![]() Never ideal to have a rookie undrafted free agent on the field as a rookie, but the hope would be that his services don’t become necessary. Curhan has shown enough at guard and tackle this offseason that he might not make it through waivers, and could fill the role of versatile depth who can fill in at multiple spots on the line. That said, Forsythe has shown enough during the preseason that he likely gets the nod as depth at left tackle, and with Brown unlikely to practice much at all during the season will give Forsythe plenty of live fire reps during the year. Keep: Duane Brown, Brandon Shell, Stone Forsythe, Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake CurhanĬut: Jamarco Jones, Greg Eiland and Tommy Championīrown and Shell remain the starters and Ogbuehi, once healthy, is the swing tackle for now. Pocic’s hamstring could complicate things at the position, but if the team truly believes he’ll be ready to play, it’s possible Lewis could be the emergency center if needed. The starters on the offensive line are likely set, with Fuller likely to be the primary depth on the interior of the offensive line. Keep: Gabe Jackson, Ethan Pocic, Damien Lewis and Kyle FullerĬut: Jordan Simmons, Brad Lundblade, Jared Hocker, Pier-Olivier Lestage and Phil Haynes Having Luke Willson in for a visit doesn’t seem like a resounding vote of confidence for the foot of either Parkinson or Mabry, but the visit could be little more than getting Willson into the testing protocol so he’s able to sign to the practice squad next week if depth is needed. Either it’s bad, and he won’t play until well into the season, or it’s not that bad and he’ll be back in a couple of weeks. Keep: Gerald Everett, Will Dissly, Colby Parkinson and Tyler MabryĮverett and Dissly are locks barring injury Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Wright is because they already have emergency linebacker Nick Bellore in house. Meaning for those looking for another reason to hate Bellore, it’s possible that part of the reason the Hawks haven’t felt the need to bring back fan favorite K.J. Bellore did not convert to fullback until 2017, and prior to moving to fullback full time in 2018 he started a dozen games at linebacker while logging 819 defensive snaps for the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions. The only thing that might be worth adding is that in addition to being a core member of the special teams and a Pro Bowl fullback, Bellore also has the third most experience at linebacker on the roster. Here’s what I wrote about Bellore in July: Fans may hate his $1.7M cap number, but the odds of Bellore going anywhere other than onto the field for Larry Izzo’s special teams groups seem very long. Bellore has been on the field for 560 special teams snaps for the Seahawks since his arrival prior to the 2019 season, and that is where the focus should be for fans, rather than on his 64 offensive snaps. ![]() Here’s what I wrote about Bellore in May:įans keep calling for Bellore’s head, and Bellore and the team simply laugh at their naivete. Bellore’s the only fullback on the roster. Simply put, Homer is the third down back because he’s one of, if not the, best pass blocking running backs in the NFL, and that likely all but secures him a roster spot even after having missed most of training camp. If you can’t protect, I am not going to put you back there. Many may want to get rid of Homer and give his roster spot to Collins, but that ignores what running back coach Chad Morton had to say in a recent interview with Mike Dugar of The Athletic. ![]() Keep: Chris Carson, Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas and Rashaad PennyĬarson and Homer have yet to see the field during the preseason, while Dallas has potentially been the highlight of the team through the first two fake games. Mannion won’t be exposed to waivers after being cut, and likely takes up one of the spots on the practice squad for experienced players while holding down his role as the emergency quarterback. By Tuesday, August 31 at 4 PM New York Time the team must be down to 53 players, and here’s a final attempt at guessing what that might look like. Less than three weeks remain until the Seattle Seahawks take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season, and while the Hawks trimmed the roster from 85 to 80 players Monday, one round of cuts remains.
