that looks close....and i'm glad someone else is already thinking about that only 53 members will make the team....and 5 on practice squad of course. i do think that Gibbs will have 3 qbs tho, Lott will be kept..he adds great depth...for corner or safety. Fiore...thats a toss up, but you saying he's gone is interesting. Sellers won't make the team...R. Brown may not make it as well....and honestly...even tho i like the guy...Rasby may be gona too...it's worth whatever signing bonus they gave him for other TE and H-backs to see his abilities and work ethics..to learn from. so i say Sellers or Rasby gone...gives room for 3rd Qb and R Brown may be gone...or we may just go with 3 DTs....with all the LBs we will have to have room for Lott. other than that...which is just my opinion...i think you did a great job...this could very well be our 53, but i know Gibbs won't come into a season with only 3 Qbs.....great job!!

I think that DT we picked up Joe Salavea will make the team.

I hope not!!!





lol, j/k[/img]

All those runningbacks won't make the team. There will probably be another lineman, whether it be one of the draft picks or Fiore...

Tupa is our 3rd QB

You list 5 running backs but only count 4. One has to go.

Other than that, seems like it's reasonable.

Are you leaving two DL spots open for after June 1st?

I didn't want to double count Morton as I have him as one of the 4 Special Teamers. Yes, I think we will look at the waiver wire after 6/1. Why? Because this year a ton of DTs were drafted in the first 3 rounds and they will "push out" a number of more expensive DTs that we can pick up on the cheap.

What about Fiore?
I think that Hasselbeck will be our third QB.

Fiore will most likely retire due to his knees. Tupa will be our 3rd QB.

I think we'll definitely go after some 6/1 cuts for the Dline. I've had a feeling for a while they're targeting some 6/1 people. I think our D is way better already than last year (improved with personnel but vastly improved with personnel and this coaching staff). I think we'll be a little surprised by what Williams and co will do with this team.

Tupa's our punter. Tim Hasselbeck is our #3 QB.

Maybe, maybe not. Tupa is a QB who is a very good punter. He also is a very good holder. I like Haselback but I like Tupa better. Especially when we have Ramsey waiting in the wings and since Tupa fills 3 roles while taking only 1 spot on the roster.

I expect Trung to be released to save 900K also Larry Moore will be released to save 1.3 mil!

Tupa's had quite a bit of experience playing QB

He's started 13 games, and has attempted 504 passes as a quarterback during his career, completing 259. The whole idea of using ey as the LS and Tupa as a 3rd string QB is to have more depth in other places, but Gibbs has already pretty much said Hasselbeck is the 3rd man.

Tupa's days as a quarterback are long over. He'll be the emergency guy, Hasselbeck is the third quarterback...

I never knew Tupa was a QB.

I'll go with that, he's 38... I like Hasslebeck anyway

He was, he just wasn't a good one

He started 11 games for the Cards in 1991, lol

As I stated earlier Hasselback may or may not be the 3rd QB. I haven't read where Gibbs said Hasselback was his #3. If so, didn't Gibbs tell Winslow if he was there at #5 the Redskins would take him? Bottom line is this is a tough business and Tupa can still play QB as a 3rd stringer and you can have Hasselback or Hamdan on the Practice Squad.

[quote="GoSkins"]I haven't read where Gibbs said Hasselback was his #3. [quote]

I heard Gibbs said at the draft day party that we had great depth at quarterback with Brunell, Ramsey and Hasselback... no mention of poor Gibran!

Maybe can earn a spot, but he hasn't been that great in NFLE

If Steve Spurrier were still coach, Tupa would be number 2 on the QB depth chart, and we'd have no 3rd string QB. With Chad Morton as a reserve running back, one of those other backs will probably be sent packing along with Trung. My guess is that McCullough will go, although I like his potential. Are the Skins really going to keep 5 corners?

The chances of Joe Gibbs going into the season with Tom Tupa as his number three quarterback are about as small as Fat Lenny passing up a doughnut. I would rather have Rod Gardner play quarterback...

No need to comment on what Spurrier would do...thank god he's gone. As to RB and CB I believe we will keep 5 CBs because Williams loves to use 4 in some cover situations. Also I think we will keep 4 RBs with Morton not counted as he is a special teamer. But don't get me wrong, Morton will be a very good 3rd down back. I agree, we will cut Canidate but I think Byner will love Sultan's speed.

number of players on practice squad has been increased to 8 PLAYERS now...
