Need to see an ophthalmologist? I can recommend a good one.

Lol, sorry. Copied it from Word. I'll make it better later.

[rmw10]

Update now posted on page 6, since our roster seems to keep on changing!

[billick]

We may run a lot of Red Zone banana routes.  Replace Boldin with a fullback ?

[ClintLB8]

Still very early in the process, but I am going to go ahead and give my best jab at the 53 man roster for this upcoming year.

 

Offense:

 

QB - Flacco, Taylor (2)

RB - Rice, Pierce, Allen (3)

FB - Leach, Juszczyk* (1)

TE - Pitta, Dickson, Juszczyk* (3)

OT - Oher, McKinnie, Reid, Wagner* (4)

OG - Yanda, Osemele (2)

OC - Gradkowski, Jansen* (2)

WR - Smith, Jones, Doss, Williams, Thompson, Mallette* (6)

 

Total Offense: 23

 

Defense:

 

DE - Canty, McPhee (2)

NT - Ngata, Williams*, Cody (3)

DT - Jones, Spears, Tyson (3)

SAM - Upshaw, Dumervil* (pass rush specialist), McClellan (3)

MIKE - R. McClain*, J. McClain, McClellan (2)

WILL - Brown*, Bynes, (2)

RUSH - Suggs, McClellan, Simon* (2)

CB - Webb, Graham, Smith, Brown, Jackson (5)

FS - Huff*, Brown (2)

SS - Elam*, Ihedigbo, Thompson (3)

 

Total Defense: 27

 

Special Teams:

 

P - Koch (1)

K - Tucker (1)

LS - Cox (1)

KR - Jones

PR - Jones

 

Total Special Teams: 3

 

Predicted Practice Squad Players:

 

OLB - Adrian Hamilton

CB - Marc Anthony

ILB - Nigel Carr

RB - Bobby Rainey

OG - Antonie McClain

OT - Jack Cornell

QB - Unknown

 

Notes:

 

- I have David Reed and Ramon Harewood not making the team this year.

- With Jansen being able to play center, he will probably back up Gradkowski and also contribute as a back up guard along with either Jah Reid or Bobby Wagner.

- We could very well still go after a WR in FA, and if we do, then I say either LaQuan Williams or Deonte Thompson will be the odd man out. I say this because I do not see us carrying more than 6 WR because we have 3 legitament pass catching TEs along with a good receiving running back in Ray Rice and a surprising good receiving FB in Leach. No need for more than 6 receivers.

- If you notice, I only have us carrying 5 corners, while this may seem like it isn't enough, I am also predicting Huff will play some CB in certain situations. This is why I was able to have the team keep 5 safeties, who I think are all worth keeping on the 53.

- If our front seven gels, this could be something special. I have never seen anything like this. I am still holding strong to my assumption that Rolando McClain will become a force in our 3-4 defense, and if that were to play out like I expect, we would be VERY dangerous on defense.

- I'm not sure who will end up being our #3 QB on the PS, but I have a very strong feeling it will continue to be a dual threat guy to keep Tyrod as healthy as possible.

[RobFuseRaven]

Good prediction. I'd love to somehow have Furstenburg, Hamilton and Carr on the main roster. I want Holloway and Gerrard Sheppard to make the practice squad.

[Denny UK]

Do you have Streeter missing the cut?
Certainly looking at the names not on that list shows how difficult it is to get on the roster.
It'll be interesting seeing how some of the UDFAs get on, Holloway would be an interesting add to the practise squad, give him time to get up to speed.

[GrimCoconut]

I'll post my own breakdown later, but I think Furstenburg makes the cut to replace Bajema at the very least. I think Jameel starts out on PUP & Thompson starts on suspension, of course. We'll probably use that time to see what Marc Anthony & McAdoo or another developmental guy can do then stash them later if we must.

I think Gaines will be on the IR this year as he had knee surgery recently IIRC. I think we'll use that to designate him an IR candidate. I also suspect Holloway ends up on IR, "unfortunately."

