Defensive Linemen (6) DE1 Corey Liuget NT1 Cam Thomas DE2 Kendall Reyes NT2 Kwame Geathers DE3 Jarius Wynn DE4 Damik Scafe
Notes: Not a terrible group. If a name pops up on the waiver wire, I am sure we will look. I am sure we will look at all positions.
Middle Linebackers (5) MLB1 Donald Butler MLB2 Manti Te’o MLB3 Bront Bird MLB4 DJ Smith MLB5 Andrew Gachkar
Notes: Same group I have had here for a while.
Outside Linebackers (5) OLB1 Dwight Freeney OLB2 Jarret Johnson OLB3 Larry English OLB4 Tourek Williams OLB5 Frank Beltre
Notes: Frank Beltre or Thomas Keiser? Which one would you keep. Would have to keep Beltre for his special teams work and for his potential. He stood out to me last night.
Secondary (9) CB1 Derek Cox CB2 Shareece Wright FS1 Eric Weddle SS1 Marcus Gilchrist S Brandon Taylor NB Johnny Patrick CB4 Richard Marshall S Darrell Stuckey CB William Middleton
Notes: With Steve Williams out, William Middleton will take that roster spot. He has done well in his action and also can contribute on special teams.
