I tend to think the projected top players who either sit the entire game or just play in the 1st quarter are almost certainties to make the team. The players who come in next are fighting for places and the players who play in the 4th quarter are just putting play on tape for their next team. Obviously there are exceptions for developmental players and QB3s.Some are predicting Haynes may actually get cut.
Zabel, Bradford, and Lucas are locked in as starters. Cross and Oluwatimi didn't play at all due to injury and Sundell looked pretty good. Those 6 are making the team. Jones was subbing for Cross at LT. He looked good as a run blocker and he wasn't awful as a pass blocker. I'd guess he's pretty safe as OL7.
The 1st 3 changes were Cabeldue at LG, Haynes at RG, and Kight at RT. Cabeldue was subbed by Laumea on the goal-line offense, (which is obviously not a good sign), but he came back in on the next drive. Cabeldue later gave up a sack. Of the 3 i'd select Kight as OL8. The team would like to carry a C3 in case 1 of the top 2 are hurt or feel sick before a game. Cabeldue, Haynes, Laumea, and C3, (at this point Maranges), appear to be on the bubble for 1 or maybe 2 places. It's tough to carry more OL if you're committed to a QB3 and a specialist FB.
