Going by his history with the Rams, I think what we'll see is:
DBs 10 Gaines, Hill, Roberson, Tru J, Joyner, Alexander, McDonald, Davis, Sensebaugh, ?
LBs 6 Forest, Hagen, Lynch, Akers, Ogletree, Barron
DLs 8 Longacre, Westbrooks, Sims, Hayes, Thomas, Brockers, Donald, Quinn
QBs 3 Goff, Keenum, Mannion
RBs 4 Gurley, Cunningham, Brown, Reynolds
TE's 3 Harkey, Higbee, Kendricks
WRs 6 Britt, Austin, Spruce, Cooper, Marquez, Smith
OL 10 GRob, Saffold, Barnes, Brown, Havenstein, Williams, Reynolds, Wichman, Battle, Rhaney
STs 3 Hekker, GZ, McQuaid
Granted, if there is a player that is just too good not to keep, we could see some numbers shuffling.
Well...
In the spirit that we're all agreed that this is clearly premature and that this is just for a fun exercise, I will play.
And I'm gonna use candidate play vs Cowboys for any tiebreakers.
I have the following different takes...
DB. I would include Bryant at S. And Sensabaugh might be vulnerable at CB based on that Cowboy game. Probably not, but Hill, Washington, and Jordan have impressed more, IMO.
DL. Delete Thomas. Add Easley and Coples. Seau probably goes to PS.
RB. This is the end of the trail for Chase Reynolds, I'm afraid. Green makes it as our 4th RB and on ST.
TE. They might go with 4 here. Stoneburner? Hemingway to PS? I just dunno.
WR. Britt, Austin, Spruce, and Cooper look like locks. After that it's a tough, tough call. But based on the Cowboy game, I lean toward Williams and McRoberts. Tough cuts for Thomas and Marquez.
OL. This one is very, very difficult. Firstly, they may go with only 9, not 10. And Rhaney is out and Kush is in. If they go with only 9, Battle is probably going to PS.
I agree with all the rest.
Mind you, this could all be turned upside down by future camp reports and preseason game play. Particularly at OL, WR, TE, CB, and S.
But like I said, it's just a strictly fun exercise for right now.
DB - I agree with you on Bryant at S. I believe he is running with the 2nd unit. They signed Sensabaugh for $5 mil. + so there is no way he is cut. I hated his signing from the minute I heard about it but we are stuck with him for a few years.
RB - You may very well be right on this being the end for Chase Reynolds but I must point out that you have been predicting his demise for a few years now. Reynolds versus Green or Brown is a tough choice.
Something to consider that may be close to what Fisher is thinking. If they cut Reynolds, it’s more likely that Marquez isn’t cut and vice versa. Both of those guys were ST aces last year and given Fisher’s emphasis on STs, it’s very unlikely that both get cut at the same time.
I really believe we have to look deeper at other important criteria such as ST’s and blocking.
WR - Speaking of blocking and looking deeper, that’s another reason why I believe Quick will make the roster. He’s their best blocking WR by far. And he’s the one who made the tackle and forced fumble after Goff’s interception. Little things like that are important and will factor in.
OL – In the battle between Battle and Williams, do you recall from camp reports who is getting 1st team reps, 2nd team reps? I’m wondering who’s ahead on the depth chart and not sure both make it.
