Breaking down the '08 roster

Since we have four months until training camp, I thought it might be fun to look at the positional breakdown for the Titans and make some predictions as to who will finally land on the final 53-man roster.

QB - 2: Young, Collins
RB - 3: White, Henry, C. Johnson
FB - 2: Hall, Cramer
TE - 4: Crumpler, Scaife, Stevens, Blakley
OL - 8: Roos, Stewart, Mawae, Amano, Loper, Harris, Scott, Otto
WR - 8: Gage, R. Williams, P. Williams, B. Jones, Hawkins, McCareins, Davis, Ealy
K - 1: Bironas
P - 1: Miller
DL - 8: KVB, Haynesworth, Brown, Kearse, Fisher, A. Johnson, J. Jones, Hayes
LB - 7: Bulluck, Tulloch, Fowler, Thornton, Amato, Keglar, Stamer
DB - 10: Harper, Finnegan, Hill, Griffin, Hope, Fuller, Lowry, Nickey, C. Williams, Carr, King

Heading into camp, I think we'll see a good battle at WR because Mike Williams may surprise. I don't think B. Jones or Davis are guaranteed anything. And it's always possible another WR could be brought in before camp.

C. Williams may end up on the practice squad if he doesn't do well as a gunner. Nickey and King will be battling for one of those last spots as they seem to each year. Special teams play seems to dictate the final few.

Guys like Cramer or Otto may be upgraded. The Titans may also look to bring in another LB at some point which could shake things up a bit.

Thoughts?

 

The only reason I think Miller was signed is because Hentrich is strongly considering retirement.

 

I write off Cramer every year and the guy manages to hang on. Unless they can get Stevens to handle some of his duties, who backs up Hall?

I assume they won't cut Blakley if they have concerns about the health of Crumpler.

I hope Mike Williams is the pleasant surprise of training camp and the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. But he's not shown anything yet.

 

I guess how Dinger plans on using the FB will have an impact here as well. Hall may see his playing time dwindling soon.
