Defense

DL (7): Zach Allen, Terrell McClain, Corey Peters, Rodney Gunter, Michael Dogbe, Miles Brown, Bruce Hector

LB (8): Chandler Jones, Terrell Suggs, Haason Reddick, Jordan Hicks, Brooks Reed, Joe Walker, Zeke Turner, Pete Robertson

CB (4): Tramaine Brock Sr., Chris Jones, Byron Murphy, Brandon Williams

S (5): Bubba Baker, Deionte Thompson, D.J. Swearinger, Josh Shaw, Jalen Thompson

The defense is a little tougher.  There are going to be some very tough calls.  Williams makes this projection as the fourth corner but is being kept for special teams purposes only.

The other question is do the Cardinals need a fifth safety?  Thompson is definitely a bubble call there.  At linebacker, that one should be set, however Reddick, like Williams, did not play on Saturday.

Special Teams

K: Zane Gonzalez

P: Andy Lee

LS: Aaron Brewer

Gonzalez easily kept his kicking job with the Cardinals.  There was concern after the red-White scrimmage three weeks ago.  However he has been fantastic in the preseason.  He nailed all three field goals on Saturday against the Vikings.

Lee will win the punting competition despite Ryan Winslow not looking bad at all.  Lee is going to get a lot of work in this season.
