Practice Squad Updates

[conner01]

So most of the guys we wanted back, were getting!!

Today was a good day

Usually happens that way

 

[NEODOG]

Im surprised they keep showers and let a guy like Ivie who they drafted go.

must be a reason, something they do in preparing for games each week.

I love the Gators.... Ivie got manhandled quite far too often...... Love the kid, just not a player needed here

 

[Bluefin]

Actually im suprised we didnt bring back joseph jones

Same here.

Also thought drafted rookies Joey Ivie or Jordan Carrell would get the nod before Richard Ash.

 

[The Fonz]

Oh god no...this kid basically cost Kellen his job because he couldn't catch a damn football. You got one job...

Kellen Moore will be back as a coach mark it.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Showers still cashing Cowboys Checks. How is that possible.

 

[Echo9]

Plays the only positron of depth on the defense.

Positron of Depth! Sounds like a cool nerd-core rock band.

 

[Screw The Hall]

Pretty decent group there. I like how they went long at OL here to make themselves feel better about not going with 9 on the 53. No QB makes me feel Moore is indeed coming back (no shocker).

A couple surprises for me though.

• I would have gone with Ivie instead of Ash. I think the experiment with him has about run it's course.
• I liked Burbank better than Edwards
• I wouldn't have taken 2 WR since they took 6 on the 53. I would have left B.Brown off.
• The only shocker for me is that they didn't go with any LBs. I like Jones a lot and Gilchrist to a lesser extent. Weird move to go 2 WR and no LB here IMO.

 

[Kaiser]

He's eligible.

The Practice Squad rules are getting tweaked every year. Jameil Showers has never been on the 53 and should be PS eligible for 3 seasons, if memory serves.

I thought the limit was two seasons on the PS, I posted before that he wasn't eligible but I'm glad I'm wrong.

 

[Cowboys22]

He caught the well thrown ones perfectly fine. Moore's noodle arm and extremely poor play cost him his job.

They change those rules all the time man, it's hard to keep up.

A few guys like Lenoir were mild surprises but Ash is the only guy that really surprised me. We don't have a LB there but Nzeocha should be on the PS in 24 hours.

Overall there are some good developmental prospects, this year Andy Jones was a guy I thought would push for a roster spot but on this years group I think Brian Brown, Jarwin, Skipper, Lewis Neal and Marquez White are all guys that will push for a roster spot next year.

Those guys and all the compensation picks we have are the reasons I really don't care about trading conditional picks for guys right now.

 

[zack]

No real suprises here. I am glad White is back though

Glad Theaker made the practice squad. Great to see a guy make it from the same place you played college ball!

 

[Iron_Man]

Kellen Moore will be back as a coach mark it.

the key word is coach

 

[Teague31]

Skipper is a waste of space. A taller David Arkin

 

[Iron_Man]

Where did Lenny Jones end up? i thought he would be a potential ps candidate.

I think you are right, but I wish they'd dump the Nzeocha experiment. The man has talent but he is always hurt, hasn't really shown any production to speak of, and the topper for me is that he is 27. That is getting pretty long in the tooth to base a player's future entirely on potential.I would have much preferred Jones as a LB prospect.

I thought they would only keep 2 OL prospects but I'm happy to see I'm wrong here. I was a guy that was wringing my hands about not keeping 9 OL on the 53 with all of our injury issues over there. But this was a smarter solution than what I would have come up with. Go long on the practice squad and just elevate them if anything goes wrong. Good job here even if I don't completely agree on who the 3 OL should have been.

I'm very happy that we were able to keep White and Neal. I agree that both should have a really good chance for roster spots next year. I think, it could take another year next season on the Practice squad for Jarwin but I like the kid nonetheless. Lenoir is McClay's pet cat and that's good enough for me especially since he has shown marked improvement since the start of camp.

 

[Teague31]

Didn't even try to put Ivie on the PS. Another swing and miss from guru rod

It's possible he decided to go to another practice squad. Maybe in Florida?
