I understand how the depth chart works but it still screams to me that we lack any substantial depth at OT. Steinback at tackle scares the hell out of me. He doesn't have a big enough butt or legs to be on the bookend.

I agree..that is why I have been talking OT for a year now.....but it is what it is...Stein is the #1 back-up at LT. At least for now. Maybe in a few weeks Trautwein actually learns the plays and proves he is a worthy player.

...Robiskie is the official camp disappointment. Doesn't mean he won't end up good, but he isn't good right now...

Not that I'm giving up on Robo, but I REEEEEALY wanted Rey-Rey instead of Robo. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

If and buts, fruits, nuts, etc., etc.

i love that Mangenie is granting our wishes and attempting to solidify the defense. it's what we need in the AFCN.

He's only the 3rd tackle because the team was required to put out a depth chart. Actually Steinbach is the backup at LT and maybe even RT. Womack played some RT in preseason. Trautwein isn't going to see the field if someone gets hurt. Mack has been practicing with the 1st team this week and Furrey is the slot receiver. In two receiver sets it has been Cribbs and MoMass splitting time depending if Cribbs is coming off a long return and needs a blow or not.

That depth chart isn't what you will see on game day. Poteat has been playing the nickle and Adams comes in in dime situations in place of Elam. Maiava has been subbing when they go to the 46 defense (maybe because Bowens was banged up). There are a lot of situational groupings that make the depth chart unreal. A lot of subbing at OLB, DL and DBs depending on situations.

Steiny is the third tackle at this point, where their depth rest with inside guys that can step in while Steiny moves to either tackle. Maybe Poke Chop moves to RT, but Steiny goes to LT.

The scariest thing I see is Phil Trautwein. He's our 3rd OT. Seriously? If Thomas or St Clair go down we have a guy called Phil Trautwein.

Man, I'd love to have him guarding my blindside.....

Cribbs listed as a starter at WR on depth chart now ... makes me scratch my head as to why they didn't get his deal re-done during the off-season ... he could be commanding a boatload by week four if he gets off to a good start at both PR and WR.

Zombo

To me, it would be bad business to pay Cribbs like a legit #2 WR until he shows it on the field. So my guess is they are waiting to see if his play matches his demands. If his play is commanding of a boatload, by season end, he'll get his $$$.

I think we are spoiled though after having Joe Thomas come in as a rookie and play every snap and go to the Pro-Bowl.

Yes. Just yesterday or today.

I just thought it was interesting since James Davis blew the doors off both training camp and the preseason games, and Jerome Harrison had a total of 0 touches, and Mangini still put Harrison ahead.

Not saying it's wrong, however.

I hope they both get the ball a dick load.

Hmm... Harrison still listed ahead of Davis.

Hmm... He does average 7.2 yards a carry

Seriously though you guys are so high on davis who has done nothing yet that you forgot about arguably our most explosive offensive player last year despite his VERY limited touches.

Pitt game 1 -- 1 touch 23 yards

Baltimore 1 touch 19 yards 1 td

Giants 4 touches (wow, a whole 4) 67 yards

Etc. Etc.

He is a "proven" playmaker if you will why should he be behind a rookie

I would have expected them to still have him returning punts, but to have him be WR and return punts and kickoffs? That's just begging for the guy to get dinged up on a kickoff return.

Also, I wonder if Rex will be active for Sunday's game.

We need all our linement protecting Quinn if we hope to have a chance. Minnesota might be the best defense we'll see outside our own division this year.
