Cajun's precamp roster predictions

OFFENSE:

QB- Ben Roethlisberger , Landry Jones, Bruce Gradkowski
Note---- pretty much set in stone

RB- Le'Veon Bell, Deangleo Williams, Fitz Toussaint
Note----- also set in stone, Fitz should develop into a good NFL RB

FB- Roosevelt Nix

TE- Ladarius Green, Jesse James, Xavier Grimble
NOTE!!-- No David Johnson aand Spaeth time has come to an end. Neither are receiving threats and Villa ( assuming Harris wins LT ) can play blocking TE

WR- Antonio Brown, Markus Wheaton, Sammie Coates, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Eli Rodgers
Note- Eli should win the 5th and final Wr Spot and possibly Returner. Shakim Phillips shoild be his top competition and Ayers is among the final cuts

OL- Ryan Harris, Ramon Foster, Maurkice Pouncey, David DeCastro, Marcus Gilbert, Alejandro Villeneuva, Jerald Hawkins, Cody Wallace, BJ Finney
Note--- This could have been different, Hubbard played ok when called upon last year. He can also play C but so can Finney. They should keep Finney but Wallace might lose out but as of now he's in.

DEFENSE-----

DL- Stephon Tuitt, Cameron Heyward, Dan McCullers, Javon Hargrave, Ricardo Mathews, LT Walton..
NOTE-- I see this no other way right now

DB-- Artie Burns,CB- Senquez Golson,CB- Ross Cockrell,CB- William Gay, CB- Donald Washington,CB- Doran Grant,S/CB- Sean Davis, S/CB-, Mike Mitchell, FS- Robert Golden,SS- Shamarko Thomas,SS

LB-- James Harrison, Bud Dupree, Jarvis Jones, Arthur Moats, Anthony Chickillo, Ryan Shazier, Lawrence Timmons, Vince Williams, Steven Johnson, Tyler Matakevich
NOTE--- I think right now the OLB are set but a real battle looms inside between Zumwalt, Fort and Matakevich. Travis Freeney is a bit lite for OLB in the 3-4. Maybe he shifts jnside or stays outside in our 4-3 and/or subpackages, ????

Specialists- Chris Boswell,K- Will Monday ,P- Greg Warren,LS---

Practise Sqaud--- LBers Travis Freeney, Jordan Zumwalt, LJ Fort.... WRs Shakim Phillips & Levi Norwood... RB Cameron Stingily, TE Paul Lang, DE Caushaud Lyons, S Jordan Dangerfield, QB Dustin Vaughan......
NOTE---- That's right, I kept a QB on the PS!!!!!!!

What say you Steeler Nation????

Cajun-

 

I think they should keep 6 WR'S and carry just 2 QB"S...I know they won't but I see no need to keep Landry Jones .I would rather him go any day than Phillips or Rogers. i think both of those 2 have good futures in the NFL...

 

I don't think Harris wins he wasn't Denver's starter going into the season and got the job duebto injury. Right now I think he woulhero soundly beat AV out to get the starting job.

 

Honestly between Harris and AV the better performer wins and the other is the swing OT and I'm fine with however it plays out.

We all know they're going to keep 3 QB, I have in the past promoted keeping only 2, but this year we have a SB contending team and I don't trust Ben playing healthy for all the games and don't trust Landry or Gradkowski to carry us if Ben is out for an extended time.

Now if we keep only 2 QB then Landry would be the guy at this point and the extra roster spot would go to one of the PS LB to help ST.

YoU are probably right, I Just don't think Jones can win if Ben was to go down .I still hope we find another QB who is better to back Ben up .. My thoughts are we might as well keep the best blocking WR and get them coached up on route running so if Ben is in they will have value and if Ben is out they would probably have more value...

No Ben just go Big WR set and pony and try to run the ball anywhere and everywhere . i trust that approach much more than either of our bu QB"S ...

 

Feeney vs. Matakeivch is really going to be interesting. Granted.. neither play the same position.. but both are "gunning" for special teams.

 

LOLandry fooled me once and made me say nice things about him. I tell youns guys right now
If I ever see LOLandry in a BEAR fight, I will help the DAMN BEAR

 

That n' at.

With that said, I think AV has a bunch of upside he will continue to grow into. Harris is pretty much what we asked for when we signed him.

 

AV's great but I like that they brought Harris in too. It wasn't that long ago that we didn't have viable back ups.

Better now & here's to keeping Munch as long as possible.

 

LJ will be the backup this year to Ben, his QB coach has nothing but praise for LJs progression and his hard work to be the best backup in the game and his desire to play will only increase this year and he is the best option for us now and in the future.....

 

Not a big fan of LJ or his style for this team but you maybe right that he's the best option as back up at this point in time. He knows the system, guys, coaches and has felt the heat, which appears to be the important part of the equation IMHO.

That release he has is crazy, good, bad and the ugly.Yeah, I think you're right, he's our best option going forward.

 

Should be interesting for sure , add in Fort & Zumwalt and St may be even better, which is something I didn't think I was going to say after losing both Garvin & Spence in FA.

Let the Competition Begin!!!!

 

I am going into camp watching the OL, LB, cb and safety positions. I think there is competition at these
positions and some suprises may come out of these battles.

 

He does hold the clipboard like no other. As for actually playing, eh, the Broncos won the Superbowl with Brister starting a few games.
