53 man roster for opening day

[coldrolled]

hes definitely better than batch at this point, they really need to move on from batch. offer him a coaching position or something sure, but he needs to not be on the field.

the tannehill argument doesnt really mean anything, tannehill was a converted WR

Batch to Special teams coach. JJ to #2

Tannehill is a first round pick?? JJ would have been

[tburg68]

I hope they cut Hampton, B Batch, Worilds.

JJ can go to practice squad until C Batch or Leftwitch break a hip.

To the two people who actually listed all 53 players, I find it incredibly hard to believe that six running backs would make the roster. Baron Batch i probably headed to the practice squad, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Will Johnson there either, although Johnson has a better chance of making the real roster what with DJ's knee exploding.

as long as Jerrod Johnson keeps playing like he did last week, we HAVE to keep him...I feel more comfortable with batch in there behind ben, than lefty (never been a huge lefty fan)

K (1): Hrapmann

I love Hrapmann.
He has been kicking great!
How does he get so much leg being so little?
Hrapmann is also a punter!
His size is prolly gonna be what keeps him outta the NFL.
He is listed at 5'9" and 164 pounds, which is microscopic for the NFL.
Yeh, I know he is only a kicker, but the NFL has big kickers!

I never liked Suisham because of his spotty FG kicking in the post-season.
He would be a fine kicker for a team that didn't make the playoffs much.
At least Suisham is not afraid to tackle (unlike Reed who did everything possible to avoid tackling.)

Here is Hrapmann with Ray Guy:

Yikes!, didn't realize Hrapmann was that size. Memories of "Rudy" right there. Still, guys like Garo Ypremian were never giants and got the ball thorough the uprights.

[Zachintosh66]

hey if he can kick, he can kick...

hey dont have to make tackles, just slow them up enough for someone to catch them. But with a changing of the guard at ST coach, this wont be a problem, right?

[Zachintosh66]

i didnt watch the game but i was listening to WDVE online and they said 4 guys on the team have been on every STs so far this preseason (K/KR/P/PR): Allen, Mundy, B. Johnson (those dont surprise me) and M. Ivy (that one did).

Might lend a hand into who makes the squad. We kind of figured the first 3 would make it, they have made their names and careers in the STs game. Mundy prolly has the best chance of being a starter someday. Allen started young, but has been strickly STs for quite a few years now. B. Johnson used to be the Bungals STs Captain.

Just an interesting tid-bit and thought I would share
