Chili Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) We still have two open 53 man roster spots and two open practice squad spots. It's been what? 3-4 weeks since we last filled them? I wonder what's taking so long? We've just put CB Nickerson on IR and Gut hasn't called up anybody to replace him. When Lazard was put on IR it took him a while to make his moves but eventually he called up Shepherd and finally this week with EQ. Kirkey the same, he was put on IR but didn't anything to replace him until now with Burgess. I still wonder why we gave up on Curtis Bolton just when he was so close to returning after we persevered with him throughout his time on IR and PUP. Edit: I see Martin has finally been activated to the 53. That leaves one roster spot open. We now have 5 ILBS on the 53, that's way too many! something gotta give here. Maybe a trade involving Burks or Summers perhaps? Edit 2: Ben Braden signed onto our PS just 3 days ago and was immediately promoted to the active roster. Billy Winn has also been promoted. This now means all our 53 man roster spots have now been filled. Our new LB Burgess is on some inactive list for the time being and technically doesn't count towards our 53 roster limit. These roster moves leave us with 4 open practice squad spots. Our two game day PS promotion for this week is Black and Dexter Williams - the latter move clearly hints that Jones will not play this week.

The point was it annoys me when you get all these people saying trade for Player X he is easily worth a 6th round pick when the real cost of the trade is the cap hit. Any analysis of whether a trade is a good idea must cover the opportunity cost of the cap or its pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt an in depth analysis - rather, a listing of potential trades covering multiple teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Aaron Nagler - Oren Burks is a fine role player and great special teamer, but they are wasting reps with him rushing the passer. Get Tipa up and let him eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Matt Schneidman - Jaire Alexander’s stat line vs. Texans: Targets: 1 Passes defensed: 1 Catches allowed: 0 In the last five games, the 23-year-old has been targeted 17 times and allowed 10 catches for only 56 yards (5.6 YPC) and 31 yards after the catch (3.1 YAC/catch). PFF’s No. 1 CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Rob Demovsky - Aaron Rodgers has 17 touchdown passes, tied for his most through six games in a season. The other time was 2011 on his way to 45 touchdowns (in 15 games) and his first MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Might be a fair chance that Jones sits this week vs MIN so he is fully ready for the short week vs SF. If Jones plays, I could see a higher mix with Williams to keep Jones fresh for the SF game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Ben Fennell - I've been so impressed with former TCUFootball & Packers 7th round pick Vernon Scott - playing lots of sub linebacker roles for Pettine Played a season high 13 snaps on defense vs HST. Thought he looked good tackling in space & fitting the run....and a similar role he was comfortable playing at TCU - often down in the box... Safety with good size/strength.