[descent into the maelstrom]

I recall that Jack Cornell really impressed the coaches thru the preseason last year.  With an extra year of experience, I think he has a good chance of making the roster.

Here are my opinions on your breakdown:

 

1. I don't think there's anyway we only go with 8 lineman considering how inexperienced all of the backups are.  I think we carry 9, but that's just my opinion.

 

2. I honestly cannot see LaQuan making this team, as much as I like him.  I think that was shown last year when he was sent to the "IR" over David Reed coming off on injury and Deonte Thompson who wasn't active for most of the year.

 

3. I don't see a reason to go with 8 defensive lineman.  We primarily run the 3-4.  It's hard enough to rotate 6 guys in let alone 8.  I can see 7, but I think carrying 8 would waste a roster spot.

 

4.  Christian Thompson doesn't count against the roster immediately because he's suspended.  Marc Anthony or Chris Johnson would likely take his place.

 

But hey, those are just my opinions!

[Alexir]

Ray Holley cut already to make room for McKinnie

But hey, those are just my opinions!

 

Offensive Line:

 

I think with Jah Reid going into his 4th year, he would be a very nice backup at really any position along the OL other than center. Good part about it, we have guys that can play several different positions:

 

Yanda (starting RG, but has experience at RT if FORCED)

Oher (starting RT, but has experience at LT if needed)

Osemele (starting LG, but has experience at RT if needed and has LT potential)

Reid (can play either tackle or guard position, even though I hope LT is never forced)

 

The only position we would struggle at is center if Gino got hurt. You may be right, we may go with 9 OL, but if we do then it needs to be a veteran center.

 

LaQuan Williams:

 

I believe you are right. I believe a veteran WR will be brought in and it will be the end of LaQuan Williams. I'm sticking with the fact that we will not go over 6 WR.

 

Defensive Line:

 

I get where you are coming from there, and now that I think about it, it will more than likely be 7. If you are correct, it will be extremely important to see where Terrance Cody is during training camp. If he seems to be turning it around, I could see DeAngelo Tyson being a practice squad player or just flat out getting cut. I hate to say that, the guy has a lot of potential and flashed a bit.

 

Christian Thompson:

 

Ah, yet again, you are correct. I forgot about that. For that time being then, it would be nice to see Marc Anthony on the 53.

 

 

 

 

With all this being said, I guess this is what I would change and like to happen:

 

- Replace DeAngelo Tyson with a veteran offensive center on the 53 man roster (I would prefer to bring back Jason Brown). He is the perfect option because he is familiar with the team and he has a ton of starting experience under his belt. Definitely best option available IMO.

- Trade a 2014 7th round pick for Nate Washington from Tennessee and have him replace LaQuan Williams on the roster. A top 3 of Torrey Smith, Nate Washington, and Jacoby Jones with a sprinkle of Tandon Doss and maybe Aaron Mallette would really help the position. Especially with 3 guys at TE like Pitta, Dickson, and Juszczyk also contributing.

- Marc Anthony replaces Christian Thompson's spot on the 53 man roster until he returns.

 

That would make the following roster:

 

Offense:

 

QB - Flacco, Taylor (2)

RB - Rice, Pierce, Allen (3)

FB - Leach, Juszczyk* (1)

TE - Pitta, Dickson, Juszczyk* (3)

OT - Oher, McKinnie, Reid, Wagner* (4)

OG - Yanda, Osemele (2)

OC - Gradkowski, Brown*, Jansen* (3)

WR - Smith, Washington*, Jones, Doss, Thompson, Mallette* (6)

 

Total Offense: 24

 

Defense:

 

DE - Canty, McPhee (2)

NT - Ngata, Williams*, Cody (3)

DT - Jones, Spears (2)

SAM - Upshaw, Dumervil* (pass rush specialist), McClellan (3)

MIKE - R. McClain*, J. McClain, McClellan (2)

WILL - Brown*, Bynes, (2)

RUSH - Suggs, McClellan, Simon* (2)

CB - Webb, Graham, Smith, Brown, Jackson, Anthony* (6)

FS - Huff*, Brown (2)

SS - Elam*, Ihedigbo (2)

 

Total Defense: 26

 

Special Teams:

 

P - Koch (1)

K - Tucker (1)

LS - Cox (1)

KR - Jones

PR - Jones

 

Total Special Teams: 3

 

That might just have us set for another run!!

