Here's some of the notables left off. I'd like to see the guys who are bolded make it to the practice squad but that might change with the play of some of the other younger guys in preseason, and you never know when a guy will be claimed off of waivers..

QB Brooks Bollinger, RB Albert Young, FB Naufahu Tahi, WR Darius Reynaud, WR Martin Nance, OT Drew Radovich, OG Mike Jones (IR), OG Dan Mozes, DE Jayme Mitchell (IR), DE Kenechi Udeze (IR), DT Letroy Guion, DT Kenderick Allen (IR), LB Heath Farwell (IR), LB J Leman, S Eric Frampton

Ideally I'd like to swap a WR and LB for a S and OL but it's a tough decision.

Thoughts? Feel free to comment/harass or copy/cut/paste mine if you'd like to create your own.

good call on booty over brooks
i'm a big fan of albert young (watched his career at Iowa) so i think he should make the practice squad as well

and i don't know on the WR's that race seems up in the air
