs. What else can we do?
Bobby Wade
Aundrae Allison - in dream world develops to #2 and wade moves to the slot where we want him.
Billy McMullen
Troy Williamson (only # 5 if he has a good training camp and preseason)
Bonus: Todd "i shocked the world baby!" Lowber as KR or PR



Guard:
Steve Hutchinson
Marcus Johnson

Tackle:
Bryant McKinnie
Ryan Cook ------im on the moving Johnson inside and playing ryan cook at tackle boat.




Defense:


Defensive End:
Kenechi Udeze
--Udeze doesnt lose his starting spot yet
Erasmus James
Ray Edwards-- will continue to grow into a good pass rusher and move on up
Darrion Scott
Brian Robison-- Out of my ass prediction, he moves up maybe even passed Darrion.
Jayme Mitchell



Weakside Linebacker:
Chad Greenway
Rufus Alexander-- Rufus is the perfect WLB for the tampa 2, see Cato June, small-ish and fast.

Strongside Linebacker
Ben Leber
Heath Farwell
Vinny Ciurciu


Middle linebacker:
EJ Henderson
Dontarrious Thomas

Cornerback:
Antoine Winfield
Cedric Griffin
Marcus McCauley
Dwight Smith -- converts to CB
Devonte Edwards


Safety:
Darren Sharper
Mike Doss
Tank Williams
Greg Blue-- Blue is still pretty raw and we have too many proven safetys. Although he will seriously injure someone on ST this season. Devon Hester?
