[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 567119"] Relative to your list: I would add Myles White as a 6th. wide receiver. I've been in the minority in liking this guy since last preseason. To my eye he's the best route runner after the top #3, he's got 4.4 speed, decent hands; versatility at both slot and wide out; and long speed for kick coverage. Janis iced a job, of course...the TD and getting separation on the deep ball pass interference play were impressive; the fake he made to break that KO return was icing on the cake replete with a McCarthy's "wow" look. I believe Linsley showed enough so that putting Tretter on IR with the option to return should not set anybody's hair on fire. However, having no backup center, with Sitton or Lang filling in if Linsley were injured, is objectionable to me. Gerhardt might actually make the roster if Tretter goes to IR particularly if they believe they can't sneak him back on PS; the PS spot would make the wince-worthy move of Sitton or Lang to center just a partial-game mess. I'd think they'll drop Stoneburner and keep Ryan Taylor for his special teams cred and versatility as a serviceable H-back and in-line TE. If it were up to me, I'd dump Quarless (see my closing comments about possible "surprise cuts"). I agree with your D-Line except Thornton's injury looked like it might be serious. If so, I'm going with Luther Robinson edging out Gray if Thornton heads to IR. This is the one position group where I think Thompson might try to go outside for a vet after cut downs in lie of Robinson or Gray. Guion looked gassed by the second series...it looks like it will take a couple of weeks before he's ready for anything but spot duty and there's not much experience in this group. At the OLB position, I think Hubbard showed enough tonight to edge out Mulumba who was my prior choice. Every time I think Mulumba is going to make the next step he has a game where he's all over the place. The question is how serious Hubbard's injury might be. There's not alot to separate these guys so "availability" might be the deciding factor. I need to drop one player from your list to open a spot for Myles White. Regrettably, I think it will be Rolle. He looks to have a future, but the CB group is deep and versatile. I provide the following caveat: My top candidate for a surprise cut would be Quarless, though it should not be that big of a surprise. I don't see where he adds anything at all vs. Rodgers and Bostick and it looks like he's lost his starting job anyway. To my eye, the talk about Quarless having improved his blocking is just that, talk. Keeping just 3 TEs would hardly be unheard of in the NFL, McCarthy's habit of keeping a bunch of TE/H-back/FB types notwithstanding. With Lacy's preference for running out of single-back, McCarthy could change his mind about the need. That would open a spot for Rolle. Otherwise, Stoneburner might just steal Quarless' job.
