The Right Fifty Three
 

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
Wylie, Devon
Copper, Terrance
Horne, Jeremy

TE
Moeaki, Tony
Boss, Kevin
Maneri, Steve

OL
Albert, Brandon
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

S
Berry, Eric
Lewis, Kendrick
Elam, Abram
Daniels, Travis

P
Colquitt, Dustin

K
Succop, Ryan

We'll only keep 6 WRs

You forgot Thomas Gafford.

Sheffield is an OLB.

Horne sucks.

Yep, other than the above it looks fine.

shane bannon sucks too no way he makes it

Hemingway > Horne


Mark it down

And take out Bannon and put another DB in there.

So...we'll have a team without a fullback?

just because he's the only notable named fullback doesnt mean he automatically wins it by default

there are other guys they are trying at the position, especially if you watched the first preseason game. I expect the same in game 2. They will form a decision by the end of game 4 on what sort of hybrid player they can carry at FB/H-Back/TE/etc

Horne isn't making it, and Bannon is no guarantee, either.

The 610 guys were actually making a good argument to us keeping only 2 QBs yesterday, freeing up a spot for another DB, LB, or OL.

Good list. Tell ENDelt we all said hi.

i also thought about the only keeping 2 QBs thing lol

lol......3 OLBs?

He has Sheff. listed as an ILB

Not bad. I think Bellamy makes the team though.

Hmmm.... Like this.

QB: Cassel, Stanzi, Quinn
RB: Charles, Hillis, Draughn, Gray
FB: Eachus

WR: Bowe, Baldwin, Breaston, McCluster, Wylie, Copper
TE: Moeaki, Boss, Maneri

LT: Albert, Stephenson
LG: Lilja, Allen
C: Hudson, Bruggeman
RG: Asamoah, Allen
RT: Winston, Stephenson

DE: Dorsey, Gordon, Bailey
DT: Toribio, Powe, Poe
DE: Jackson, Pitoitua

OLB: Hali, Sheffield
ILB: Belcher, Siler
ILB: Johnson, Greenwood
OLB: Houston, Jones

CB: Flowers, Routt, Arenas, Daniels, Brown
S: Berry, Lewis, Elam, Menzie

K: Succop
P: Colquitt
LS: Gafford

AHHHHHH.

I had to cut Bair to make room.

Studebaker's making the team dude.

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?

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.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Wiley inactive.

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

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.

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.

MARK CASTLE?!?!?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I MADE FUN OF MARK CASTLE

I was thinking trick shot, but w/e.

Q: Why will Matt Cassel never get a job as a road construction worker?

A: People still remember the last time he graded out perfectly

"Dumbass making dumbass catch-phrase" for $500.00, Alex?

You guys don't think draft choice Jerome Long makes the team? Practice squad?

He's the reason why you have a practice squad.

He's a very good project to undertake.

I'm thinking Wylie will be the punt returner.

Over Arenas? Doubt it.

Wylie better be a damn good kick returner, bouncing McCluster from sharing those duties with Arenas, or he's likely to end up inactive.

Copper and Studebaker may be on the bubble.

7 WR? LMAO

I wasn't sure where Wylie was looking good. punts or kickoff

Dude, both our fullbacks suck

Eauchus or whatever (45?) played like an asshat last week.

Wrong.

Both will make the team. If anything both kickass in ST.

Looks good,

but I see you didn't list a QB

6 WR's
Bowe
Baldwin
Breaston
McCluster
Wylie
Copper (prob won't get much playing time on offense, but he is a stud on ST)

Copper makes this team hes on the 2nd team offense in preseason for goodness sake. lol

Go **** your mother

Eachus helped spring Hillis on his long run in the 2nd drive.

Eachus has some game.

I imagine the Chiefs could be hunting for a FB when cuts come, however.

The awesome power of Fap Slapple demands it!

I bet we get one of the Rams guys. Or try to anyway. Brit Miller and Mughelli are both good.

Why do some hate Copper and Studebaker? Copper is really good on special teams. He also gets more playing time than you think. He has been like the Travis Daniels of offense. He's a solid player. Studebaker is the same when way. He's great on special teams and good when he plays in games. Neither one of them are going anywhere.

Always the cheerful one!

QB
Cassel, Matt
Quinn, Brady

S
Berry, Eric
Lewis, Kendrick

P

Practice Squad:

Stanzi, Ricky QB
Miller, Gabe OLB
Hemingway, Junior WR
Long, Jerome DE
Thorpe, Neiko CB
Patterson, Luke C
Harris, Darryl G
Eachus, Nate RB/FB

Harris is ineligible for the practice squad, and it's not a big ****ing deal to take up a roster spot with a 3rd QB. Teams need to inactivate 8 players anyway. May as well burn one on the 3rd QB so others can have a chance to get snaps.

No way old D-Wash makes this team. He's been a figment of the imagination all preseason. I think he's gone and we go with some your guy like Hartman, although none of them have looked very good. We might even sign a safety post camp cuts...maybe...
