Here's my revised final roster w/ starts:
QB
Matt Cassel - 15/15
Brodie Croyle - 1/1
I'm comfortable with my QB situation for now. Obviously I need a better backup, if not a new starter.
-------------------------------------------------
RB
Jamaal Charles - 6/6
Thomas Jones - 10/10
Jackie Battle
I can't complain about my RBs this year, but Thomas Jones seemed to hit a wall so I'll probably be looking for a compliment to JC this off season.
FB
Tim Castille - 4/4
Blah. My team mostly used a 3 WR, 1 RB set, I guess.
-------------------------------------------------
WR
Dwayne Bowe - 16/16
Chris Chambers - 7/13
Dexter McCluster - 7/11
David Reed (Ravens) - 0/8
Jeremy Horne
And the 3 WRs usually weren't all that impressive.
TE
Leonard Pope - 6
Scrub - 10
Brad Cottam (IR)
I still like Brad Cottam, but he didn't do me a damn bit of good on IR this year. I hope Scrub can run block.
-------------------------------------------------
T
Branden Albert - 15/15
Ryan O'Callaghan - 1/1
Brian Waters - 16/16
G
Ryan Lilja - 15/15
Jon Asamoah - 1/15
Kraig Urbik (Bills) - 2/2
C
Rudy Niswanger - 0/6
Matt Tennant (Saints) - 0/10
My offensive line was in tough shape this season. I had to use Brian Waters at Tackle for the whole campaign. He played 15 games at RT and one over at LT when Albert was dinged up.
I had to press rookies Asamoah and Tennant into service earlier than I'd have liked. I have hope that the two of them and Kraig Urbik will develop into a solid interior line in future years.
-------------------------------------------------
K
Ryan Succop - 16
P
Dustin Colquitt - 16
-------------------------------------------------
FS
Kendrick Lewis - 10/10
Jarrad Page (Patriots) - 1/6
SS
Eric Berry - 16/16
CB
Brandon Flowers - 15/15
Brandon Carr - 16/16
Alterraun Verner (Titans) - 12/1
My secondary is the strength of my team. Verner as nickleback is a luxury compared to my lack of depth everywhere else. I even had thoughts of trying Brandon Carr at FS while Kendrick Lewis was out.
-------------------------------------------------
OLB
Tamba Hali - 16/16
Mike Vrabel - 16/16
Andy Studebaker
ILB
Derrick Johnson - 16/16
Sean Lee (Cowboys) - 0/14
Corey Mays - 0/2
Demorrio Williams
Lee showed signs of being a pretty decent player this year. Whether he and Johnson are the final answer at ILB for us is an open question. I'll need a replacement for Vrabel this offseason one way or another.
-------------------------------------------------
DE
Glenn Dorsey - 16/16
Tyson Jackson - 3/3
Shaun Smith - 10/13
Wallace Gilberry
DT
Ron Edwards - 15/16
Tank Tyler (Panthers)
Anthony Toribio
Tank Tyler was a big disappointment, but this group of linemen did better than I originally expected.
