4 TE's? Come on now especially at the expense of Mcavoy really?

Pete seems to really like the versatility that Brandon Williams brings. But yeah, it's a bit of a stretch.

lets see how he does against something other than 4th stringers on defence....We see this every year, someone stands out and by week 4 they are cut.MizzouHawkGal":lg2gyc8d said:

Seems like a solid projection.
Four TEs apear likely right now with Brandon Williams giving them a solid blocker.
Kasen Williams (hamstring) could be subbed for any number of guys, including possibly Tanner McEvoy.
I have J’Marcus Webb, Rees Odhiambo, Patrick Lewis, Jahri Evans, Terry Poole, and Joey Hunt all on the bubble. Any two of them could be released depending on the remaining competition and injuries. I prefer Hunt more than Lewis and Odhiambo more than Evans right now.
They could go with four DTs instead of five. Siliga, Jefferson, Hill, and Bryant are all battling.
That's a lot of safeties too. Browner and Powell could be competing. We'll see.

Brandon Williams can block, catch, and play on Special Teams. I think he makes it.

McEvoy did nothing when in the game against what would be the Chief's 2nd string. Against the 3rd and 4th string he was awesome..but that only goes so far. In practices that I went to , albeit the first 3, he needed extra coaching to understand what to do and didnt look all that great.
4 TEs..but one is Graham.. and one is Willson.. and they may go without a true FB this year so, 4 seems pretty reasonable to me.

The decision comes down to the fact that we have plenty of receivers who can catch the ball but not many TE's who can block. Besides, even though Graham is listed as a TE, the bulk of his success has been achieved playing as WR would. Of course that is predicated upon JG's return to full health.

I don't think we keep 7 LBs because we will be in Nickel a lot. I see us going for a 6th receiver instead. One of McEvoy, Lawler, Smith or Foxx makes it over Marsh or Pinkins.
Something I also feel strangely confident about is Tye Smith beating out Marcus Burley for a roster spot.

As you brought up in another thread, I too think we need to eliminate the fullback spot. I am just hoping that spot goes to mcevoy. I think they can find room on this roster for both Powell and mcevoy. Maybe cutting Webb would be an option. Who cares how much dead cap space he takes up. We already have enough room in the salary cap.

So we should just NOT have any high expectations and just cut him now?Cyrus12":dzum2vhg said:
Maybe we need to give our Defensive 1st stringers another long hard look after making some lousy plays in the beginning of this first game too?

I have more confidence in Burley and Smith than I do Tharold Simon. I think Simon gets cut if he continues to underwhelm.
He is keeping too many LBers on his projection. I have the the Hawks keeping 5, 6 if you count Marsh as a LBer.
He doesn't seem to value team control at all, which is very important.
A primary example being Tye Smith 3 yrs vs. Tharold Simon 1 yr.
Tharold Simon is going to have to play himself on to the roster, and truly shine ala' C-Mike, or they are going to go with younger guys with more years of team control. Frankly I would go that route anyway, given his underwhelming 3 year injury plagued career.

I can't see Tye Smith getting cut. Too much potential, and he's flashed the ability to play outside. I'd keep him over another linebacker or even Browner.
Burley is a lock, IMO. He's shown he's an average to above average nickel corner. That's really, really valuable.
