Connorbear Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 A clear picture of the 53-man roster By Brad Biggson August 30, 2008 4:18 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0) With the final cuts known (rookie Chester Adams is likely to receive an injury settlement) here is a look at what the 53-man roster looks like: QUARTERBACK (3)--Orton, Grossman, Hanie. RUNNING BACK (4)--Forte, Jones, Wolfe, Peterson. FULLBACK (1)--McKie. WIDE RECEIVER (6)--Hester, Lloyd, Bennett, Booker, Bradley, Davis. TIGHT END (3)--Clark, Olsen, Davis. OFFENSIVE LINE (8)--Kreutz, Beekman, Metcalf, Garza, Tait, St. Clair, Williams, Barton. TOTAL OFFENSE: 25 DEFENSIVE LINE (9)--Harris, Adams, Dvoracek, Idonije, Harrison, Brown, Ogunleye, Anderson, Toeaina. LINEBACKER (6)--Urlacher, Briggs, Hillenmeyer, Williams, McClover, Roach. SAFETY (5)--Brown, McGowan, D. Manning, Payne, Steltz. CORNERBACK (5)--Tillman, Vasher, Graham, Bowman, McBride. TOTAL DEFENSE: 25 SPECIALISTS (3)--Gould, Maynard, Mannelly. There could still be movement, especially Sunday involving the waiver wire. The most logical are for change would be on the offensive line. We'll see what shakes out there.

ChileBear Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Glad to see Hanie made it. Now it will be interesting to see what they do about picking up some help on the Oline. And Bradley better stay healthy and contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 If we pickup help for the Oline who do we cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingtwig Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 If we pickup up someone for the oline I would be wanting to place Williams on the IR to free up the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackerDog Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 OFFENSIVE LINE (8)--Kreutz, Beekman, Metcalf, Garza, Tait, St. Clair, Williams, Barton. There could still be movement, especially Sunday involving the waiver wire. The most logical are for change would be on the offensive line. We'll see what shakes out there. You bet there'll be movement. 8 OL is inadequate, particularly when you realize one of those won't be available until close to November, at the earliest.

BearSox Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Willie Anderson anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesson44 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Willie Anderson anyone? Is he still hurting from that knee injury he had last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerBear7 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Barton would be a canidate for the PS if we signed an OL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesson44 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Barton would be a canidate for the PS if we signed an OL We don't need Anderson. IMHO we need a guy that can play both the guard and tackle position Although if we sign Anderson we could move ST. Clair to the guard position and have Meetcalf moved back to being a backup at guard. But if we kept Anderson when Williams is able to play then we might move him to guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Like I just stated before it wouldn't hurt to bring Anderson in for a look and Barton to the practice squad might be risky.They kept him on the roster for a reason.He didn't look bad during preseason.

lemonej Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 The Lions released Jonathon Scott he was pretty good in college but I'm not sure what the problem was in Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