[GrimCoconut]

I would IR Tyson before cutting him.

[rmw10]

 

 

LaQuan Williams:

 

I believe you are right. I believe a veteran WR will be brought in and it will be the end of LaQuan Williams. I'm sticking with the fact that we will not go over 6 WR.

 

 

Just to touch on LaQuan again.  I honestly feel that he doesn't even have much of a chance as the roster stands today.  Obviously Torrey, Jacoby, and Tandon are above him.  By IRing him last year, I think it showed that Reed and Thompson are above him as well.  That's 5 receivers already.  1 spot to go and 3 guys vying for the spot.  I think that both Streeter and Mellette would be chosen over LaQuan.  I like the guy, but I'd much rather go with one of Streeter or Mellette since that's likely a bench/ST/learning role anyway.  Might as well go with a guy that has a much higher ceiling.

I'm very interested in seeing the WR competition this year. I think we will see quite a few guys go on IR. Jones is a free agent next year. Like it or not I do expect him to be a big part of the offense. I think his punt return role will thus be reduced.

I also expect Dickson to have an increased role.

The question then becomes do we get another WR or not? That's the million dollar question.

Should definitely be a fun competition to watch.  9 guys (if you include Gurley) for 6 spots.  I'm interested to see more of Jacoby at WR and I definitely think Dickson is someone a lot of people have written off.  I personally think he's going to have a pretty good year.

My honest opinion is we will try to really get Dickson and Jacoby really involved with a lot of snaps. We seem to do that with guys in their final year. I think the reason is two fold.

On one hand you can see what they really have. You can make a better decision than if you let them ride the bench because you can see their work and go off of that to determine whether or not you re-sign them. If you can't re-sign them then their value will go up and you get a comp out if it. It's brilliant. We always keep the cream of our crop. If s guy is worth it we will keep them.

[Yatagarasu]

Updated with UDFA cuts

 

I think our roster is fine, but like every year, the team will bring in players and try to find gems.

[GrimCoconut]

I think Terrence Cody makes the 53 & it makes some people mad. Cody has been a huge disappointment (lol), but I think we'll keep him for the depth as he could rotate with Williams. It would allow us to keep Ngata at DE, with Canty as his back-up. On the other side we would have Arthur Jones & Pernell McPhee, with Marcus Spears as well. That would leave us with 7 DTs. I think we'll stash Tyson on the PS or even IR if we think he won't make it. Tyson hasn't had a huge impact (though I loved what I saw from him), so I can see the Ravens thinking he would be safe on the PS. 

 

I also suspect that Kapron Lewis-Moore will go on the NFI list.

We'll see how he shows up in training camp. Drafting Brandon Williams gave us a lot of leverage on Terrence Cody. If he shows up, then we might be able to resign him for cheap. You can never have enough Nose Tackles. 

 

Goalline Package:

 

Upshaw - Cody - Williams - Ngata - Jones - Suggs

[GrimCoconut]

Forgive the long post. If you don't want to read, I included a TLDR version. Just skip my thoughts & read the names. The ones without an asterisk are what I believe are locks. The ones with asterisks I think could be casualties--whether on IR, PUP, or PS.

Quarterback: (2) Flacco, Taylor.
This one was easy.

Wide Receiver: (6) Smith, Doss, Jones, Thompson, Streeter, Reed*, Mellette*, Sheppard*.
Torrey is our #1 WR, but after him it’s a mystery. JJ appears to be the #2, but I think he’ll be #3 & KR with PR delegated elsewhere to keep him fresh. He must perform well in camp, because if he’s sloppy after DWTS then he could see himself cut or in the doghouse. I think we keep Thompson & Reed for their return skills & receiving skills & potential. I think Streeter makes it because we’ll want to give him live game reps & he is different than our other WRs. I regret not putting Mellette on here, but he’s from a small school & is similar to Doss so I think we let him develop. LaQuan Williams is cut or put on IR. I see Sheppard sticking, ending up on PS or IR—most likely PS.

