[A-11]

You have 41 Roster Locks, that leaves a dirty dozen from your Bubble/Cut/PS listed.
I'm still a little lost, so will have to return to post my break down.

Lemme know if you disagree but yes there's some open competition at virtually every position (in backup roles primarily).

The only "starting" jobs that I see as still open are maybe LT (Webb v. CWill), LCB (Jennings v. Hayden), LG, and maybe SLB (Roach v. Hayes). I don't see much doubt who's gonna be 1st string at QB, RB, TE, OC, RG, RT, WRs, MLB, WLB, RCB, DTs, P, K, DEs, and Safeties.

I agree with everything cept ur take on Williams / Rachal ... Rachal might beat him out ( if he plays up to his potential .... but he also has a rep for sucking at times ) so we'll see what happens . Some might think ain't a big deal but I disagree . Our O-line backups need to be better than they have been , cuz sooner or later someone is gonna get dinged up (and even if they only miss a couple of games) , that could wind up being the difference between playoffs or no playoffs .

Here's my wish list for the final roster:

QB (3): Cutler, Campbell, McCown OR Blanchard
RB (4): Forte, Bush, Bell, Clutts
WR (6): Marshall, Jeffery, Bennett, Weems, Hester, Thomas OR Sanzenbacher
TE (4): Davis, Spaeth, Rodriguez, Adams
OT (4): CWilliams, Carimi, Webb, Brown
OG (4): EWilliams, Louis, Spencer, Rachal OR Henry
C (1): Garza
DE (4): Peppers, Idonije, McClellin, Wootton
DT (4): Paea, Melton, Toeinia, Price OR Collins
LB (7): Urlacher, Briggs, Roach, DeCicco, Hayes, Costanzo, Williams OR Thomas
CB (5): Tillman, Jennings, Moore, Hayden, Wilhite
S (4): Wright, Conte, Hardin, Steltz
K (1): Gould
P (1): Podlesh
LS (1): Mannelly

-----------
= 53

that looks so much better than last years roster. Some depth on the D and the offense looks better too
