Burner's Burning Questions: Predicting The Final Fifty-three

[Fear The Spear]

however I'd be shocked if we entrust all of our return duties to a rookie who has fumbled twice in the preseason so far.

He did it with Brandon Banks

And Crawford was a rookie last year, although without the fumble problems of Banks.

With the cap you have to count on younger players to be your principal returners. The suggestion we throw 34 year old Santana Moss out there on punts when he is this valuable to the offense and Robert is simply absurd.

I'm not sure that Chris gets the primary return duties right away. I am sure that he makes the 53.

(Boy, I hope I didn't just jinx him.)

Tougher cuts this year because the team is better.

In 2010 you could make a case of cutting guys that actually went on to make the team.

One position in particular seems difficult to make any more cuts - linebacker. It appears all the players under contract here can play.

At other spots it appears Jawan Jamison is not going to make it. I also think Maurice Hurt's injury is going to open up a spot for Tony Pashos in 2013.

How about Xavier ?

I think with what happened last year with the mid-season call for Jordan Black, a forgettable experience, Shanahan is going to decide to go into the season with some experience off the bench as the swing tackle. Pashos also played guard in Baltimore so he is capable of backing up on the inside as well.
