NFL Cut Day 2010: Predicting the Dolphins 53 man roster

Photo

Well today is a big day. It's the day all NFL teams must cut down their rosters to 53 players. Across the league, tough decisions are being made. For players on the roster bubble, last night was probably a sleepless night. And by 4 pm eastern today, their NFL dreams could either be realized or come to a temporary halt.

Of course, those who are cut could still land with another team or get re-signed to the practice squad. Likewise, those who squeak onto the roster could still find themselves without a job if their team decides they like a player cut by another team more. So it's important to consider that though we will have a 53 man roster later today, it's likely that the very bottom of the roster will look differently by the time the middle of the week comes.

With that said, everyone seems to enjoy putting together their 53 man roster prediction. So I figured I would throw mine out there, too. I've listed it below, followed by some comments on it.

Star-divide

Quarterback (3) - Chad Henne, Chad Pennington, Tyler Thigpen

Running Back (5) - Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, Patrick Cobbs, Lex Hilliard, Lousaka Polite

Wide Receiver (5) - Brandon Marshall, Brian Hartline, Davone Bess, Marlon Moore, Patrick Turner

Tight End (2) - Anthony Fasano, David Martin

Offensive Line (9) - Jake Long, Vernon Carey, Jake Grove, Joe Berger, John Jerry, Richie Incognito, Donald Thomas, Lydon Murtha, Pat McQuistan

Defensive Line (7) - Kendall Langford, Jared Odrick, Randy Starks, Paul Soliai, Marques Douglas, Tony McDaniel, Charles Grant

Inside Linebacker (4) - Karlos Dansby, Channing Crowder, Tim Dobbins, Micah Johnson

Outside Linebacker (5) - Cameron Wake, Koa Misi, Ike Alama-Francis, Charlie Anderson, Erik Walden

Cornerback (6) - Vontae Davis, Sean Smith, Will Allen, Nolan Carroll, Benny Sapp, Jason Allen

Safety (4) - Yeremiah Bell, Chris Clemons, Tyrone Culver, Reshad Jones

Special Teams (3) - Dan Carpenter, Brandon Fields, John Denney

So that is how I believe the final 53 will look by the time the day is done today. Truth be told, is practically identical to the 53 man roster I put together in the last version of the "Roster Bubble Watch." The only difference is that Nate Garner's on the IR now an his roster spot has been taken by Pat McQuistan, whom the Dolphins acquired on Friday in a trade from Dallas - and who is similar to Garner in that he can play many different spots along the offensive line.

Which decisions will be the toughest for the Dolphins to make today? I see four of them:

-Patrick Turner vs Roberto Wallace: I think that the Dolphins are very intrigued by Roberto's size and raw ability. But he's just that - raw. I also don't know if the coaches want to give up on the former 3rd round pick so quickly. That's why I have Turner just barely squeaking by onto the final 53.

-Erik Walden vs Quentin Moses: I have been writing off Moses for the past couple of years. But with the ascension of Alama-Francis, I think that Moses will lose out to Walden simply on special teams merit. Walden is one of the best special teamers on this roster. With that said, though, I wouldn't be surprised to see neither of these two make it. After all, Walden may be a good special teams player. But I am having a hard time coming up with a group of eight inactive players so that Walden is actually active on game days.

-Jason Allen vs Nate Ness: Ness was an early camp/preseason break-out favorite. But he didn't finish camp and the preseason as strong as he started it. Of course, Allen wasn't very good, either. But Allen is a core special teams player. But Ness can play special teams, too, and wouldn't be nearly as expensive. So don't rule this year out as the year Jason finally gets cut.

-Lydon Murtha vs Pat McQuistan vs Cory Procter: I have two of these three sticking. But there is a chance only one makes it. Procter and McQuistan were both with Sparano in Dallas. Both are versatile backups. But you have to assume that McQuistan's acquisition on Friday was proof that the coaches aren't particularly high on either of the other two.

