    I remember The Days of Herm when Ty Law was one of our sleepers, and the team wouldn't let Justin Miller sit next to him in meetings because they were worried that he might also become a sleeper?

    <sigh>

    Got to see that i really wanted Alvin Banks to make the team but with Ware getting most of the looks im not sure Banks will get a place on the roster.

    I agree with everyone who has said Ware and Ventrone. Ventrone=Villanova boy, so I'm hoping he makes it for the same reasons you all want Manny Collins to make it.

    Hahahahahaaa..... I'm not sure that's the kind of "sleeper" he was referring to, Jack! (LOL).

    Come to think of it though, who could blame Law for taking a nap during one of Herm's sermons?

    If Mike Westhoff has any pull on the final roster Ventrone is lock.

    players who will make the team:
    QB: Pennington, Clemens
    HB: Jones, Leon, Ware
    FB: Barnes
    WR: Coles, Cotchery, J-Mac, Brad Smith, Stuckey
    TE: Baker, Ryan, Dearth
    OL: Brick, Mangold, Moore, Clement, Bender, Wade Smith
    20 players

    Defense
    DL- Robertson, Ellis, Coleman
    LB- Thomas, Vilma, Barton, Hobson, Harris, Bowens,
    DB- Revis, Dyson, Miller, Rhodes, E. Smith, E. Coleman

    15 players

    Graham, Nugent

    37 players

    So that leaves plenty of spots that are still open. I have no idea what defensive line players will make the team after the three 3 starters. Pouha hopefully but he has no track record. Probably a third qb makes the team. The secondary has a few spots up for grabs.

    I'm sure people might disagree with me but I feel those are the players who will make the team. I'm sure guys like Wallace Wright, Pouha, Chatham, Poteat, Rashad Washington have a good chance to make the team.

    Personally, I do not think we have nearly enough nonsense threads. :drunk:

    A couple of sleepers to make this team:

    Ellis, Pouha, Robertson, Coleman, Brick, Clarke, Moore, Clement and Pennington, these guys are definitely "sleepers" and will make the team.

    In all seriousness

    Ventrone
    Posziak
    Ware
    Collins

    There really is not too many if you want to discount Stuckey and Bender. However, historically it has been difficult for later round picks to make it.

    Mmm, 'sayeth'. That's the second time in as many days I've seen you use it. Yep, I like it.

    I wonder if it's how the whole NY habit of "I says" got started. "My car wouldn't start, so I says..." "Got laid off, so I says, what's that about. So he says get lost, so I says I'll push your face in." Romans and their descendants.

    I'm too sleepy to pick sleepers, but we should sticky this and see how wrong or how right we all were.

    thankyou , what I mean.
    By all accounts Revis is a natural at this position , so I may be wrong , but Mangini will have to give him the opportunity to make mistakes first. Will he do that so far down the line now?

    Benders progress reminds me of how Mangold and Brick slotted in.


    OMG! :)lol: ) NO!!!!!! Just think of the " I told you so's" :)

    Not a chance Tutt goes bye bye, Mangini loves his versatility....

    with that being said the sleepers to make the team are Vetrone, Haynes, Wright
