Default Roster/Practice Squad

We have a little over a week to go to the start of the season. The 53 man roster and 16 man practice squad are set, at least initially. I'm wondering what you folks think of this team. Not just the individual players but how this roster is constructed. Ballard said when he started that he was going to build a team from the trenches. It appears he meant it. He wants to dominate on both sides. I think there is a chance we just may be able to do that. I'm looking forward to seeing how the defensive line actually stacks up against a real NFL offensive line. Mostly the ends. They have potential, something I haven't felt for a long time, but they haven't done shit yet. Same with our wide receivers, potential but nothing of note yet. If this season is to be successful some guys are going to need to step up. Who do you all think can or will do that? Like to talk some football with people who care.

I feel like if we have everyone playing, and wentz plays solid, we can win the south and make a playoff run. I think maybe a year or two from a possible championship though.

I think the team is solidly constructed. We could probably use another good corner. But the season will come down to how Wentz plays and if the pass rush improves.

Look, a former Texicans starting WR is on our practice squad. We also have multiple players who were former starters, on other teams, that either couldn't make the cut or are backups for us.

I do agree that I do have a concern at CB though. Also the WR group has to step and play to their potential, especially because TY will be out for a few weeks and Pascal is questionable for week 1.

My only other concern is can Davenport hold up until Fisher comes back.

I'm not sure, but we may now be the youngest team in the NFL.

We have a deep, deep DL, but Paye and Turay have to deliver. If the preseason is any indicator our DL has the ability to dominate all game long.

we have a decently constructed roster but a lot of question marks at the most important positions.

can we generate a pass rush from the edge this year?

is wentz going to play well? probably not and fuck him

corner is sketchy.

tackle depth is a problem but is for most teams.

I’d feel a lot better if Castonzo was still around.

Wentz will probably miss at least one game for COVID, if not more.

Cornerback will be a bigger issue than many think because I have no faith whatsoever that Rhodes will repeat his performance from last year and there’s nothing behind him.
