Many saying Marcell should be cut -- I have to disagree. He creates turnovers, and if I'm not mistaken -- per AB -- his contract helps make him a lock as well. I think he's played much better than people give him credit for this pre-season.
Harris has been everywhere as a LB...missed a tackle in the open field but he's shown excellent reading ability and gets to plays before they can get started. He's a lock at SAM.
As to Mitchell > Gallman, the only benefit to this is with Mitchell, we have long term control. But you saw last night why having a veteran in that room is so important. Mitchell missed key pass protection assignments AND didn't know all the plays and even completely missed a mesh point handoff assignment...a play dialed up for him. These two areas Gallman excels in and is proven at the NFL level. I'd keep him and move Mitchell to the PS. We find players like him every year.
