Texans 53-man roster, take 1

Here's my 53-man roster as training camp gets underway. I'll include my last 4 in, last 4 out as well.

5 WR JOHNSON, WALTER, JONES, ANDERSON, DICKERSON
4 TE DANIELS, DREESEN, CASEY, GRAHAM
8 OL BROWN, BRISIEL, MYERS, CALDWELL, WINSTON, BUTLER, STUDDARD, SMITH
4 RB FOSTER, SLATON, TATE, HENRY
1 FB LEACH
2 QB SCHAUB, ORLOVSKY

3 SP BROWN, TURK, HOLLIDAY

9 DL SMITH, OKOYE, CODY, WILLIAMS, BARWIN, BULMAN, MITCHELL, ROBINSON, OKAM
7 LB CUSHING*, DILES, RYANS, CLARK, ADIBI, BENTLEY, SHARPTON
6 DB JACKSON, QUIN, REEVES, MCCAIN, MOLDEN, MCMANIS
4 S POLLARD, WILSON, BARBER, NOLAN

LAST FOUR IN - HOLLIDAY, HENRY, MCMANIS, NOLAN
LAST FOUR OUT- ANDRE DAVIS, CHRIS WHITE, TIM JAMISON, MALCOLM SHEPPARD
*-Cushing suspended for the 1st 4 games & will not count towards the final 53 until week 5, so the Texans will carry an additional player.

I might be wrong on Andre Davis getting cut, b/c he is definitely better than Dickerson. My thought is merely that Dickerson has a bright future and they know he would not clear waivers. If injuries hit the position, a guy like Glenn Martinez should still be available after the Texans release him as well.

I'm not sure that Okam & Robinson are both gonna make it, likely at the expense of Sheppard, Jamison and Jesse Nading - but I'll go with that for the time being.

I'm also taking two big leaps. One is that the team will carry Holliday, knowing that he cannot play wide receiver and two that they will rely on Dreessen and/or Casey to be the long snapper. That is a big concern considering they both might have heavier workloads on offense, pending Daniels recovery from knee surgery.

I'll do this again after the preseason game vs. Dallas which comes right before the first official cut date of rosters set at 75 on August 31.
