Interesting list.....have fun!!

[mark5362]

I'm ready to see who really wants to make the team tonight.

[corgi]

Justin Snow on the bubble? I don't like that at all....and Chandler?

[Gavin]

Im looking to see a nice game from Anunoby but because of injuries to the D Line I think he is in. Im looking for Hicks to play himself onto the team tonight. Im hoping Kris Adams plays himself onto the team tonight. Im looking for any of our Corners outside of Powers and Davis to show us that they deserve a roster spot (anyone?). Im looking for Aino to make the final push in establishing himself as backup defensive end (who might be able to start if Nevis and especially Matthews dont get it together in my opinion). Im looking for Lefedged to establish himself as backup with (in my opinion potential to start).

Also looking at the injured reserve list is depressing (Im looking at it right now)

Denver went with a rookie at LS........could it happen? I think Harnish makes it.....

I am all for any player that busts his tail tonight to make an impact....good post Gavin!!

He's only got 42 guys locked in so there is still plenty of room left. I also don't agree with him on some, I.E. I think Harnish is a lock because I don't think there is any way on earth were going into the season with 2 QB's. How is Vaughn a lock at CB, IMO he has been terrible and J. King is much more of a lock than Vaughn. Don't think Shipley is a lock by any means and I think Anunoby has to be a lock at this point with McKinney out for the season. Suppose that could change if we could find a NT on the waiver wire, but I don't see that happening.

[fbfanatic]

Judging by comments he has made, Chandler is not at all certain he will make it. Talking about his twitter comments. I hope they keep him. Barring injury he will be a valuable addition down the road. I don't see Stanton being satisfied with a career as a back up but he needs to have a good year to move on. If Harnish is cut, surely someone will grab him and a new back up will have to be trained from scratch again next year.

[Grantis2911]

I thought we'd for sure keep three QBs on the roster now...and Chandler hasn't looked bad in preseason, or did I miss something?

Good points Balzer....I have actually watched Shipley closely....not going to say he is a lock, but when he blocked....Ballard was going up the gut for 7 and 8 yards....from our own goal line. The kid reminds me of Saturday....needs his chance....was a BEAST at Penn State. Besides our 3rd center.....Zane Taylor.....who can back up Satele? Although as I look back, Chappell lists Taylor as a guard.....HMMMMMMM.

[Coltswarriors]

Earlier this week Pagano said team was unsure if they were going with 2 or 3 QBs for regular season.

Either way Harnish will at least make practice squad.

Yeah, since Shipley is a center, that may give him a leg up on sticking around. McGlynn is also a backup center though too. Maybe he's better there than he is at guard. With all the injuries we already have its going to open the doors for some guy's that probably didn't have a chance at first.

Harnish has done so well in the preseason IMO, that if we stick him on the practice squad, some QB needy team will pick him up in no time. Thats why I think he will make the final roster.

I've always looked at McGlynn as the backup center and utility guard (stop gap starter). Philly didn't want him as a starting center, but they were functional with him in that role...so I've never looked at AQ Shipley as making the team as center only...must be quality depth as a center that can play guard. We could use the help on the interior and maybe they'll keep him if he is versatile enough.

[TKnight24]

That's weird. What team ONLY carries 2 QB's?? Harnish may not be #2 on the Depth Chart, but he definitely makes it. Only way he doesn't, is if they don't like what he's done & we get a QB from the Waiver Wire. I don't see that happening, so we definitely stick we our Trio of QB's right now.

And I'm pulling for Mike Newton tonight

I forgot about McGlynn....not a fan so far...but he has been injured...Have I been too harsh on McGlynn? Time will tell. Pags insists he is an emotional leader, yet I like leading by example too.

[BrentMc11]

Guys/Gals, remember "bubble' means just that: The player is on the fence. For example Olsen and Tepper are shown on the bubble. They have played better in this preseason at times than the regulars. Link has also even though we have a whole lot of Link haters on the board due to past performance. In fact, he was awful in the Redskin game.....

[Montana]

The players that do make the final 53, and are basically 50 - 53 on the list, better not get too comfortable, 'cuz I think we'll be picking up some new players off the waiver wire. The thing I really like about Grigson, is, he's not afraid to pull the trigger if he thinks a better player is available. And I think there will be a few better players available late tomorrow. Can't wait to see who it might be..

[GoColts8818]

I don't know if it's guys who are truly on the bubble or more guys he feels aren't locks.

2 QB's is a very common decision. The Colts have been a 2 QB team most of the Manning era. Ravens only carried 2 last year. Wouldn't surprise anyone if the Colts only carry 2. Often, you need to carry extra of something else. This year has the markings of carrying 3, however. I prefer 2.

[TheMarine]

Horrible dream last night...

Woke up and found that Angerer missed the last round of cuts, rendering my new Angerer jersey completely unwearable.

That's what we kept. I used Mike Chappal's roster yesterday and deleted the cuts so if I made a mistake let me know. Note there are 55 names here but two of them were played on IR. I think as the waviers shake out this list will change I think we will add at least one NT.

That's because we had the ironman at QB. Most teams keep three.

Also, people forget about how fragile the QB position is over the league. What if someone comes a calling late season and gives us a great spot next draft to replace one of the ones we traded away... for Chandler?

Well they would have to call by week 8 at the latest. I think they would be more interested in Drew Stanton though if they called. I am glad we kept Chandler I honestly think he is being groomed to be our back up QB going forward after this season as I expect Stanton to leave as a free agent.

Actually, I meant Stanton.........but as a disclaimer, I did make myself a pitcher of Mudslide.......

Thanks for catching that. I would hate to get ticketed for a P. U. I.
