Depth Chart Bubble Watch: Vol. 3

It's that time of the week again.  It's time to once again take a look at the potential 53-man roster in the same way that people like to try and predict the NCAA Tournament's field of 65.  Last week's edition can be seen here.

Below is the latest edition.  Feel free to discuss and dissect.

Star-divide

1st Team 2nd Team 3rd Team
QB Chad Pennington Chad Henne John Beck
RB Ronnie Brown Ricky Williams Jalen Parmele/Patrick Cobbs
FB Boomer Grigsby
WR Ted Ginn Davone Bess David Kircus
WR Derek Hagan Ernest Wilford
TE Anthony Fasano David Martin Sean Ryan
LT Jake Long Ike Ndukwe
LG Justin Smiley Shawn Murphy
C Samson Satele Steve McKinney
RG Donald Thomas Trey Darilek
RT Vernon Carey
1st Team 2nd Team 3rd Team
DE Vonnie Holliday Phillip Merling
NT Jason Ferguson Paul Soliai
DE Matt Roth Kendall Langford Randy Starks
OLB Charlie Anderson Quentin Moses
ILB Channing Crowder Edmond Miles
ILB Akin Ayodele Reggie Torbor
OLB Joey Porter Junior Glymph
CB Will Allen Travis Daniels Joey Thomas
CB Andre Goodman Nate Jones
FS Jason Allen Chris Crocker Renaldo Hill
SS Yeremiah Bell Keith Davis
1st Team 2nd Team 3rd Team
K Dan Carpenter
P Brandon Fields
LS John Denney

PUP: Michael Lehan
Last 5 On: David Kircus, Renaldo Hill, Joey Thomas, Junior Glymph, Edmond Miles
First 5 Off: Jayson Foster, Greg Camarillo, Reagan Mauia, Josh McCown, Rob Ninkovich
Next 5 Off: Rod Wright, Lex Hilliard, Titus Brown, Chris Roberson, Lionel Dotson

Yet again, I've listed Lehan on the PUP list.  Until he practices and gets into a game, that's where I'll continue to lost him.  Also, just to clarify, I have both Parmele and Cobbs making the roster.  I just didn't want to create a new column for a "4th team" when that position was the only one that would need the column.

Next, the most controversial decision that I made to fill the 53-man roster is probably my decision to leave off both Jayson Foster and Greg Camarillo.  But let's face it: Bess and Kircus have both earned a spot on this team.  Kircus, far and away, had the best game of all the receivers against Tampa.  It'll be interesting to see if he plays just as well against the Jaguars on Saturday night.

Of course, Foster or Camarillo could be kept as a 6th receiver if the Dolphins decide to not keep one of the back-up linebackers.  For example, if the staff feels confident that Matt Roth could play OLB, then Junior Glymph might not be needed.  But who would that 6th receiver be?  Foster was quite unimpressive in the first preseason game.  But the same can be said for Camarillo.  I think it's safe to say that from this point forward, the battle between Kircus, Camarillo, and Foster for a roster spot is going to be interesting.

So do you agree with the above depth chart?  Disagree?  Let's hear it below...

Only yesterday

Edgar and Ben on the PBP were saying that from practice alone they’d be shocked if Camarillo doesn’t make it. That got me to thinking – surely consistent production in practice is more important that a couple good plays in a preseason game? Or does it really work the other way around? Because, of course, Kirkus was great vs the Bucs. Secondly, if Wilford continues to be garbage, both in practice and pre-season games, is there any danger he doesn’t make the team? I think not, but you never know with the guys now running the team.

I think if one or two of these bubble recievers manages to catch a TD or haul in 3+ nice looking catches in the next one or two preseason games it’ll shake all of this up and we honestly won’t remember who was good against the bucs, which was after all a poor offensive showing. Ginn is obviously safe, I’d just like to start hearing his damn name attached to some positive vibes for once.

Football isn't a matter of life and death - it's far more important than that.

One of the spots that could be freed up is the LS position

I heard they had someone else practicing at is (don’t recall, maybe trey d?)

Anyway, if one of the other players could pick up this duty, we could get rid of Denney and use the spot for another WR.

I dunno

Some douche who used to play for the Jets.

Why so serious?

How is he a douche?

I don’t understand how anybody could dislike this situation. Imagine beating the Jets over their head with their own QB!

RB's and Linemen

I think they may cut Cobbs and bring in another O-lineman. I would put Ricky as1st team for the first 4 games. Matt Roth may get beat out for first team DE. Both Langford and Starks showed good play against the Bucs, while I never heard them mention Roth’s name. Waivers should be interesting…

Yeah,

from the practice blogs I’ve been reading, I don’t think Roth is going to be starting. I think Langford will get that honor.

langford is massive enough too

It was easy for you the decision of cutting McClown?

I agree with you, but for me the QB situation is not transparent yet, actually keeping Beck it’s the ideal on a reaconstruntion team, but the fact that ChP has injuries issues makes me think it twice, and probably keep McCown, so in case of ChP has a injury we don’t have to push Henne when he’s not ready. It’s only seniority and experience.

It’s better for Beck and better for the team (at least for this year).

If we hadn't guaranteed both of them $2.5M

I’d say cut them both and pick up cheap backup QB from free agency.
