Lots of other version of this out there, but I figured I'd take my crack at it...

In tomorrow's game against the Vikings we'll be looking for the guys whose performance may decide whether they make the team or not.

Right now I'd say there are about 48 guys who are absolute locks to make the team (Romo Johnson Barber Jones Choice Anderson Witten Curtis Bennett Owens Crayton Hurd Austin Adams Kosier Gurode Davis Colombo McQuistan Free Procter Berger Canty Ratliff Spears Johnson Hatcher Bowen James Thomas Burnett Carpenter Ware Ellis Spencer Rogers Newman Henry Jones Jenkins Scandrick Hamlin Williams Watkins Brown McBriar Folk Ladouceur).

That leaves about 11 guys competing for the last 5 spots.

Here's the guys I think are on the bubble.

1. James Marten
   
2. Isaiah Stanback
   
3. Danny Amendola
   
4. Mike Jefferson
   
5. Todd Lowber
   
6. Rodney Hannah
   
7. Evan Oglesb y
   
8. Alan Ball
   
9. Erik Walden
   
10. Dowayne Davis
    
11. Richard Bartel

James Marten - with Kosier out I think they'll keep 10 o-linemen, but there's a very outside chance they'd only go with 9, and he would likely be the odd man out.

Isaiah Stanback - I just include him because if he ends up on IR it opens one spot. If he's not on IR then he's a lock for the 53.

Danny Amendola, Mike Jefferson, Todd Lowber - I think they probably keep 1 of these 3 (or 2 if Stanback is IR), and which may depend on tomorrow's game. I think Lowber is the long shot, but I wouldn't say he has no chance because while he's the most raw of the bunch, he is the best athlete and probably has the biggest upside, and perhaps his exposure on Hard Knocks will make it harder for him to clear waivers and make the PS, although I'd bet that's where they'd like to have him. It's also possible that they pick someone up off the waiver wire so these guys are also competing against all the other WRs out there, but at any rate, at least 1 and probably 2 of those last 5 spots are WRs.

Rodney Hannah - unlikely they keep 4 TEs, but when you think about it, they almost never run 4 WR sets, but we're concerned about who the #5 and #6 WRs are (once Austin come back), yet they really like to run 3-TE sets, and we don't seem too worried about a 4th TE if one of the TEs goes down. Hannah has made some good impressions in the preseason and has value on special teams, so I think it conceivable that he could make the team if they felt like he was the best player for the last spot. Most likely they just try to put him on the PS and then activate him if needed.

Evan Oglesby and Alan Ball - very likely Ogelsby makes it as the 6th CB, but I wouldn't say he 100% yet and Ball may still have an outside shot and needs a great performance tomorrow to beat out Ogelsby. But one of the last 5 spots will go to one of these 2 guys.

Erik Walden - likely to make it, especially with Spencer down for a game or more to open the season, and he's a draft pick even if a 6th rounder.

Dowayne Davis - The talk about him has mainly been special teams, but he hasn't really shown much in preseason I don't think. I'd say he's a long shot now given how tight it is at other positions.

Richard Bartel - with too many guys for too few spots, they could easily go with just 2 QBs like last year, but if they think enough of his potential they may not want to risk losing him to another team by trying to get him on the practice squad, especially after Matt Moore last year. His future probably depends on how he does tomorrow night when he'll have the chance to start and play the entire game.

So... in conclusion... I think it is almost certain that they keep 10 o-line, 6 CBs and 5 WRs, so as I see it that basically leaves the last WR, Walden, Hannah, Davis and Bartel competing for the last 2 roster spots.

With the injuries at WR, I think the 6th WR is very likely, leaving Bartel and Walden as the guys with probably the best shot at the final spot, and the best shot at being the first guy outside the bubble.
