One of my passions of following the Packers is pretending I was the General Manager and I am making decisions of the final Packers 2014 team roster! I know, crazy! But what the heck, let's take a look at the numbers as we continue to evaluate the roster!
As of now, July 4th 2014, we have 89 players on the roster. The goal by the end of August, to select 53 players to lead us to the Super Bowl!
Offense
Quarterbacks - 4
Fullbacks - 2
Running Backs - 6
Wide Receivers - 10
Tight Ends - 7
Tackles - 6
Guards - 6
Centers - 3
Total Offensive Players - 44
Defense
Safety - 7
Corners - 9
Outside Linebackers - 8
Inside Linebackers - 6
Tackles - 3
Ends - 9
Total Defensive Players - 42
Special Teams - 3
89 players and we need to get to 53! So, first a list of players I think are safe:
Offense
Quarterbacks - Rogers & Flynn or Tolzien = 2
Fullbacks - Kuhn = 1 (I think his last year & maybe the position disappears!)
Running Backs - Lacy, Starks, & Harris = 3
Wide Receivers - Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, Adams = 4
Tight Ends - Quarless, Bostick, Rogers, & Lyerla = 4
Tackles - Bakhtiari, Bulaga, Barclay, Sherrod = 4
Guards - Lang, Sitton = 2
Centers - Tretter & Lindsley = 2
So far that is 22 players
Defense
Safety - Burnett, Hyde, Clinton-Diz, Richardson = 4
Corners - Shields, Williams, Hayward, House = 4
Outside Linebackers - Matthews, Perry, Palmer, Mulumba, Bradford = 5
Inside Linebackers - Hawk, Jones, Barrington, Lattimore = 4
Tackles - Raji, Guion = 2
Ends - Daniels, Jones, Boyd, Peppers, Neal, Thorton = 6
That is 25 players for the defense
Special Teams - Masthay, Crosby, Goode = 3
They NEED to teach one of the offense lineman to long snap, this would guarantee another roster spot!
So far, that is 50 players, so 3 more out of the remaining 43 players! This is incredibly difficult! Every NFL team faces the same difficult decisions! Every year, players try to make NFL teams. As the numbers show, making an NFL roster is VERY, VERY, difficult! In two months we will see how close I was to predicting the Packer 2014 53 man roster!
