Chiefs The Right Fifty Three - Page 2

jcroft · 08-16-2012, 11:53 AM

I took a quick stab at putting together a 53-man roster. I've never done this before, so it's quite possible I've overlooked something or taken one too many or too few of some position or another. Also, I didn't try to make this a depth chart at all, just a list of names. Go easy on me.

How would you change it?

QB
Cassel, Matt
Quinn, Brady
Stanzi, Ricky

RB
Charles, Jammal
Hillis, Peyton
Draughn, Shaun
Gray, Cyrus

FB
Bannon, Shane

WR
Bowe, Dwayne
Baldwin, Jon
Breaston, Steve
McCluster, Dexter

Lilja, Ryan
Hudson, Rodney
Asamoah, Jon
Winston, Eric
Allen, Jeff
Stephenson, Donald
Mims, David

DL
Dorsey, Glenn
Jackson, Tyson
Toribio, Anthony
Poe, Dontari
Powe, Jerrell
Pitoitua, Ropati
Bailey, Allen
Gordon, Amon

OLB
Hali, Tamba
Huston, Justin
Studebaker, Andy

ILB
Johnson, Derrick
Belcher, Jovan
Siler, Brandon
Sheffield, Cameron
Greenwood, Cory

CB
Flowers, Brandon
Routt, Stanford
Brown, Jalil
Arenas, Javier
Menzie, De'Quan

AHHHHHH.

I had to cut Bair to make room.

Question:

Let's assume all of these guys are healthy for gameday action. What would your inactive list look like for Week 1?

I thought I was being asked how I'd do it.

I cut Stude and give Jones a shot.

Jesus.

How long's the list, again? 7 inactives?

Direckshun · 08-16-2012, 12:34 PM

Assuming it's seven, my inactives on week 1 (damn this is hard...):

Quinn
Gray
Bruggeman
Powe
Bailey/Pitoitua/Gordon -- whoever the 3rd string DE is
Jones
Menzie

That was insanely difficult. And other than Quinn, I hate having them all inactive.

jd1020 · 08-16-2012, 12:38 PM

I wouldn't be surprised to see Wiley inactive.

Me neither, but I think his special teams value is high.

mcaj22 · 08-16-2012, 12:54 PM

that's the thing about the carrying 3 QBs. If you are a homer and honestly believe Stanzi will win the 2 job and suit up every week (which is fine to think) then you have to be realistic and believe there is no way Quinn will be on this team to NOT suit up and be inactive. They will just flat out cut him and give him the benefit of the doubt he lands with another team. That will free up a roster spot easily.

I still think they defer to him as #2 because he's a veteran and Stanzi wont be suiting up and will be on the inactive every week, but that's just me.

It's 8. Teams can only suit up 45 guys.

One more.

I'd probably go with Stephenson, honestly. He's not going to be very helpful anyway if Winston or Albert went down. Dude still has some problems. Jeff Allen would play LT if it were Albert. If it's Winston then... damn... shift Albert over and put in Allen? No clue.

Yup, either Stephenson or Wylie.

The issue isn't roster spots. It would be nice to keep some of those other guys like Bair around, but it's not crucial.

The issue is selecting from the group of guys we have. Carrying Quinn as the 3 takes up one inactive roster spot, which helps us out tremendously. It actually frees us up to suit up Greenwood, Wylie, or another key special teamer.

**RealSNR** · 08-16-2012, 01:00 PM

Honestly, I wouldn't be all that surprised to see Poe get put on the inactive for a few weeks. The dude needs time, and it's far better to do that while Poe is still figuring stuff out than to deny a valuable contributor like Gordon or Country Strong

Yup.

I don't know if I'll be able to stand the freakout from OTW and Clay when it happens, but yup.

Right and do you believe that Quinn left Denver as the #3 to be the Chiefs #3?

i dont buy that at all. Especially if he has any sort of ego to him. I assume he will just asked to be released and I wouldnt blame him.

If Stanzi earns and wins the 2, let him be the 2. Cut Quinn and sign some scrub QB to be on the practice squad. No reason to ever have two QBs on the roster that do the same thing.

We've already got that scrub PS QB on the roster.