I know some are going to try and predict who ends up on the practice squad. Keep in mind that those moves don't occur until the players clear waivers, meaning we won't know who gets re-signed to the practice squad until Monday afternoon. Still, my best guesses would include John Nalbone, Roberto Wallace, Chris McCoy, Austin Spitler, Nate Ness, Jonathan Amaya, and Ryan Baker.

I agree with your 53.

I would prefer Wallace over Turner, but, I think Wallace ends up on the PS. Maybe we pick up someone else at the WR position. Who knows.

by FinFanFromCA on Sep 4, 2010 5:36 AM EDT reply actions  

My case for Wallace over Turner

In what essentially was the biggest job interview of his life, Wallace had 3 catches, 59 yards, and a touchdown. Turner had one catch for 29 yards. IOW, when the time came to make plays, Wallace showed up, Turner did not.

Turner is just another possession WR on a team with great possession WRs. Wallace has better speed. Sparano talked about his ability to stretch the field in camp. On a team that needs speed especially at WR, Wallace offers that speed while Turner does not.

Since we’re talking about a 5th WR, we aren’t talking about someone getting loads of PT. Turner was the 5th WR last season and was only active for 2 games. But Wallace plays ST and Turner does not. Wallace has looked decent on ST this camp, while Turner has not. His willingness and ability to play ST gives the coaches something they desire which is versatility. That means instead of just taking up space or being inactive on game days, he could contribute, if nothing more than a ST tackle or block.

Wallace is a raw WR, but Turner is no polished vet out there. This is Turner’s 2nd TC versus only one for Wallace. Turner has already been passed by one rookie UDFA. So if Turner was making a lot of noise in camp, you think he’d be ahead of Moore. But it appears he isn’t. That tells me, he still needs a lot of work.

Turner is supposed to be this big red zone threat. But in the game Thursday night, Thigpen led two TD drives and both drives ended up inside the 10 yard line. On both scoring plays, we had two WRs on the field: Moore and Wallace. In a game where EVERYBODY plays, our big red zone “threat” wasn’t on the field when he should have been. Wallace was on the field and scored what could have been the game winning TD.

The biggest thing holding Wallace back is the fact that Turner was a 3rd round pick from last year. You would think that they would be too proud to give up on a 3rd round pick from last year. However, after acquiring Marshall, it was mentioned that Turner could be on the outside looking in. He’s already been passed by one rookie UDFA. If we go after a player cut from another team, then we would have to cut Turner. Plus coaches and FOs love when they can find a good rookie UDFA as that makes them look good as well. The topic of Pat White has been beat to death on this site, but he could be sent packing. If they cut him, a 2nd round and much higher profile pick, they could just as easily cut Turner. So pride SHOULD not be an issue here.

Wallace will never make it to the practice squad. The fact he is 6’4", 225 with 4.4 speed means that SOME team would take a chance on him. Teams like the Bills, Rams, or even the Vikings could use some extra bodies at WR and would have no problem picking up a guy like Wallace.

To conclude, I think Wallace offers more to this team than Turner. Both guys are big targets and both are very raw. But Wallace offers speed and ST versatility that Turner just doesn’t offer. In the ONE game where the bottom of the roster is asked to make plays, Wallace did and Turner didn’t. Wallace equaled or surpassed Turner’s stats for the entire preseason.

Turner has had one full season and two preseasons to make his presence felt and has had no impact. Wallace has already made an impact in one preseason. Turner was passed by a guy taken after him in the draft last year and now has been passed by an undrafted rookie this year, possibly another. If we keep him, who will pass him next year, one of us? Its time to cut bait with Turner and give Wallace a chance. He can’t do any worse than Turner.

nice write up

but i think the roster spot comes down to wallace vs hilliard….

do you keep the luxury of a 5th back or the luxury of a 6th receiver….

and on that point – wallace has upside – hilliard is a career Special teamer with no real upside.

