Early Attempt at Final Roster

[ETL]

Offense (26 players)
QB (3): Roethlisberger, Leftwich, Dixon
RB (3): Mendenhall, Moore, (Dwyer or Redman)
FB (1): Summers
WR(6): Ward, Wallace, Sanders, Battle, Randle El and (Grisham, Stefan Logan or Antonio Brown)
TE(3): Miller, Spaeth, Johnson
OT (4): Starks, Adams, Scott, Foster
OG(4): Kemoeatu, Essex, Pouncey, Urbik
C(2): Hartwig, Legursky

Defense (24 players)
NT (2): Hampton, Hoke
DT (4): Smith, Hood, Keisel, (Eason or Worthington)
OLB(4): Harrison, Woodley, Worilds, Gibson
ILB(4): Timmons, Foote, Farrior, Sylvester
CB (6): Taylor, McFadden, Gay, Lewis, Burnett, Butler
S (4) Polamau, Clark, Allen, Mundy

Special Teams (3 player)
Reed, Sepulveda, Warren

Last position battles are in parentheses.

Some past Roster players who I expect to get dropped: Fox, Bailey, Frazier, Madison, Tony Hill, Sean McHugh and Charlie Batch (when Ben comes back)

One scenario that i think can happen is Farrior getting cut or Burnett getting cut and us keeping both Dwyer and Redman as RBs.

keyaron fox is definitely making the team, hes one of our best special teams players, if not the best. plus he is a great backup at mlb. i also think we will have 4 rbs, not 3. 3 is too little, especially if were emphasizing the run.

How can we take you seriously when you earnestly think James Farrior will get cut?

[pete74]

farrior will not be cut. no way. i would love to see redman make the team and get some carries this season

[The Lakelander]

They will keep only 5 WR's in my opinion and 4 RB's .... Redman and Dwyer both should make this team.

They may keep only 9 O-Linemen ... Tomlin stresses position flexibility. That means to me that Legursky, Foster and Essex are more valuable than Hartwig, Urbik and Hills. I'm wondering if Urbik can be placed once again on the practice squad?

[Tone's Toes]

Offense (25 players)
QB (3): Roethlisberger, Leftwich, Dixon
RB (4): Mendenhall, Moore, Dwyer & Redman
FB (1): Summers
WR(6): Ward, Wallace, Sanders, Battle, Randle El and Antonio Brown
TE(3): Miller, Spaeth, Johnson
OT (4): Starks, Adams, Scott, Foster
OG(3): Kemoeatu, Essex, Pouncey,
C(1): Hartwig,

I think they only keep 1 center since Pouncey can slide over to play center if Hartwig gets hurt. Essex and Foster can both play G & T. I think they're versatile enough to only need 8 O-Lineman this year.

Not sure they'll keep Summers. Johnson does a lot of the lead blocking type of stuff from what I hear. I could see them dumping Summers, but I'll stay with the safer pick for now and say they'll keep a true FB like Summers.

I think they may keep an extra RB this year given the uncertainty at the position, especially the depth.

Defense (25 players)
NT (2): Hampton, Hoke
DT (4): Smith, Hood, Keisel, (Eason, Harris or Worthington)
OLB(4): Harrison, Woodley, Worilds, Gibson
ILB(5): Timmons, Foote, Farrior, Fox, Sylvester
CB (6): Taylor, McFadden, Gay, Lewis, Burnett, Butler
S (4) Polamau, Clark, Allen, Mundy

Special Teams (3 player)
Reed, Sepulveda, Warren

I think they keep an extra MLB for special teams. Maybe keep 1 less D-Lineman CB or S than last year to make room for that. I went with 1 less D-Line.

I like this one better, but would like to see Logan make it one more year and put Brown on PS.
