I'd like to see both Rufus and Erin make the squad.

Some of us are still on track with what the staff is thinking with respect to the 53 man roster.

I was not expecting Pope. He seemed to be ok in preseason. They must just want to stick with the young guys. Probably a good idea.

As of right now, it does appear that they should make the cut, right?

Backups of Vinny and those two?? Any others I am forgetting?

I continually look back (and refer) to what this staff has done in the limited time we've had to analyze them and they have shown a trend to stick with the young guy that fits the scheme even though he might not be as experienced or talented as some of us fans think.

With very few exceptions all of the FA Vets brought in are guys that are coming off of thier first contract.

Sometimes I worry about that as at somepoint, alot of contracts are gonna come due but it does give you a team all at or about the same age which IMHO has lead to the team atmosphere we are seeing.
