They won't keep three rookies. Look for Peerman to be back. McCalebb and Herron might be the odd men out.

McCaleb weighs 170 pounds, he would probably be better off moving to WR.

I think you nailed the running backs. I don't think they keep four tight ends/h backs..... Barring injury, I think Smith will be released.

Tate is making the team whether we like it or not.

I don't think Pressley will even be ready for the start of the Season. He had that injury pretty late in the year.

Smith played some FB in Cleveland so he can and I think Charles and Burkhead both have the ability to play a H back type position.

Perish the thought. With Bernard and Pacman, Tate's returning "skills" are no longer required.

People give up on Scott.....If healthy he will make this team or be traded..I want him 1 MORE YEAR with Hue as the RB coach..He is cheap(700K) and he knows the offense...If healthy keep him!

RB: BGE, Gio, B Scott and Peerman

Just don't feel you on Scott, J. He's had four seasons and has shown relatively nothing. Time to cut bait, now that some new blood has been infused.

The years that Marvin has decided to go without a true fullback have been disastrous for the running game. Look it up and start to weep as you remember Daniel Coats.

Was Scott's contract a guaranteed contract, or a contingent contract on whether he made the team?

If it was guaranteed, you can guarantee he is making the team.

BJGE, Gio, Peerman, Pressley

If Scott's contract is guaranteed, he is in, and Burkhead is going to try and be stashed on the practice squad, which I think will fail, but it is what will happen.

Now if Scott was not guaranteed, then Scott is out I think and Burkhead is in. Scott has been injured too much, has contributed very little, and is not durable enough to participate on special teams as often as a 3rd or 4th back should be willing to do.

McCalebb isn't making the team at WR. Crowded there as is. Hamilton is good enough that he'll make the team. McCalebb to practice squad.

I do not believe Gio will be used to return kicks. I think Hamilton will make it only if there is injury - Otherwise, I think he is heading to the PS.

BTW -- I don't have to like my own prediction - I just base my thoughts on what I think Marv will do.

What sort of measurable would you put on Bernard Scott doing well? A 100 yard game for another team?
