53ish roster fron Sun-Times

[Applefan]

Bears at 54, someone has to go to fit in Mack. Grasu, Cooper and Lynch making the 53 surprised me. Plus only 5 D-lineman? Mack and Lynch(if he stays) will proably see some time there.

So most of us had the WR's right with AR12, Gabriel, A.Miller, K.White,J.Bellamy (my boy) and J.Wims.

I love that we kept both D.Brown and Braunk and think we're gonna be using TE's a lot as we saw in the preseason.

Love that Coward made it after making the transition from d-line, Grasu obviously has more talent then anyone on this board thinks cause these coaches and GM's all keep on keeping him and if anyone has anything to say about that then talk to one of the best o-line coaches in the country (H.Heistand) cause he kept him.

Surprised we only kept 3 RB's

A.Lynch gets his chance

K.Toliver get his chance

Grasu?! Really?!

 

[Chicago Staleys]

Sherrick McManis stays on as the longest tenured Bear.

 

[Chicago Staleys]

If Shaheen goes on IR they won’t have to make room for Mack.

 

[Chicago Staleys]

Grasu?! Really?!

And Cooper!!!

Only 5 defensive linemen with no obvious backup nose tackle. Hmmmm. Hopefully John Jenkins can make it to the ps.

 

[number51]

7 rookies, that's good.

5 TE and 6 WR, not sure about that. 2 of those 6 WR are Bellamy and White, so basically 4 WR.

Surprised Toliver made it. Guess they see some potential there.

I am surprised by that too. Hicks played way too many snaps last year and Goldman should not play as many either. I wonder if they plan to sign someone else who was cut and then maybe they can finally get rid of Grasu.

Maybe Grasu is going to play NT now...

They cut Jenkins last year at the final cuts and then re-signed him week 2. Think it might be a case of not having to guarantee a vested players full year contract if he's not on the original 53 man roster and they probably don't value back-up NTs very highly.

Do you really think he could handle double duty at NT and fullback?

Vic actually plays a lot of 4 down linemen that looks a lot like a 4-3.

So once mack reports what happens:

Grasu traded or released
Cooper released
Shaheen on ir with designation to return

I'd think grasu has to go but who knows

Also....wouldnt be surprised if one of the olb (fitts/irving) or te when all 5 healthy is eventually let go to try and slide to ps for another dl (Jenkins)

When global nuclear war destroys the planet, only three things survive.

Keith Richards
Cockroaches
Hroniss Grasu

Keith Richards will still start at Guard over Grasu

He's been in the league too long for the PS, unless they changed the rule.

Ya gotta think they have an eye on the waiver wire for sure. Pace never sleeps and there will still be moves made.
