Present State of the Roster

Interested to know how many at each position were on last year's opening day roster.

This is not exact, because there were -50- on the roster the first weekend (hence only four inactives), but once it settled out, it was typically

C/G: 4
T: 4
TE: 3
QB: 2
RB: 5
FB: 1
WR: 6
DE: 4
DT: 4
LB: 8
CB: 5
S: 4
ST: 3

...subject to the usual minor shifts for injuries, a player at various positions, etc. The defensive numbers were more fluid, I think. One thing the team can do this year is carry one less RB. Now is that an extra LB spot? Can RG1 be safely stashed on the PS?

One other question: Is there one of the back-up DBs (not 4th-string) who can emerge as the gunner? I like Roby, and he's very good at what he does, but if there's someone else who can be gunner -and- contribute elsewhere, that's a place to save a roster spot.
