What about Courtney Taylor?

It looks like Courtney Taylor is going to play on Saturday, and that changes my perspective quite a bit. Taylor was the only receiver I ever saw as having a real chance to push the team to keep 6 receivers. If he can play in two preseason games, then he might be able to challenge for a roster spot even after missing all that time with injury.

If he doesn't play on Saturday, then he only has a couple of days of practice next week and the Raiders game to show his stuff. I stand by my previous statement that he looked as good as Ben Obomanu before he suffered that knee injury. If Taylor does end up winning a roster spot, then at whose expense does it come?

Do we believe Mike Holmgren when says he envisions keeping only six linebackers? If that is truly the case, then he must be envisioning keeping an "extra" guy at another position, and the most likely candidate appears to be Courtney Taylor as the sixth wide receiver.

However, it doesn't seem like getting rid of one of the linebackers makes sense to open up that spot. The more logical choice would be to go with only 5 DTs. I would like to see Courtney Taylor make the team, but I just don't see where that spot comes from. It seems like it would be from either Craig Terrill or Will Herring, and I don't find that too appealing.

Maybe the Seahawks end up doing something abnormal, like only going with 2 QBs or 2 TEs. Or they get rid of Floyd Womack, but keep Pat Ross and Jonathan Alston on the practice squad to make up for it. As bad as it sounds, an injury could also open up a roster spot.
