When did we carry 8?

In 2018 I think. Is there a way to check week by week 53 man rosters?

Something to keep in mind when plotting out your 53. Desai is expected to play a lot of three-safety sets. Maybe they can get by with 4 and carry a 5th on the PS.

We can go light at LB since we only have two true LB positions on the team, but we’re still going to be heavy at edge (Graham, Reddick, Sweat, Barnett, Smith and possibly one of Johnson/Robinson). 

5 WRs and 3 TEs also helps.

Ourlads has a month to month archive.

Yep. Keep Kelly and Andrews on the PS. 

I was thinking similar but with Sills and Opeta to the PS and Andrews as the #8 OL.  Although, considering the roster guarantee, perhaps your take, ala the punter thought process and Covey last year, makes sense.

This is where I'm at after the game

QB (3): Hurts, Mariota, McKee. I am a better QB than Ian Book.

RB (4): Swift, Penny, Gainwell and Scott. They gave Scott over $1mm guaranteed, and they know him. Sermon hopefully sneaks to the PS.

WR (5): Brown, Smith, Watkins, Zaccheus, Covey. Everyone gets hyped about the longshot WRs every camp, but a couple of them will clear waivers.

TE (3): Goedert, Stoll and Calcaterra. No surprises here.

OL (9): Mailata, Dickerson, Kelce, Jurgens, Johnson, Steen, Sills, Andrews, Driscoll. Sills being cleared spells the end of Opeta, who likely ends up on the PS.

Total Offense: 24

DE (3): Sweat, Graham, Barnett. Barnett's contract restructure guaranteed his spot.

DT (6): Cox, Davis, Williams, Carter, Ojomo, Tuipoloto. Can't cut any of these guys, and we went 6 deep at DT last year.

SLB (3):  Reddick, Smith, P. Johnson. I want to keep K. Johnson for ST, but just no room.

ILB (4): Dean, Morrow, Jack, Ellis. Before this game, I thought Morrow was in trouble. Now, looks like he is set and Cunningham is gone.

CB (6): Slay, Bradberry, Maddox, Jobe, McPhearson, Ringo. Gotta hope Ricks makes it to the PS.

S (4): Blankenship, Edmunds, Brown, Wallace. I'd consider cutting Wallace to keep Ricks, because I think better chance K'Von clears waivers. But I think team keeps him.

Total Defense: 26

Lovato, Siposs, Elliott

I don't think they would cut Wallace to make room for Ricks.  I am not sure that Morrow makes the team over Cunningham. No one seemed to stand out at LB.

That's both snarky and the truth.  Purdy  

I hear @vikas83 is available at QB.  Could be what they need to get them over the top.

Nick Foles is on 97.5 right now discussing the 2017 SB run.

Before the game I had Cunningham over Morrow. Morrow/Jack/Cunningham -- I think 2 of the 3 make it, and it is completely fluid.

I think Morrow & one will make it.  But as I said earlier both Jack & Cunningham were playing 6 days after joining the team from the street so I would expect Morrow to play better on that day. We'll see this week

They could save a few roster spots making 1 trade for a LB

Damn - Michael Oher must have already blown through all his $ from his playing days

If you had to trade 1, who would it be? And what do you think their value is? 

Before you get your panties in a bunch, this is hypothetical. 

But I think Sweat would be the most likely trade candidate and could fish a 2nd rounder. Barnett isn’t worth it and I think Williams is more valuable than what we’d get for him.

Yep. Another absurdly deep position, and Ojomo gets dibs as a draft pick.

Why would you trade one of their best DE for a 2nd? If Barnett isn't worth it cut his ass before you made a trade like that.

Barnett.  His value is freeing up his number for someone else to wear.

I think that’s easy. 5 DT. Cox, Davis, Carter, Williams, Ojomo.  
 

Maybe Street will have some draft pick trade value   

 

I think Ojomo makes the team, the Eagles always overvalue their own picks. It's the only reason Gainwell seems in line to be the #1 RB right now. Because he's not even close to as talented as Swift or Penny. And it's the only reason Wallace is still on the roster.

I think Marlon T is making it. We need a backup nose.

Shouldn’t this be easy? If we have to trade one.  Tarron Jackson.  2026 7th.

I think he can make it to the PS

Maybe, but with Gannon and Rallis now in Arizona, that’s no sure thing. 

OFF TOPIC:

Someone made a social media post accusing Tampa Ray's Wander Franco of having sexual relations with a minor and Tampa put him on a restricted list pending investigation. I think this sets a terrible precedent in sports. If he was criminally charged like Josh Sills was, that would be a different story. Because that would indicate law enforcement has enough evidence for the DA to bring charges. And even then in Josh Sills' case, he was acquitted.

But done via a mere social media post? This opens the door for any nut to just make something up and post it online and get them kicked off their team. What's to stop some troll right before a playoff game accusing Patrick Mahomes of sexually assaulting them in a bathroom? Or accusing Lebron James of something right before a playoff series?

Unless you have sufficient evidence, I say athletes should be allowed to continue to play. And if the investigation finds the accusations are true, then you remove them from the team. Nothing is lost though by allowing them to continue to play, if the accusations are true the damage is already done. But if they aren't true and you removed them from the team, much is lost.

Should always give the benefit of the doubt to the accused minus sufficient evidence.
