Cajun’s 53-man Roster: post game 3 w/commentary

QB- Ben, Mason Dobbs
.......Dobbs back on & Hodges off. Dobbs is fire & ice, Great one snap then sucks the next
RB- Connor,Samuels,Snell.... so far not impressed with smell but keeping him for now ... Edmunds&Williams have failed to make their case to replace him
WR- JuJu, Moncrief, D. Johnson, Washington, Switzer, D. Spencer
...... Switzer is reliable as a returner and has the coaches trust. Spencer is just scary, every play he has a chance to break it which leaves Eli out looking in.
OL- AV,Foster, Pouncey, DD, Feiler, Finney, Banner, Fred Johnson, Okafor ..... keeping Chuks for now
TE- McDonald, Gentry & Grimble.... for now but don’t be surprised if someone is replaced from outside the team...

Note: Only one team ran the ball less than Pittsburgh which is why I’m cutting Nix. I like using a FB and I like Nix, but his ST skills can be replaced so I’m keeping an Extra WR who is dangerous weapon.

DL- Heyward, Tuitt, Hargrave, Alualu, Buggs & Big Dan..... Big D is playing his best football.
OLB- TJ, Dupree, Ola, Skipper, Chick.....
Skipper has made a case to stay and I’m keeping Chick only because of his experience
ILB- Bush, Barron, Vince, Matakevich, Gilbert ...... Bush is going to be a stud, Gilbert is a diamond in the rough .... Vince is probably in his last year.....
CB- Haden, Burns, Nelson, Layne, Sutton, Hilton, keeping Burns reluctantly
Safety- Davis, Kelley, Edmunds, Dangerfield ....Kelley has made the roster. Dangerfield over Allen due to ST
K- Boswell
P- Berry
LS- Canaday

PS- TE Christian Scotland-Williamson .. OL, Patrick Morris , DL- Mondeaux , ILB- Robert Spillane , OLB- Sutton Smith, Safety- Marcus Allen, RB- Malik Williams & T. Edmunds, WR- Trey Griffey, Holton QB- Hodges......

Looks legit.

 

I hope we keep Robert Spillane at least on the practice squad. He was busting people up last night.

 

Our tight end position sucks. Can’t complain though

 

McDonald is great it’s just the after bodies lol

 

Agreed, I like what I’ve seen so far. Maybe a year on the PS and see what he does next year!!!

Cajun

 

I live for ya to trade for a TE comparable to McDonald. He hasn’t proven to be durable plus a very good Two TE set is dangerous.

Cajun

 

Honestly though if they're hell bent on running out of shotgun formation a lot on short yardage situations what value is Nix? Love the kid but they ain't using him much... more so scenario wise. Need to mix the packages up get more backs on the field together... They keep flirting with it in news stories but I'll believe it when I see it.

 

Switzer was brought in to make plays in the return game and he has not produced, need someone to flip the field so he's gone Johnson is the guy and I keep Eli, he's a chain mover.

 

I’ve said it a million times .... the FB is always open... nobody covers the FB anymore it seems and one with solid hands is valuable, if you use him.... Our offense rarely does.

Also it seems all the backs we’ve played this preseason had done outstanding in blocking and picking up the blitz. As much as I like him I don’t think ST is enough.

He’ll make the final 53..... But as of now I wouldn’t keep him unless I knew the offense would definitely use him more than they did last year.

Cajun

 

You know I’m not cutting The Great Dirty Red!!!

Cajun

 

Eli is a reliable outlet but Switzer has passed him and the staff trust him more in the return game.

Cajun

 

No FB? That's a bold strategy cotton. They just gave him a contract last year I believe? No way he doesn't make it. Maybe Dirty red finally goes.

 

He’s signed thru 2021 to a cap friendly contract..... if cut this year it’s almost 400k in savings..... next year even more......

They won’t cut him this year and probably won’t use him on offense either except on rare occasions.

Cajun

 

Dirty Diaper?

 

Keep nix, nix one of the tight ends.

 

Kelley is an easy keep......
Keeping Gilbert is a luxury I’d like to have but he may be the easiest to get to he PS.
Skipper has zero ST value which hurts but he’s flashed enough that if he’s cut some team will snatch him up.

Cajun

 

If Ola goes back in the IR this year; does that mean you can keep both Skipper and Gilbert to start the season?
