Roster Roulette Part 2: Defense

by dolphin341 on Jun 16, 2009 4:53 PM EDT Comment 4 comments

Here is the second part in the hit Miami Dolphins internet series: Roster Spot Roulette. Predicting who will survive the cuts is trickier than the offense because there is so much depth on the defensive side, and Sparano utilizes that depth for special teams. Let's take a crack at it anyway!

Defensive Ends: Philip Merling, Kendall Langford

Defensive Tackle: Jason Ferguson

Outside Linebackers Left: Joey Porter

Outside Linebackers Right: Matt Roth

Middle Linebackers: Channing Crowder, Akin Ayodele

Cornerbacks: Will Allen, Sean Smith

Strong Safety: Yeremiah Bell

Free Safety: Gibril Wilson

Here is the rest of the defense:

Defensive Ends: Tony McDaniel, Lionel Dotson, Randy Starks

Defensive Tackles: Paul Solia,

Linebackers: Jason Taylor, Cameron Wake, Charlie Anderson, Reggie Torbor, Erik Walden

Cornerbacks: Vontae Davis, Eric Green, Nathan Jones,

Safeties: Tyrone Culver, Chris Clemons, Jason Allen

So there it is, my picks for the players that will make it on the defensive roster. I had to cut down the number of linebackers to four instead of six because of the need for the specialists on the roster. Here is something for you guys to mull on, the Dolphins might cut long snapper John Denney in order to keep another tight end or linebacker on the roster. Tomorrow I will lay out the special teams players, and to wrap up the roster roulette, I will pick the seven players that will make up the practice squad.

So how many players are we going to have on our team ??????

If you add up the number of players on both of your roster roulette we are already at 54!!!!

This isn’t including the Punter and Place Kicker and on top of that what are you smoking to think we would cut our long snapper

If you put it all together the team will probably be short one or two WR and CB that you have kept on the squad to make the magic 53 number

LOL 56 guys?

I even warned you about this on your last post, by the way you can count on us keeping 6 CBs:>)

Here's my attempt at predicting the Offense (and Defense) to make 53. It's HARD!

I’m going with 5 CBs understanding that Chris Clemons could play a nickel safety role.
I think Eric Green STINKS
Keep some extra CBs on the practice squad.

LDE Kendall Langford, Tony McDaniel
NT Jason Ferguson, Paul Soliai
RDE Phillip Merling, Randy Starks, Lionel Dotson

ROLB Joey Porter, Erik Walden
LC Will Allen, Vontae Davis, Nate Jones
RC Sean Smith, Jason Allen
SS Yeremiah Bell, Tyrone Culver
FS Chris Clemons, Gibril Wilson

SPECIALISTS 3
P Brandon Fields, K Dan Carpenter, LS John Denney

OFFENSE 26
LT Jake Long, Andrew Gardner
LG Justin Smiley, Brandon Frye
C Jake Grove, Joe Berger

RB Ricky Williams, Patrick Cobbs, Pat White (QB)
FB Ronnie Brown, Lousaka Polite
SE Ted Ginn, Patrick Turner, Anthony Armstrong

Abandoned the Draft Sean Smith at #25 Bandwagon to Join the Draft Sean Smith at #61 Bandwagon and get Vontae Davis and a 5th Rounder. Trio > me.
