Thanks for this post. I was searching Google News and couldn’t find anything.

Anybody want to Volunteer and write down our Official Roster here?

I’m too tired/lazy. I had to work today.

QB – Big Ben, Batch, Dixon

RB/FB – FWP, Mendenhall, Moore, Summers

WR – Ward, Holmes, Sweed, Wallace, McDonald, Logan

TE – Miller, Spaeth, Johnson

OL – Starks, Hartwig, Colon, Essex, Kemo, Legursky, Foster, Urbik, Hills

DL – Hampton, Smith, Keisel, Hoke, Kirschke, Eason, Hood

LB – J. Harrison, Farrior, Timmons, Woodley, Fox, Frazier, A. Harrison, P. Bailey

DB – Polamalu, Clark, Carter, Mundy, Taylor, Gay, Townsend, Ratliff, K. Lewis, Burnett

ST – Reed, Sepulveda, Warren

I may have something wrong, but I think this is it.

Is it possible they are still working a trade?

Thanks for the roster Phantaskippy. After letting the 53 sink in;

1) Someone mentioned in another thread about Donovan Woods injury coupled with Timmons condition opened the door for Harrison. Totally agree with that. That said, as much as I didn’t think AH would stick because of his injury history and age he played real good all preseason and distinguished himself as a guy that can step in on a limited basis if need be. Also think Woods passes waivers due to injury and is on the PS. He will spend some time on the 53 man roster this year due to inevitable injuries.

2) I think Burnett will dress on game day over K Lewis and Mundy because he is a play maker on ST with great speed. Burnett was impressive the entire preseason when not PR. Mundy was impressive against Carolina and beat out A Madison with that performance along with his ability to play S. Think they are grooming him for Clarks spot in 10.

3) You all know Logan has been my guy since April. I will be the first one off the band wagon if he puts the ball on the grass but for now I am excited about the return game. Also hoping Whiz left a couple gadget plays that BA can figure out for Logan on O as a WR. Logan is my early pick for Steelers ROTY.

4) Wonder which DL doesn’t dress? They are deep with 90 & 93 but don’t you want to get Ziggy some PT? Did Ziggy do ST in preseason?

5) Been all over Sweed’s lunch since he dropped a couple sure TDs in playoff games after contributing little all year. That said, he flashed some skills during preseason and I am ready to wipe the slate clean and say Go Limas! Still think McDonald can be the sure handed 3rd receiver but wonder with Logan active on game day, how many WR dress?

The Browns cut one more player than they needed to, thus leaving an open roster spot. Anyone want to bet that they don’t sign Ike Redman at 6:01 tomorrow evening.

It really seems that we a better team on paper then last year – by unit my analysis:
QBS – Even – Lefty better than Batch, but Ben is Healthy and Dixon more experienced.
RBS – Better – Mendy develops and Tank should not be a drop off from Davis and may be a step up.
WRS – Much Better – probably the biggest single jump for a unit. Ward still looks good, Holmes developed, Sweed ready to take the jump, Wallace – unproven, but looks to take the top of as well if not better than Nate – McDonald – great insurance policy. Logan and Wallace allow much more creativity with gadget plays that were essentially gone last year.
TES – Even – but I do love Johnson, remains unproven but if he can block as well as he did in the preseason he will boost the short yardage game.
OL – Better- like the development on some of our players and the guys we lost were essentially on IR most of the season. Having said that we are completely unproven behind the starters. Promising young guys can look like turnstyles when they have to go in mid-season against a good D. Essex looks to be an upgrade and communication should improve.
DL – Even – Starters stay the same, Ziggy should be an upgrade in the energy department, but you have to believe that Smith and Hampton might be starting to slow down ever so slightly.
LB – Even – Timmons should be an upgrade over Foote. It remains to be seen if he will be. The depth suffers a bit from the loss of Timmons, but the development of Fox seems to make up for it.
DBs – Even – Loss of McFadden is serious, but Gay seems to be able to step in and play. Ratliff looks legit. Overall very good depth with good potential from the young guys.
ST – Much, much better – Sepulveda and Logan can add up to enormous difference in field position from last years. This went from a serious weakness to a potential strength.