The Future is now, stop the bandwagon and lets get the Henne train rollin, as we all hope that the 14th dwarf is the real prince charming.

by W NY Fins Fan on Sep 4, 2010 11:51 AM EDT up reply actions  

Well I'm talking about the 5th WR

The 5th WR and Hilliard should make the 53 man roster. As far as being on the active game day roster, it depends who plays special teams better which might be Hilliard right now.

i agree as well - wallace over turner

this is the (uncapped) year to admit mistakes and cut losses – goodbye to Pat White and Turner – it is a drag because thus is viewed as wasted picks – but you have to continue to improve the roster. i hope the reasoning above permeates with the Miami FO as well.

turner has never shown me anything. Both Moore or even Wallace could be a diamond in the rough. Keep them both and cut ties with Pat

Turner > Wallace

Only because last preseason Turner had a great preseason which amounted to 0 minutes logged in game time. Wallace has a couple of catches so who didnt. They re both project but one has already has a year of class under his belt.

Ted Marshall?

by okokokaay on Sep 4, 2010 9:10 AM EDT reply actions  

This FO likes players who are versatile

Wallace plays ST and Turner does not. For that reason alone, Wallace should get the spot over Turner. He could see the field on ST instead of wasting a spot on Turner, who again, will not see the field.

And by your logic, since Turner has one season under his belt, he should outperform two undrafted rookies. Yet Moore has passed him already. Hartline passed him last season, despite being drafted after him. He can’t see the field in a preseason where everyone plays.

Turner is just another possession WR on a team that doesn’t mean another one. Wallace has similar size, more speed, and has versatility. Its time to cut bait with Turner and give someone else a chance.

So if these 53 make the squad, then who will be the 8 inactive for game day?

This is my guess:

1. Thigpen
2. Turner
3. Murtha
4. Marques Douglas
5. Micah Johnson
6. Charlie Anderson
7. Will Allen- just because he’s hurt. If he’s ready then I think it could be Carroll, especially since Cobbs took some kickoffs against Dallas.
8. Culver- letting Jones play some ST

This would keep our best ST players active: J. Allen, Sapp, Walden

Housh

I would like us to bring in Housh when he is cut by the Seahawks. They Hawks are on the hook for his 7 million salary and it will be a cheap upgrade and a great #2 option for Henne and the Dolphins at WR

"Raw"

I’ve seen this term used a lot lately describing our new WRs. Can someone explain it to me? I thought it mostly meant that these guys didn’t run good routes, block up field, etc.

It seems like Wallace already does these things better than Turner. We all know Turner can’t run a good route to save his life. I’m confused why the justification for keeping Wallace over Turner is that Wallace is “raw”.

why

wallace and moore were asked to do different roles… moore running mostly underneath slot routes and wallace was running the deep clear out patterns… wallace frequently drew double which freed up moore… and that is all before you count the measurables which wallace wins in a slam dunk.

How about and UDFA beating out a 3rd round second year player?

I don’t get how this FO seems to whiff on some of the early picks and yet does such a good job with the later picks and even some of the undrafted guys.

PAT TURNER CUT: I think the Fins made the right decision here.
I’m told this is depth chart at WR: Marshall, Hartline, Bess, Wallace, Moore — with Pruitt on practice squad. Wallace is ahead of Moore.
Breaking News: Source says WR Patrick Turner has been cut in favor of Roberto Wallace and Marlon Moore, who have both made Miami’s roster.
Dolphins have now kept three undrafted wide receivers in three years. I’m interested to see if Wallace/Moore can keep development going.

I like this move…. your thoughts?

They risked with with Pat White since they had two 2nd rounders. They knew the risk. If Turner continues to grow he can still become a starter. We just got lucky with our UDFA’s.

neither.

although i like the guy

and i’m most likely the only one…. J Allen has to be the most disliked guy …. only because first rounders that don’t play are seen as blown picks.
