David Greene will finally get a chance for some extended playing time. He needs to play decently well to keep his roster spot, but he doesn't have to do anything special. If he plays at all like he did against Dallas, then he will be fine. WR Maurice Mann and DE/DT Chris Cooper seem to have done enough to earn roster spots. It would be nice to see Cooper get some work at DE (he has been playing DT almost exclusively). Cooper and Mann might need a decent showing to make sure they keep their spots. If WR Ben Obomanu is still returning kicks, then he should be considered in the mix, if he isn't then he is probably headed to the practice squad.
The loss of Mike Green and the release of Shaunard Harts probably means that CB Jimmy Williams and S Oliver Celestin will make the team. The Seahawks could look to replace one of them if a decent veteran from another team gets cut. If Jimmy Williams is returning punts, it means WR Peter Warrick is in danger of getting cut, but Warrick should be fine. A lot has been made of his dropped pass, especially his apparently indifferent demeanor following a drop against the Chargers. If it comes down to giving Jimmy Williams or Peter Warrick a roster spot, then Williams' two fumbles against the Redskins in the playoffs last year should be given more attention than the reaction to a dropped passes in a preseason game.
On the surface, the injuries to the tight ends could cause the team to keep four tight ends going into the season. That would not be good for a fringe player like David Kirtman. However, the loss of the tight ends and Kirtman's receiving ability might combine to make him valuable enough to keep around, especially considering the need for another fullback if this turns out to be Mack Strong's final season.
