Final 53: I think that is about right

[RugbyMuffin]

http://blog.azcardinals.com/2012/08/29/a-guess-at-the-53-2/

Choice #1:
LaRon Byrd, DeMarco Sampson, or an extra lineman. Meaning Byrd or Sampson, and an extra offensive lineman, or both WR's and 8 offensive lineman (Nate Potter to P.S.)

My Opinion:
You keep LaRon Byrd, and Sampson. You have problems at tackle but is Nate Potter THAT good? Is DJ Young still worth keeping around? You keep Bridges, Ohrnberger and Kelemete, IMO. Next year you have Levi Brown, Batiste, and Massie as your tackles on paper. Why keep a OT that never gets on the field?


Choice #2
Alfonso Smith vs. William Powell

My Opinion
Powell is the better all around athlete and football player. On a race on the track Alfonso Smith wins the race but on a football field Powell is a better special teams player, can play more roles on special teams, and has better vision and quickness at RB


Choice #3
Quentin Groves vs. Brandon Williams

My Opinion:
Personally I question keeping Haggans but he is in. After that I would go with Quetin Groves. To me it is a no brainer. Maybe his Madden moxie rating is a 3 or something but while Brandon Williams looks solid, Groves looks like a NFL athlete. Groves is quick, fast, and strong. I think he is worth the small risk with bigger rewards then Williams. Also, like Smith vs. Powell, Groves looks like the better athlete.


Cornerback
Jefferson vs. Adams

My Opinion
Adams lost his spot when Bethel, Powell, Sampson(?), & LSH showed they are just as good or better on special teams. Adams is a good story and will be on an NFL team this year. BUT Adams did NOT show more than Jefferson or Toler this offseason and the fact is Toler and Jefferson have started in the NFL for the Cardinals. You don't cut those players for the sake of M.Adams.

That's it.

Reggie Walker has run away with the final ILB position, so that competition is over IMO

I sure hope it's Groves over Williams at OLB.

I agree with all your remarks. I've been a fan of Byrd and Powell since early in Training Camp. Groves has solidified his position on the team AHEAD of Haggans though. Walker has beasted and definitely stepped up his play.

 

[BigRedRage]

notice urban had skelton as 1 and kolb as 2?

 

[Garthshort]

Rugby, I agree with EVERYTHING you said. As to an extra WR versus an extra OL, you go with your best 53, and that's six WR's. FYI, Somers has Adams over Jefferson, while Urban has it the other way.

Interesting, I guess it would have been interesting if it had Kolb as 1 as well, but less interesting since it has always been that way. Then again Darren probably doesn't know anything extra, I guess that is just his own opinion.

Agree....read this last night and it's the only thing I'd change

Alphabetical by name:

John Skelton, Kevin Kolb, Ryan Lindley

Yeah I think I go with Groves also. He appears to have more upside than Williams.

This team hasn't been shy about picking up a player or two after roster cuts the past couple of years - Cyril Obiozor two years ago and the CBs Butler and Linsday (I think that was his name) last year.

I wouldn't be at all shocked if they picked up a player or two off of the waiver wire.

But, at #13 the pickings are slim.

Prefer a trade at this point.

Somers' list is a little different, including the first negative review I've heard about Kelemete.

 

[desertdawg]

I like Groves too.

S Skelton or Dray? Or neither?

I think S Skelton has seen more action and made more plays in preseason than Dray.

But the Cards may feel that S Skelton would be easier to slip past waivers onto the PS.

I do think we keep one or the other as an H-Back/backup FB.

Start JOHN Skelton, line up his brother on the L Side with our questionable LT and tell him to protect his brother...good to go

I think its a given the Dray has the job.

If it were my call I would cut Heap for Skelton

Dray adds nothing to the team. He's the Bernard Wilson of the 2010's.

Agreed. Hope Skelton is kept over Dray.

LOL! Give Steve #64, put him at LT and tell him he is solely responsible for protecting his brother's blindside.

Then again, if there is some serious sibling rivalry going on, he might let a few pass rushers come unabated.

 

[BigRedRage]

skelton has outplayed dray.

 

[PJ1]

skelton has outplayed dray.

Think so too but Skelton didn't help his case last night. That said I never see Dray do anything.

 

[Chopper0080]

CBs

Peterson
Gay
Flemming

Toler?
Adams?
Jefferson?

I would put in a claim for Joselio Hanson as a NB, and let Gay and Flamming battle for the #2 CB spot. Then keep Toler.
