Ravens 53 man roster
 

I am bored I am going to give this crack for the hell of it. This is my prediction for week 1. This will include people on the PUP list.


QB-Flacco/Bulger/Smith
RB-Rice/McGahee/Palenmere
FB-LeRon McClain
TE-Todd Heap/Ed Dickson/Dennis Pitta
LT-Michael Oher/Oneil Cousins
LG-Ben Grubbs/David Hale
C-Matt Birk/Chris Chester
RG-Marshall Yanda
RT-Jared Gaither/Ramon Harewood
WR-Anquan Boldin/Donte STallworth
WR-Derrick Mason/Mark Clayton/David Reed

offense-24

DE-Haloti Ngata/Paul Kruger/Arthur Jones
NT-Kelly Gregg/Terrence Cody/
DE-Cory Redding/Trevor Pryce
OLB-Terrell Suggs/Edgar Jones
ILB-Dannelle Ellerbe/Jameel McClain/Ayanbedejo
ILB-Ray Lewis/Tavares Gooden/PRescott Burgess
OLB-Jarret Johnson/Antwan Barnes
CB-Fabian Washington/Walt Harris/KJ Gerard
CB-Chris Carr/Travis Fisher
FS-Tom Zbikowski/Nakamura
SS-Dawan Landry/Ken Hamlin

K-Shayne Graham
P-Sam Koch
LS-Matt Katkula

PUP-Ed Reed,Lardarius Webb, Sergio Kindle.

Won't waste time making my own roster cause I pretty much agree with everything you've predicted. However, I think Travis Fisher will unseat Chris Carr as the #2 CB. Keep an eye out for Prince Miller as well. I think his main competition is K.J. Gerard, but he has a chance to make the 53 man roster IMO.

On offense, Ed Dickson is really raising some eyebrows. He's practicing with Flacco, Rice and the rest of the first team offense. I think he's going to be a nice part of our passing game this season, he'll have a much better season than that bum L.J. Smith from last year :)


As for special teams
I think the Punt Returner will be Prince Miller if he makes the team, if not, possibly Mark Clayton, Tom Zbikowski(should we really take a chance with him though?) or David Reed. If all else fails, we'll see the incumbent Chris Carr.

Kick Returner, I believe is already locked up by Jalen Parmele.

I think Cundiff will win the kicker spot. Remember, Steven Hauschka killed us last year in the pressure situations, and all I hear about Graham is that he can't kick under pressure either. Why take the same path this year and sign Graham over Cundiff?

2011 Draft -
After looking over our roster, I think we need to draft a C in our next draft in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. CB is a first round need. and I think we need to actually draft a Kicker in round 7 or so. Cundiff has average range and Graham is a choker. We need a long-term solution at K.

Yeah I like Miller as well. I wouldnt mind us keeping him. Here is the PS I think we will do or at least try to set up


Harper
Riley
Drew
Miller
McLaughlin.

we may cut one of them out to keep Mattison around just to make his dad happy.

I'll give it a go.

Offense:

QB - Flacco, Bulger, Smith
RB - Rice, McGahee, Parmele
FB - McClain
WR - Boldin, Mason, Stallworth, Clayton, Reed
TE - Heap, Dickson, Pitta
LT - Oher
LG - Grubbs
C - Birk, Chester
RG - Yanda, Harewood
RT - Gaither, Cousins

Defense (3-4):

DT - Ngata, Jones
NT - Gregg, Cody, McKinney
DE - Redding, Pryce, Kruger
OLB: Suggs, Barnes
ILB: Ellerbe, McClain
ILB: Lewis, Gooden, Ayanbandejo
OLB: Johnson, Jones
CB: Washington, Gerard, Paschal
CB: Carr, Fisher, Miller
FS: Zbikowski, Hamlin
SS: Landry, Namakura

K: Graham
P: Koch
LS: Katula

PUP - Reed, Webb, Kindle
Reserve/Suspended - Cary Williams

I think we'll only keep 8 OL this season, the backups we do have are pretty versatile. Clayton makes the team because the coaching staff likes him (I sure don't). We only keep 5 ILBs with Ayanbandejo edging out Burgess. Edgar Jones keeps Kindle's roster spot warm and in the meantime is a very versatile player who can play special teams. Webb will probably replace Miller when he comes back (if he's put on the PUP list at all), but if Harris or Fisher really struggle I could see us letting go one of them (or both). I'd like to say Reed takes Hamlin's spot when he returns, but that's iffy too. Perhaps we cut two CBs like I alluded to before and keep 5 safeties on the roster.
