Challenge: Guess who makes the Final 53

C-Dub · Aug 30, 2013

Let's see which who gets the most correct.

Here's my early prediction....

QB: Wilson, Jackson
RB: Lynch, Michael, Turbin
FB: Robinson, Coleman
WR: Rice, Tate, Baldwin, Kearse, Williams
TE: Miller, Willson, McGrath
OT: Okung, Giacomini, Bailey, (*Bowie)
OG: McQuistan, Sweezy, Carpenter, Johnson
C: Unger, Jeanpierre
DE: Bryant, Bennett, Siliga
DT: Mebane, Hill, McDaniel, Howard
LEO: Clemons, Avril, Schofield, Mayowa, (**Irvin)
LB: Wagner, Wright, Smith, Bradford, Lotulelei
CB: Sherman, Browner, Thurmond, Winfield, Lane, Maxwell
S: Thomas, Chancellor, Johnson, Shead
ST: Ryan, Gresham, Hauschka

* IR'd
** Suspension

I think Fells, Person, McDonald, and Powell have a chance, but right now I have them out of the final 53. If Bowie's injury is serious (like it sounds), he probably will be IR'd.

I think Maragos makes it over Shead, and Person makes it on the O-line (not sure who goes...maybe Johnson). And I think Farwell makes it over Lotulelei for Special Teams purposes. I think Lotuleilei is overrated on these boards, big time.

Your list looks pretty close to what I would say, though.

Agreed...especially Maragos, and Farwell

I say Ware makes it at RB, and FB Coleman is out. No value in carrying 2 FB, IMO, especially with a roster this tight...unless, of course, Bates somehow makes it with his versatility as the WR/FB/ST guy. If that happens, then Ware's spot is questionable (sad face).

I also think Farwell makes it, at the expense of a DB - 10 DB's is pushing it.

Really? Person looks like the worst O-lineman on the 75-man to me right now. Lots of penalties and no push in run blocking.

Agree about Lotuleilei.

Brock Huard has been plugging the guy big time and the power of suggestion has seemed to rub off on a few people. He looks like a player the former regime would keep.

Now Bradford....he looks like a Carroll type player. Big, strong, and mean.

I stand by my list last week or the other lists from the cut down, not typing it out again, we did this excersise and I didn't see anything to change my thoughts. Unless we have a injury that opens up a slot.

By going with the younger guys over Maragos and Farwell, the Seahawks will save over $700,000. I think both Maragos and Farwell are as good as gone.

Margos is the only FS on the team aside from Earl Thomas. Farwell is a captain and an standout on ST. I would be shocked if they were let go. I don't value $700,000 over leadership and that veteran presence especially when there are no cap issues yet. I'm sure it'll be dealt with when needed, but no point in trying to ruin a good thing now when nothings wrong.

Maragos stays, but Farwell probably goes.
In an apparent shocker, Harper makes the 53 at WR.
We also find a way to keep Ware.

TwistedHusky · Aug 30, 2013

Really?

Where is Brooks?

Brooks is one of those guys it would be stupid to lose. It would be a travesty to keep a complete waste of a roster spot like Harper and then let someone like Brooks so.

Hard to disagree with you here, maybe a suprise here or there, perhaps Whitehurst wins QB competiton?

themunn · Aug 31, 2013

I'm gonna go the opposite way and name the 21 players I don't think will make the roster (according to .com we have 74 players on the roster at the moment).

Brady Quinn
Michael Robinson (still officially a Seahawk and on that 74)
Phil Bates
Arceto Clark
Bryan Walters
Cooper Helfet
Darren Fells
Rishaw Johnson
Mike Person
Ryan Seymour
Jared Smith
Michael Brooks
Dewayne Cherrington (I don't remember even seeing this guy)
Sealver Siliga
Heath Farwell
Mike Morgan
Ty Powell
John Lotulelei
Ron Parker
Deshaun Shead
1 more DB (too close to call, I'd edge towards Guy)

Quite a lot of talented names in there, testament to how great this team is all around.

BobinLaConner · Aug 31, 2013

I agree with most of the OP but made a couple of small changes...

QB: Wilson, Jackson
RB: Lynch, Michael, Turbin
FB: Coleman, Ware (Robinson signs for less and comes back to replace Coleman)
WR: Rice, Tate, Baldwin, Kearse, Williams, Harper (Harper goes when Harvin comes back in)
TE: Miller, Willson, McGrath, (Fells to practice squad)
OT: Okung, Giacomini, Bailey
OG: McQuistan, Sweezy, Carpenter, Johnson
C: Unger, Jeanpierre
DE: Bryant, Bennett, Siliga
DT: Mebane, Hill, McDaniel, Howard
LEO: Clemons, Avril, Schofield, Mayowa,
LB: Wagner, Wright, Smith, Bradford, Lotulelei (or maybe farwell?), Irvin
CB: Sherman, Browner, Thurmond, Lane, Maxwell
S: Thomas, Chancellor, Johnson, Maragos (wish we could add Winfield here)
ST: Ryan, Gresham, Hauschka
