Without overwhelming the Rookies to much ala JJAW last year, I think they will be cross training all the WR's to be interchangeable. This way when they break the huddle DB's/DC's wont know who's playing the X, Y Z positions. Now whether they can learn it unlike JJ in this limited Covid Offseason of reps ,remains to be seen.

That's definitely the goal. At least for Reagor it is. He started off at Z learning from Jackson, but said he started learning X too.

Jeezla Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 1 Alshon 2 D Jax 3 Reagor 4 JJ 5 Ward 6 Quez 7 Hightower Should all make the roster. It'll be interesting to see what we do with Alshon when he's cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to put any of the young guys on IR unless we absolutely have to. They can't practice if they are on IR. It would be a waste for their development.

I know they changed the PS rules (not sure if that's an option or not) but the minute AJ is a healthy go, someone is leaving the active roster IMO.

I know they changed the PS rules (not sure if that's an option or not) but the minute AJ is a healthy go, someone is leaving the active roster IMO. I mean probably, but technically we could. We would have to go a bit lighter at a couple spots. Having Brooks on IR and Jeffery on PUP to start should help, but usually teams only keep 5 or 6 WRs, so yeah its highly unlikely we keep 7 all season. I wish we didn't have to keep 3 QBs and I don't think we will next season. I don't really like Sudfeld, but he knows the offense. I know they probably will keep a 3rd TE or extra player at some position I could care less about. If Watkins or Hightower get IR'd it won't be the worst thing in the world, but I would rather they be able to take full advantage of learning from Avant, Moorhead and DeSean cause he likely won't be here next year unless he wants to come back for pretty cheap.

Nabbs4u Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) ^^ I agree, I just dont see where the extra player is getting cut? We have to carry 3 QB regardless because of Covid. Most teams will, or will at least have 1 on the PS. We dont have that luxury. OL? Doubtful DL? Doubtful LB? We suck but possible with our Safeties playing a lot in the box. CB? Doubtful, yes light years improved but only keeping 4, 5? No. TE? Might honestly be the only position group we could go with 2, with the understanding 1 is on the PS? With the change in philosophy more towards Speed, we don't really need 3. The 3rd gets no reps unless an injury occurs. However like QB, you are playing Russian Roulette if a TE or 2 gets Covid. RB? Maybe we carry 3? 1 on the PS? I'm going to assuming Hightower is IR eventually, leaving Watkins as the more versatile of the 2 on the active roster. .

We signed Noah Nogiai to a big signing bonus as a UDFA. There is also Alex Ellis. Either could be put on our PS. Warren or Killins at RB could be put on the PS. My guess would be Watkins gets IR'd. Hightower is a bit more polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt he’s 250 lbs now. He always seemed a little skinny to me. He’s prb at 235-240 now with putting that weight on. So now maybe instead of getting his head buried into the ground by Clowney he can stiff arm him. Just hope it doesn’t mess with his quickness in the pocket. Nah. He's AT LEAST 240 rn. He weighed in at 237 lbs coming out of NDSU and he looks significantly bigger and muscle weighs more than fat. Whether he's at 240 or 250 right now... some of that weight is coming off training camp and as the season progresses (if it does). I just hope he did leg day lol.

Jeezla Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) We should only carry 4 LB's. The 2 rookies, Gerry and Edwards. Stash Dante Olson on the PS. Use K'von as a nickle LB/3rd S hybrid. Edited August 16, 2020 by Jeezla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use K'von as a nickle LB/3rd S hybrid. 5* Gerry, Edwards, Riley, Taylor, and Bradley Think Riley ends up being our 3rd LB when we do use one and we could use the depth. Don't think Taylor or Bradley are ready, but I expect them to make an impact on special teams. Also, Will Parks probably has the edge on Wallace if we are going for a LB/S hybrid, but wouldn't shock me if Wallace overtook him eitherl.
