Roster balance - who's where on defence? And we have how many REC?
Let's see here.
(BTW, front office, please fix the communications breakdown on the website and update the listed roster with correct positions. We only have FOUR LB's listed, and one of them is playing safety. I accept that cuts were just done, but it might look good to fix this soon.)
DT: Laurent, Legare, Reid. Rotation of three. Okay.
DE: Peach, Sykes, Sewell. Rotation of three. Also okay.
IIRC normal to dress 6 DL, so we should be good there.
LB:
Roster: Hill, Munoz, Davis, Cornell
Depth chart: Lopez, Davis, Cornell, Munoz, Sharun, Bonner, Miller
7 guys for 4 spots. Okay, I guess. But it doesn't make sense when...
DB:
Roster: Alexander, Bonner, Brown, Lopez, Miller, Pittman, Sharun, Thompson, Williams
Depth chart: Alexander, Thompson, Williams, Hill, Brown
Five guys for five positions and zero DB depth whatsoever (unless we're moving LB's back, which is possible).
Regardless, two points to be made here:
1) List players under correct positions because it makes a lot more sense then.
2) Our roster balance looks extremely out of whack right now in the back nine (or eight). 12 guys dressed to cover nine positions is okay, but I can't see all that many of those kid LB's dropping back into the secondary and doing well. Harris was probably the best cover LB we had and he's gone. Depth issues.
Also. TEN receivers to cover six positions (or seven, if one includes KR).
Seems a bit much, no?. 1/4 of the roster, nearly, is receivers? I have no doubt we'll sit one or two when we make the 42...but still.
As of right now, we have to sit one import (a receiver, or Duval), and three NI's (one or two receivers, either Fils or Messam, and maybe a backup LB...but we only have 12 guys for 9 positions as it is).
We could sit 2 imports (two receivers and have a KR as a receiver also) and 2 NI's (RB and REC), too, but that might not help.
Interesting stuff, regardless. I hope everything works out...but man do we have a lot of rookies on defence.
