This isn't the case like an OL/DL where you're looking for them to work on their technique or develop more strength. This is about getting the most amount of production while they're incredibly cheap. Carrying 4 RBs (not including Ervin) isn't a smart way to build a roster IMO. Aside from the fact that Dexter Williams was a draft pick last year, what exactly qualifies him as valuable? He was lost in preseason, and it's not like he played well during the regular season.

I'm not saying they should stash him just that the fact we have 3 RBs who are pretty much a lock for the team and Ervin doesn't mean that he is gone. If the coaching staff likes him then they can keep him. Most of the time the guys you stash never amount to much so you aren't missing anything. The best thing about RBs is that they are very cheap for their production on their rookie contract so you don't want to bring in a vet and a guy on his 3rd season with the team may well be better equipped to slot in next season than another rookie. Not saying for a second we should stash him but if he's come on a lot and if the coaching staff want him then there's room on the roster if they want him as their number 2 or number 3 RB next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 limited offseason, no OTA or minicamps and now zero preseason games. 2020 is a vet-show Little chance for udfa's and fringe players to make the team and no chance Love is QB2 in September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a scenario that Dexter shows out in camp and we trade JW for like a 6th or random 1 year gap player. Dexter is cheap and we control his rights longer.

Chili Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Due to Covid some rule changes have been implemented especially with the practice squad. The PS size is now 16 players. 4 of these players can be protected each week to prevent poaching. 2 of those players can be promoted to the 53 (to make 55) each week but I've also read that they cannot return back to the PS for 3 weeks. 4 players maximum with more than 2 years NFL experience - this means theoretically you can put Aaron Rodgers on the practice squad, of course he has to clear waivers first! Other than those the usual rules apply (as far as I can tell): Players with no more than two seasons of NFL active roster experience are eligible for the practice squad. A player must now have a minimum of six games on a practice squad in order for that season to count as one of the player's three permissible seasons of practice squad service. List of eligible practice squad players (Rookies in BOLD😞 Offence: Darrius Shepherd, Malik Taylor, Allen Lazard, Reggie Begelton, Travis Fulgham, Josiah Deguara, John Lovett, Jace Sternberger, Evan Baylis, Jon Ruynan, Cody Conway, Travis Bruffy, Elgton Jenkins, Jake Hanson, Simon Stepaniak, Yosh Nijman, Zack Johnson, John Leglue, Jordan Love, AJ Dillion, Dexter Williams, Patrick Taylor, Damarea Crockett. Defence:Will Sunderland, Kabion Ento, Ka'Dar Hollman, Stanford Samuels, Darnell Savage, Vernon Scott, Henry Black, Jonathan Garvin, Delontae Scott, Rashan Gary, Tipa Galeai, Randy Ramsey, Greg Roberts, Krys Barnes, Ty Summers, Kamal Martin, Curtis Bolton, Willington Previlon, Kingsley Keke. Potential candidates for 4 players with 2+ years designation (they have to get past waivers first so we will need to be realistic here): Tim Boyle, Malik Turner, Alex Light, Robert Tonyan, Josh Jackson, Dashaun Amos, Tim Williams, Oren Burks, Montravious Adams, Tyler Lancaster, Will Redmond.

craig Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 SEcondary is an interesting collection. We've only got 16. Last year, carried 11 plus 1 PS. I assume this year with the big 16-man practice squad, you'd carry two secondary guys. So if 13 out of 16 guys stay employed, plus probably one of 16 will be IR, that means there might be only two guys who are actually cut. Hollman, Jackson, and late 7th-round Scott are all drafted. Normally a 6th and 7th rounder and a Jackson who's shown so little thus far might be considered variably vulnerable, but all are probably pretty safe for PS, if not necessarily 53-man. 6 UDFA: 4 rookies, PS Ento, and CFL Amos. For those kinds of guys to come to camp, and figure probably only two or maybe three of them will get cut, that's a really inviting employment landscape for UDFAs and 7th/6th rounders. .

Chili Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Update to my final 53 as there were some new additions and also some players were covid'ed / cut before training camp even started! I'm also basing my 53 on the assumption these following guys remain unavailable: PUP: Bolton, Nijman NFI: Stepaniak, P'Taylor QB: Rodgers | Love [2]FB/HB: Deguara | Lovett [2]RB: A'Jones | AJ Dillion | J'Williams | Ervin [4]TE: Sternberger | Tonyan | Lewis [3]WR: Adams | Lazard | EQ | MVS | Kumerow | Fulgham [6]OL: Bakthari | Jenkins | Linsley | Turner | Wagner | Runyan | L'Taylor | Patrick | Light [9] DL: Clark | Lowry | Keke | Lancaster | Hester [5]OLB: Z'Smith | P'Smith | Gary | Ramsey | D'Scott [5]ILB: Kirksey | Martin | Summers | Galeai [4] CB: King | Alexander | Sullivan | Hollman | Jackson | Ento [6]SS: Amos | Greene [2]FS: Savage | V'Scott [2] ST: Crosby | JK Scott | Bradley [3] TOTAL: Offence [26] | Defence [24] | ST [3] = 53 Because of Covid causing shorter training camps and no preseason games as well as the week to week impact on coaching during the season I can see teams heavily relying on their experienced players to carry them through the season. For the younger players expectations will be minimal and I can imagine many teams not bothering to raid the waiver wire after final cuts and instead prefer just to bring their own guys back onto the PS because they're already familiar with the playbook rather than having to deal with the complication of bringing in someone new. PS: Boyle, D'Williams, Looney, Baylis, M'Turner, M'Taylor, Hanson, Conway, Samuels, Dequoy, Barnes, Garvin, T'Williams, Previlon, Adams, Burks. [16] You know what I'm not confident we will carry just 2 QB. I think in the event covid takes out one of our QBs we are left with just one. I think we are going to need at least 3 on the roster just to give us that extra added security. I even read that the Packers are even considering isolating the QBs away from each other! The more I think about it keeping 3 makes alot of sense, but who would I drop to make room for a 3rd QB? probably one of the linebackers perhaps.

Boyle is probably going to start the season as QB2, 3 QBs seems pretty much a certainty at this point - guessing you are in the minority in still having 2 in your projections. Not sure what I think about that or what Boyle is really going to achieve if he needs to play but suppose its a necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