Running Back: (3) Rice, Pierce, Allen*, Rainey*, Berry*
This is a quiet battle & it’s bigger than most recognize. After Rice & Pierce, the rest is a mystery. Allen, Berry, & Rainey will fight for that other spot. Allen offers a lot on ST & was an excellent lead blocker for JJ & he’s also young. Rainey is mini-Ray Rice & would make an ideal back-up but needs real work as a ST player—the reason he was cut/IR/whatever. Berry is in an interesting spot, because he’s looked great as well & seems to offer a lot on ST as a returner, like Rainey. Rainey is also older & will be the same age as Rice, so he either makes it or he’s cut. I think Juszczyk changes things, as I think he could do what Allen does, thus eliminating the need for Allen who could end up on IR with Berry released or on the PS. Allen no longer has PS eligibility.

Fullback: (2) Leach, Juszczyk.
There’s not much of a battle here. These two, I believe, will be on the roster unless something shocking happens. Juszczyk’s performance could change things for Allen. If Juszczyk can lead block like Allen does, then Allen could see himself without a job or put on IR.

Tight-End: (3) Pitta, Dickson, Furstenburg.
I see Pitta replacing Boldin’s production, Dickson replacing some of Pitta’s, & Furstenburg rotating in there & getting some reps & primarily being used to block. He’ll get some receptions—no question. He just won’t blow it up. I think we’ll feature Dickson to increase his market value, as I expect Pitta re-signed & Dickson to walk. Dickson isn't a bad player so I expect him featured more regardless.

Offensive Linemen: (9) McKinnie, Osemele, Gradkowski, Yanda, Oher, Jensen, Wagner, Harewood*, Reid*, Cornell*, Unga*, Devey*, DeMilio*
Our starting OL is set. McK, KO, GG, Yanda, Oher. I see Jensen sticking because we need a back-up to Gino. Harewood & Wagner will probably battle it out for the back-up spot behind the G/T. Harewood has played LT in preseason, & Wagner seems like a guy we would use at RT. We’ll keep a few guys on the PS to be reserve guards & tackles. I think Reid could be placed on PUP due to his toe surgery, but that depends on his participation in camp. Harewood could be cut for one of the UDFAs like DeMilio, Unga, Devey or Cornell. I see Roger Gaines placed on IR.

Special Teams: (3) Tucker, Koch, Cox.
Set.

Nose Tackle: (2) Williams, Cody
A lot of us want to write-off Cody, but I think he sticks. Worst-case he goes on IR or something. We won’t cut him. He’s too good of depth. He’s cheap. If Williams does beat him, he makes good depth behind him. Ngata will also rotate in here as well.

Defensive End: (5) Ngata, Jones, McPhee, Canty, Spears*, Tyson*
I see Ngata starting at RDE like always. The LDE spot is very interesting. It could be any of those guys. I think we’ll put McPhee at RDE behind Ngata because of his pass-rushing skills. Jones I see starting at LDE with Canty behind him. Spears I see as purely a depth player and may be cut (though unlikely). I think Tyson goes on the PS or IR.

Outside Linebacker: (5) Suggs, Dumervil, Upshaw, Simon, McAdoo*, Hamilton*, Williams*, Copeland*
Here’s a tough one. Suggs, Dumervil, Upshaw are making the team. We could stash Simon, but I think he makes it. That’s four already. I think we could bring McAdoo up, but he’s in a tight battle here with Hamilton, Copeland, Williams (Meshak). We have a ton of depth here.

