Ok I figured with cuts coming we could have a bit of fun with this and go position by position with .Nets experts to see what we end up with as keepers. Comments welcome, not included are those on injury lists or unable to perform.
The DT, DE, LB positions are hard, they interchange positions in our defense so a label on a certain players position isn't always where we use him.
Defensive Ends
56 Avril, Cliff DE , Stays, brought in for our pass rush, can drop into coverage.
72 Bennett, Michael DE , Stays shown ability to get penetration and make a huge difference internal on the D line
79 Bryant, Red DE, Stays our run stopper
51 Irvin, Bruce DE Stays, not going to be counted against the roster once he is suspended, looked good last night as a LB shooting gaps
95 Mayowa, Benson DE, Stays initially, could be a casualty once Irvin is back.
Defensive Tackles
70 Brooks, Michael DT, Showed some real promise, PS I think unless one or both the rookies get put on a PUP list which is possible.
66 Cherrington , Dewayne DT, Have not noticed him, which isn't always a bad thing, but numbers game and lack of visable perfromance makes me beleive he's a cut.
97 Hill, Jordan DT, Showed some agility and ability, got overwhelmed at times but he's a rookie that happens, injured Bicep, could be on PUP while he heals / develops
94 Howard, Jaye DT, Improved over last year has been able to play his gap, nothing to write home about but improvement and a former player for Quinn he could stick.
99 McDaniel, Tony DT, Shoed last night why we grabbed him, good penetratin and disruptive, he stays.
69 McDonald, Clinton DT, Not sure what to think about McDonald, have not seen a lot to sway me one way or another I would lean twoards cut just based on others having shown something.
92 Mebane, Brandon DT, Stays he's been our internal anchor.
65 Parker, Martin DT , Cut, really has not stood out and as a 3 year Vet we should have seen something
74 Siliga, Sealver DT , Just got him from Denver, his roll I assume is to tie guys up for our LB's to shoot gaps he makes the 75 man cuts and I guess we will see more next week.
90 Williams, Jesse DT, Been hurt and has been hot and cold, could see him on PUP also giving him time to get well and develop.
As I stated rolls are so important with all these guys and not sure what they are expected to fill really makes it difficult. I have 9 staying between them all possibly 10. Thats to the 75 man, maybe things will get more clear last pre season game, I'm also sure we will do some creative stashing if possible. Brooks would be a guy to have stick around if Willaims and Hill have any questions about their health whatsoever.

, Actually thoought discussion could be more focused with just a couple positions in a thread versus a whole roster and things getting lost and it turning into a off topic rant.
