I'm on my soapbox to advocate for a few extra roster spots for NFL teams.
In my opinion, NFL teams are getting more specialized, and the expansion of the practice squad only does half a job at ameliorating the situation.
Quarterback position needs 3 players at a minimum, with a PS spot for a 4th. QB's are getting dinged up big time. WR sets of 4-wide are not uncommon, so 7 WR's isn't a whole lot. If you have a RB, his backup, a 3rd Down Back, and FB and his backup, that's 5.
Here's my old 53 Man Roster (Submitted by Astrobot 5/16/05) ramped up to 58
QB Losman (Holcomb, Matthews, Woodbury) – Thompson gone
HB McGahee (Shaud Williams, RaShard Lee, Lionel Gates) –
FB Shelton, Burns
WR Moulds, Evans, Parrish (Aiken, FastFreddie Smith, Wilson, Haddad ) -- No Reed
TE Campbell (Euhus, Everett) -- Plus a knee surgeon yet to be named
OT Williams, Gandy (Peters, McFarland)
OG Villarial, Anderson (Tucker, Geisinger)
OC Teague (Preston)
DT Adams, Edwards (Tim Anderson, LaWaylon Brown)
DE Schobel, Kelsay ( Denney, Ritzmann, Gause )
OLB Spikes, Posey (Stamer, Haggan) – Haggan much improved
MLB Fletcher (Crowell, Ezekiel)
SS Milloy ( Wire )
FS Vincent (Baker, Leonhard)
CB Clements, McGee ( Thomas, King )
K Lindell
P Moorman
LS Dorenbos
Practice Squad (8 people):

FB Goldsberry or June Cut
CB Fontenot

K Steve Baker or June Cut
LB Hunter -- The next Stamer / Haggan ST guy with Leonhard