Inside Linebacker: (4) Brown, McClellan, Bynes, R McClain*, J McClain*, Carr*
Here’s a tough one. I think we go in with 4 ILBs. Brown’s making the roster unless injured. I think Bynes sticks because of ST & his performance last year. McClellan is one of Harbs’ guys, versatile, ST player. That’s already three guys. Both McClain’s are question marks—I think Jameel starts on PUP. Nigel Carr can go on the PS. I think Brandon Copeland could be a dark horse to play ILB as well, as we experimented with him at MLB in rookie camp.

Cornerback: (5) Webb, Smith, Graham, Brown, Jackson, Anthony*
This is pretty easy, actually. Unless someone gets hurt, everyone but Anthony will make the roster. I have Anthony as a question mark because we might redshirt him. Huff can play CB as well as FS/SS, so his versatility helps alleviate concern.

Safety: (4) Elam, Huff, Ihedigbo*, Levine*, Brown*
I put asterisks by Brown & Ihedigbo because I’m not sure they stick. Elam & Huff are the only guarantees. Harbs likes Levine, so I wanted to put him on here, too. In fact, if it wasn’t for Ihedigbo being with us last year, ST play, & being a veteran I would’ve expected us to cut him, honestly. Thompson will be suspended, so I think we keep him around until then, but he could be gone before that.

PUP: Reid (toe surgery in late-January), J. McClain (spinal injury)
These are possibilities—not facts. I’m less convinced on Reid because it was a dislocated toe that was surgically repaired. Still, toes are very important to linemen. He could be placed on PUP until we feel it has properly healed, as well as to test our depth.

IR: Gaines (knee surgery), Lewis-Moore (ACL)
Gaines is a project. I think we place him on IR like Streeter. Lewis-Moore had a torn ACL from the championship game against Alabama. He won’t play this year no matter what the FO says.

SUSP: Thompson (4wks)
We could see Rolando on this list as well. Thompson being on SUSPENSION is a blessing in disguise, IMO. It lets us see our back-ups like Brown, Levine, & Ihedigbo. Thompson will be back on the roster once his suspension is lifted, but the question is who is cut.

[Yatagarasu]

It's good to have a deep depth because I remembered back in 2009, our roster was decimated and we barely squeaked into the playoffs with a tired and hurting group. 

 

I feel our depth will be fine since a couple UDFA along with most of the low round picks will sneak into the 53. Ozzie knows what he's doing and I have faith we'll get the best 53.

[Yatagarasu]

Updated with the A.Q. Shipley acquisition.

 

Our O-line looks deep.

 

Bryant McKinnie - LT
Kelechi Osemele - OG/OT
Gino Gradkowski - OC

Marshal Yanda - RG
Michael Oher - OT

A.Q. Shipley - OC
Jah Reid - OG/OT

Ricky Wagner - OG/OT
Ramon Harewood - OG/OT
Ryan Jensen - OC

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

so then, we got 79 players on the active roster, 3 exclusive right FAs and 2 restricted FAs - that's a total of 84 players (i good at maths, i am); but lately we've been releasing players with every new player we bring in; am i missing something, we've still got 6 slots open from what i can see...

[Moderator 3]

http://www.baltimoreravens.com/team/roster.html is the best I can offer you.

79 active players, 5 FAs, and 4 unsigned draft picks to get to 88. 2 open spots.

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

that's where I took my info from and compared it with all the other outlets, which show the same (copy cats lol) - without cook though who was cut last week and info not yet changed on our website to reflect this
 

79 active players, 5 FAs, and 4 unsigned draft picks to get to 88. 2 open spots.

the 5 FAs you mention are my 3 exclusive right FAs and 2 restricted FAs (brown, levine, rainey, dickson and pitta)
but the 4 unsigned draft picks are already considered within the 79 active players, they are the top four picks from this draft (elam, brown, williams and simon)

Check Wikipedia, which is actually a very good source for keeping track of the roster.  If you count the active roster portion, it will be 83 guys, 79 being active and 4 being unsigned draft picks.  The right side of the roster has the 5 FAs.

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

ok this is what we got - red are the four not listed on our website (which is still got cook) and are active roster; blue for the four unsigned also on active roster and green for the five FAs - 88 in total
