There is an open roster spot as of this posting, with some likely cuts coming in the next couple weeks it’s good to have the ability to add someone. I’d still love another tight end or defensive end.
I’ve shifted the starting three linebackers with Mayo in the middle, keeping Hightower and Collins on the outside. The more I think about it, the more this makes sense. It’s a better use of the personnel especially against the pass. We’ll see how it holds up against runs up the gut.
Lot of tough decisions to make right now on the 53-man roster, especially on the offensive line where I kept nine. Also not sure how the linebackers will play out, they need some core special teamers there. Running backs are an interesting spot too, I expect we’ll start talking about Stephen Houston more once the pads come on and less Roy Finch. Of course injuries will make things a little easier to project unfortunately.
