With all the prediction threads that have been posting, I would like to propose taking a little different approach to it. Seems everyone has their opinion on what the 53 man roster could and should look like, but how about trying to project the 46 man "ACTIVE" roster that takes into account who the core special team guys will be.
I found a rather interesting article about "Roster construction" and they go so far as breaking it down to how most teams approach deciding on the 46 man game day roster. I realize it's from Bleacherreport, but this actually is one of their better pieces.
