    This makes a lot of sense IMO. This is a team that needs playmakers on the offense and Coffman/Supernaw VASTLY outplayed Nicks and Mcbride who were invisible in the preseason. Even Mcluster (besides the dropped touchdown of course) looked like a potent weapon at times. Things will shuffle a bit for sure but if we were keeping our BEST 53, I dont see anyone cut who is better than what we kept. Numbers at each position be damned.

    Yeah, I don't have an issue keeping the best 53 and then making adjustments accordingly after sifting through the other teams' cuts.

    Definitely special teams players. Mcbride and Richardson will probably be on practice squad as will be Pohels . They can be called up.

    My biggest concern is injury.....if one WR goes down we are then absolutely counting on Hunter to produce. Not a good bet in my book. He looks the part, but never seems to be able to catch the damn ball.

    I agree Coffman & Supernaw earned a spot, but at times you have to do what makes sense and make a tough cut. Those two guys made some great plays during PS games, but I think 5 TE's is just too much. Maybe our former TE/HC is over valuing the position. I would rather see Craig S. cut than the other two really.

    Kinda shocked that Mike Martin made it as well. I like the kid, but he has not given much production. We could of used that spot for more depth in positions where we clearly need it more......like Oline or WR......with as many injuries as we saw on the oline, and schwienke going down at least once a year; you would think it would be a bigger priority.

    Hopefully they are looking at oline on the waiver wire.....

    No initial problems with the guys chosen here. We're not done with the final roster yet.

    Martin maybe cut when Hill comes back. Numbers where players are hurt Mcourty, hill, etc. don't think we are through tweaking our roster.

    I am very interested in seeing if they really use all 6 fb/tes a lot. Maybe this is dew to our bad oline play over the years. All of these guys are decent or good blockers. We've seen all of them but the rookies show big play ability at the pro level. I'll say at least we should have one hell of a short yardage set.
