IsntLifeFunny Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 2 hours ago, Mythos27 said: Mcbride, Reed, and Tanney are all likely cuts IMO. I don't expect Austin Johnson to get cut but if he hasn't improved substantially from last season, I wouldn't be shocked if he's not on the 53 man roster. Personally, I hope Reed makes it over Mccain/Smith and that Mcbride makes it over Weems. No way he isn't on the 53. He was the best interior lineman sans Casey the last quarter of the year.

bizzyeddie Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 unless there is something the coaches really see in McBride that we don't know about I would think he is gone in favor of Weems. I think that Douglas and Sharpe are fighting for last spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
japan Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Austin Johnson came on late last year. No way he's not on the roster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaltitan Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Johnson will definitely make the team. I don't see us keeping 10 LB. Carraway seems like a pretty likely PS guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphardy Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I hope they keep Tanney in the fold, especially with Mariota coming off injury; I like him more than Cassel, anyway. Seaton and/or Levin to PS. Add Johnson and cut/PS a LB or two, add a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 IIRC @Mythos27 is no Ajohn fan Austin Johnson has elite potential and really came on strong at the end of the year when he learned the defense and had the strength needed to play at the NFL level. He has more pass rush ability than Casey at this point in his career than when Casey was in his second. There is more of a chance Decker doesn't make the team than Austin Johnson.

Not a huge fan, you're right but I don't disagree he's more likely than not to make it. I just remember the staff not being exactly enamored with him and him being 3rd string in camp last year. If he really has recomped his body and improved then he'll be fine but if he comes in like he did last year, he could be a surprise cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiler FANatic Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 My take: QB (2): Mariota, Cassel RB/FB (4): Murray, Henry, Muhammad, Fowler TE (3): Walker, Supernaw, Smith WR (6): Davis, Matthews, Decker, Taylor, Sharpe, Weems OL (8): Lewan, Spain, B. Jones, Kline, Conklin, Kelly, Lelito, Levin DL (7): Casey, Williams, D. Jones, Johnson, Klug, Abdesmad, Woods/D. Brown LB (10): Morgan, Williamson, J. Brown, Orakpo, Walden, Woodyard, Dodd, Bates, Palmer, Wallace DB (10): Ryan, Sims, Cyprien, Byard, Jackson, Searcy, McCain, Trawick, Reed, Riley ST (3): Succop, Kern, Brinkley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 The last couple of guys on the 53 man roster will be kept based on upside more than position. People shouldn't fixate on whether they will keep that extra OL or LB based simply on positional numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure that's true, but now that Tretola's gone the likelihood of them keeping more than 8 OL seems pretty low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After adding Lelito, Levin, and Seaton there was no guarantee Tretola was going to make the roster anyway. They could decide both Levin and Seaton (or Matthias) are worth keeping and still keep 9.

Many had him as a mid-rounder and I think as high as 2nd in a couple of mocks. big wide-bodied dude that plays with good leverage. 6'1" 315 lbs. NT. 13(or 14 depending on the source) TFL and 3 sacks last year for lousiville. All-ACC. one of the strongest players in the country - 36 reps on the bench at his pro day. Good at taking on or splitting double teams. Great run stuffer and decent at penetrating. I remember him from Louisville now. Still a long shot to make the team based on #s on the DL. Team seems to really like Antwaun Woods up front- I wouldn't be surprised to see Abesmhad to beat up Blackson (or both to be cut) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
