Marcus Ball: Makes the final 53 or not?

Well we carried 7 last year and 3 were rookies. Many times we had 2 inactive.

Guys like Rufus Johnson Jr. and Keyunta Dawson play with their hand in the dirt more than OLB anyway.

Also think we may end up with 26 on defense (24 on Offense) because they are usually better ST players. That would give you your 7th DL.

I hear what you are saying, but I don't want an OLB going against a 300lb lineman when the offense only needs a yd. I'd rather have a bigger guy that can hold up. Personally if we are going to have more DB's I'd rather it be corners because generally they cover better than safeties.
