Crack shot at the roster Part 1 (Before the cuts)




Hey guys, I remember I did this last year so guess what I'm doing it again, I will try my best to predict the roster of the '11 season you may give your imput if you'd like. Also I will give my list of people who have a small shot of making it, but I'm pulling for them to overcome the small shot. Projected roster and position on deph chart after the jump....

Star-divide

Offence:

QB: Kevin Kolb #4, John Skelton #19, Richard Bartel #2* *his veteran status will help him beat out Max Hall

RB: Beanie Wells #26, Ryan Williams #34, LaRod Stephens-Howling #36, Alfonso Smith #46

FB: Anthony Sherman #35* From what I have heard he is a great blocker and great on special teams he could have this locked down.

WR: Larry Fitzgerald #11, Andre Roberts #12, Early Doucet #85, Chansi Stuckey #17, Stephen Williams #18, Max Komar #10, DeMarco Sampson #89^* * He is showing potential although one of the last three could wind up on practice squad.

TE: Todd Heap #86, Jeff King #87, Rob Housler #84, Jim Dray #81* *The coaches love this guy and plus he is a good special teamer.

C: Lyle Sendlein #63, Ben Claxton #62, Rex Hadnot #70

G: Deuce Lutui #76, Daryn Colledge #71,  Floyd Womack #78

T: Jeremy Bridges #73, D'Anthony Batiste #74, Levi Brown #75,

Total Players: 27/53** Subject to change....

Defense:

CB: Richard Marshall #31*, Greg Toler #28, Patrick Peterson #21*, Michael Adams #27, A.J. Jefferson #20, Marshay Green #30^ *these guys may switch on depth chart barring Peterson in pre-season

DE: Calais Campbell #93, Vonnie Holliday #91, David Carter #79.

DT: Darnell Dockett #90, Dan Williams #92, Nick Eason #98, Ricky Lumpkin #60^ ^is a long shot but with the lack of depth he will make it.

OLB: Joey Porter #55, Clark Haggans #53, O'Brien Schofield #50, Sam Acho #94

ILB: Daryl Washington #58, Paris Lenon #51, Stewart Bradley #97, Quan Sturdivant #54

S: Adrian Wilson #24, Kerry Rhodes #25, Jered Campbell #32^*, Andrew Rich #38^*, Hazma Abdullah #23*, Rashad Johson #49* *I am only speculating that they make it and if they do you may not see Hazma or Rashad mainly becasue Hazma is mainly used for special teams and Rashad is not playing as well as the Cardinals hoped.

Total: 23/53

Special Teams:

K: Jay Feely #3

P: Ben Graham #5

LS: Mike Leach #82

Total: 3/53

Practice Squad:

Marshay Green^ #30, Andrew Rich #38^, Jered Cambell #32, Tom Pestock #68, Max Hall $6, Kris O'Dowd #60, D.J Young #67 (Stephen Skelton #44 may make it if Campbell and/or Rich make the team, and if they both make it don't be suprised to see another camp body on this PS)

Total: 7/7

the ones with the ^ by them are the ones I hope can make the team and were not counted in my totals.

So I ask what do you think of this roster?

I would also would like to know why you chose the people you did.

Yep Will Davis

And what happened to Brandon Keith?

Rashad will make the roster, Hamza probably too. Campbell and Rich probably won’t take their spots, that would be a bit surprising.

More possibilities: Reggie Walker, Curtis Gatewood, Aaron Nichols, Daiveun Curry-Chapman (NAU guy)

by Tyler Nickel on Aug 7, 2011 1:17 AM MDT up reply actions  

Well....

From what I have heard Acho, and Sturdivant have been playing well, same with Carter, so thatss why Gatewood, Wlaker, and Daviis are absent. They really like Porter and Haggans too much to get rid of them and Lenon played too well to be cut. But Brandon Keith could take Womacks spot.

No.

Keith is already the starter at left tackle.

If you don't have anything good to say about the Cards this season, you'd be correct.

by hevchv on Aug 7, 2011 11:15 AM MDT via mobile up reply actions  

right tackle.

If you don't have anything good to say about the Cards this season, you'd be correct.

by hevchv on Aug 7, 2011 11:16 AM MDT via mobile up reply actions  

Then he takes brown's spot?

by AZcardinals480 on Aug 7, 2011 11:41 AM MDT up reply actions  

Brown has been the left tackle for a while now

Keith was at right tackle before sustaining a season ending injury last season. Bridges took his place. Also, Carter is a DE, not a linebacker. How he plays has no bearing on the roster spots of Walker, Gatewood or Davis.

by Tyler Nickel on Aug 7, 2011 12:02 PM MDT up reply actions  

Haven't been to camp to see how he has done but wouldn't count Davis out for a second.

