Projecting the Final Tennessee Titans 53 Man Roster

I still don’t see how Gage will make this roster. He has been running with the 3rd team in nearly all of the preseason games. He doesn’t have a catch to his name. I know Munchak said that was because they know what they have in Gage, but wouldn’t they want him to develop some chemistry with Hasselbeck before the season (if they intended to keep him). So, I just don’t see Gage making this roster, unless the coaching staff is just so down on Hawkins (and now Curtis) that Gage gets the roster spot by default. I doubt that happens (this isn’t Jeff Fisher that we are talking about here).

On the OL, you will probably see Matthews make it before Durand (what has Durand done last season or this preseason). Also, I think Stingily will be practice squad material…I don’t see them keeping 9 OL.

I pretty much agree with the defensive assessment…I do think Ford may be cut as he doesn’t fit in with Gray’s system per se, but I expect him to make the roster.

I do think Robert Johnson will make it before Rennie Curran. They will need the safety depth more than the LB depth.

Guess I’d be surprised if we don’t have a 3rd QB.

I was thinking earlier I wanted to see your final 53 prediction, so to help me learn the back-end guys on the team this year…….and bam, here it is….perfect

That WR group scares me…..

Maybe it is because instead of seeing TD’s and yard with Britt, I see injuries and suspensions

cover up britt and then evaluate that group….yuck…..

offense desperately needs CJ…..

I feel better about our LB, DT, CB, and S groups than I did last year

in the secondary, at the very least I figure we need 2 of 3 CB’s to play good and 2 of 3 safeties to play good……

I don’t care who the odd man out is of those 6 (finny, av, jm, grif, hope, babs), as long as 4 show they can play and thus earn the minutes…..

I think Frank Walker will make the team along with Tommie Campbell – I don’t think they can go too thin at that spot and I don’t like moving a safety over to play outside although Babs seems capable

I don’t think Bailey will make the team – I think we have all around better special teams players now like Babs and Campbell and the new rules don’t help either

I think Rusty Smith makes the team – Hasselbeck has too much of an injury history and I think he is gonna be injured at times throughout the season

I think the Titans bring in a veteran swing tackle to pair with Otto and Velasco as the only OL backups – they need someone that can play left tackle

I think they bring in a veteran WR as well – I’m thinking a pretty big name. So they will cut Hawkins and Gage.

Smith will be cut and the Titans will find a new #3 QB among final cuts.

I don’t think that either Gage or Hope will make the final roster, if only because the team can save 8 million in cap space.

If Kevin Curtis shows anything in the last preseason game, he will make the final roster.

On the offensive line, Velasco, Otto, and Durand are decent backups. Nonetheless, it would not surprise me if a veteran who can play multiple positions on the line is brought in as a back up. My guess is that Durand will be cut in that instance.

Patrick Bailey and Rennie Curran will not make the final roster.

Fuller, Robert Johnson, and Myron Rolle will make the roster. Babineaux will start opposite Griffin and will be replaced by Johnson or Rolle by mid season.

Morgan may end up on the PUP list to start the season.

The team may have to pick up another DE and/or DT amongst final cuts.
