Revenge of the Birds
Happy Sunday one and all.
Hope you enjoyed the game and the Arizona Cardinals win last night, as they beat the Las Vegas Raiders 20-10.
Let’s take a look at how I think the first Arizona Cardinals 53-man roster will look after cuts happen this week.
QB – 2
Kyler Murray
Jacoby Brissett
Nothing crazy here. Tune is likely a practice squad candidate, unless they are just done with him.
RB – 4
James Conner
Trey Benson
Emari Demercado
DeeJay Dallas
Michael Carter and Bam Knight to the practice squad? Well at least one of them.
WR – 6
Marvin Harrison Jr.
Michael Wilson
Zay Jones
Greg Dortch
Simi Fehoko
Xavier Weaver
Nothing surprising here.
TE – 4
Trey McBride
Tip Reiman
Elijah Higgins
Travis Vokolek
Three dress on gameday, does Vokolek get the nod as the fourth guy?
OL – 9
Paris Johnson Jr.
Evan Brown
Hjalte Froholdt
Isaiah Adams
Jonah Williams
Kelvin Beachum
Jon Gaines II
Nick Leverett
Josh Fryar
Christian Jones for Fryar and Hayden Conner for Leverett if they are healthy.
25 offensive players as of now.
Defensive Line – 6
Calais Campbell
Dalvin Tomlinson
Darius Robinson
Dante Stills
Justin Jones
L.J. Collier
If Walter Nolen is on PUP, this is how I see things starting. Elijah Simmons and P.J. Mustipher could be great practice squad candidates with quick call ups.
Edge – 5
Baron Browning
Josh Sweat
Zaven Collins
Jordan Burch
Xavier Thomas
No B.J. Ojulari until we find out if he is healthy.
LB – 4
Mack Wilson
Akeem Davis-Gaither
Cody Simon
Owen Pappoe
Maybe Mykal Walker or J.J. Russell sneak on, but that is where I am at.
Cornerback – 5
Will Johnson
Max Melton
Garrett Williams
Denzel Burke
Kei’Trel Clark
Safeties – 5
Budda Baker
Jalen Thompson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Kitan Crawford
Joey Blount
I added in all defensive backs, because I am curious if Darren Hall can take a safety spot since he has done both, and they keep five true cornerbacks, four true safties and one hybrid type in Hall.
What are your thoughts?