Would not think Haggans is an absolute lock either. Certainly not a lock to start. The team was willing to cut Porter if he didn’t take the pay cut. Haggans has not performed at a level to preclude his being axed. He in fact performed in the bottom ranks of all outside linebackers last season.

by hadrarius on Aug 7, 2011 2:59 PM MDT up reply actions  

I forgot about Quan Sturdivant

Anyone know how well he’s doing in camp?

"When life gives you lemons, I say f**k the lemons and bail."

by SGM on Aug 7, 2011 8:46 AM MDT reply actions  

Quan Solo?

Haven’t heard anything about him either.

by Skii on Aug 7, 2011 11:26 AM MDT up reply actions  

Read that he has not stood out yet.

Of course he doesn’t have much chance of breaking out either. He can make the team as depth only. Needs to have value on special teams.

by hadrarius on Aug 7, 2011 3:00 PM MDT up reply actions  

Maybe the CC's

brother shocks us all, and picks up right where Wilson leaves off, if he out for the season.

by Cardsfan928 on Aug 7, 2011 11:23 AM MDT reply actions  

Will Davis

I believe Davis makes the 53. Prior training camp it was suppose to be a battle between davis/haggans and schofied/porter for the starting olb positions. Davis has shown play making potential his first two years, of course injuries has held him back both years. I believe Davis will contribute this yr and I see a bright future for Davis and Schofield as the cardinals OLB. I believe both will make noise this year.

by monday1978 on Aug 7, 2011 11:57 AM MDT up reply actions  

Davis is coming off a broken fibula so that could slow him down in camp but as the season progresses he will be heard from. This guy could be the dark horse among the OLB. Let’s go CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by monday1978 on Aug 7, 2011 12:00 PM MDT reply actions  

Darnell is a DE

Also we won’t cut Jeff King, we just signed him. Add him and cut a WR because we won’t be carrying that many.
And Bridges won’t start over Levi.

by Jesse Reynolds on Aug 7, 2011 12:08 PM MDT reply actions  

He has Jeff King up there

But he took out Keith for whatever reason. Batiste is much more of a longshot than Keith. And yes, maybe cut one of those WR’s and maybe a safety.

Stephen Spach is a dark horse to make it on the roster. He threw a really nice block yesterday when Skelton ran it into the end zone himself. Dray is not a lock.

by Tyler Nickel on Aug 7, 2011 12:19 PM MDT up reply actions  

sounds way off to me. the starters will be

First forgive my spelling
QB Kolb
RB Wells
FB Sherman
TE #1 Heap #2 King
WR #1 Fitz #2 Roberts #3 Doucet
LT Brown
LG Coolidge
C Sendalyn
RG Lutui
RT Keith
On Defense
DE Dockett, Campbell
DT Williams
OLB Schofold, Davis
ILB Washington, Lenon
CB Toler, Peterson
SS johnson
FS Rhodes
Due to injuries of course and I see stewwert taking lenons spot later on. A-dub back to SS after injury is well

The Devil Birds just got cha

by DaCards on Aug 7, 2011 11:21 PM MDT via mobile reply actions  

I think Bradley starts at SILB from day one vs. the Panthers

Also, I expect Porter to start at OLB at first. Haggans is a possibility, but I am not even so sure he’ll make the roster. Williams should be the starting DT, but if he doesn’t get his weight under control, don’t expect Ray Horton to settle for that. Marshall is a possibility for starting CB. My guess would be him and Toler, since Peterson is a rookie. One more guess, I could see Mauia as the starting FB to start it off as well. Sherman will likely be a special teams contributor during his rookie season, but again, I could be wrong.

by Tyler Nickel on Aug 7, 2011 11:38 PM MDT up reply actions  

YES!!!

I think I gave Alpohonso Smith an awesome nickname “Subzerofonzo” just look at his tweet…. FonzoAZ46 Alfonso Smith 

QUICK EDIT

With Andrew Rich most likely cut due to ware being signed back I think that Cambell now has a shot at making the final cut…. that being said I think Ware would be cut and maybe if Adub can make the season so will J. Campbell unless Adub is on PUP…
and the CBs will be Toler, Marshall, Jefferson, Peterson, Green, and Adams. But Im not sure if Marshall can even make it…

why is everyone so down on Marshall?

the guy will be one of the top 3 corners on this team.

by Gildo on Aug 10, 2011 2:47 PM MDT up reply actions  

Also confused about this.

Marshall is low on the initial depth chart because he is brand new to the team. That is all. AJ Jefferson is the starting left corner right now. I like Jefferson a lot but it seems beyond reasonable to expect him to hold that spot for long.

by hadrarius on Aug 10, 2011 7:14 PM MDT up reply actions  

AJ Jefferson

Has the potential to be a solid corner his size (6’1 190lbs) is a good thing at the corner spot and i think it will be him and Toler as the starting corners and i think Rich decided to stop playing so that would leave a spot for J. Campbell to make the roster. I put Stephen Williams over Chansi Stuckey because of Williams size and speed and he has shown he has pretty good hands.
