Ideally I'd be happy to have CAP active.

Question is whom do you DEACTIVATE, especially if all our players, including Marlowe, are healthy?

It is really tough to have to sit 7 healthy players when you know that several of them could really contribute.

Inactives last week were:

We played last week with only 3 safeties.  Not ideal.  Delaire stank up the joint, would like to see if Edwards can play... 

It's a good problem to have just about everyone on the team fully healthy, but at a time like this, the 46 player active limit really sucks.

I'm sure Edwards will have his shot, once he's more up to speed with the defense.  He hasn't ever really played much though...

Player limit sucks, but it's there for a pretty good reason.  Coaches just have to make the best decisions they can.

Pardon my ignorance becuase I've never thought about it before, but what exactly is that good reason. Off the top of my head I can't thing of any good reason to carry 53 guys but not be able to utilize a set number of them every week. What's the point?

Good explanation here:  http://www.panthers.com/news/ask-bryan/article-2/Ask-Bryan-Picking-the-inactives/04093768-aac5-46ea-bfeb-34db24e3f153

So why are teams allowed to have just 46 of their 53 players active for games? In short, it's a move aimed at maintaining competitive balance. Both teams were pretty healthy for the season opener, but as the attrition natural to the game of football takes full effect, just about every team will have players too injured to play in a given week but not so injured that they should be put on injured reserve.

So, let's say one team has six injured players, while their opponent has just one. With the inactives system, both teams would have 46 healthy players in action, as opposed to one team having five more healthy players than the opposition. That type of discrepancy could make a significant difference in the game's outcome, and that's what the league wants to avoid.

BBR speculates T. Williams or Cash goes inactive, but for Marlowe, not CAP. Add him and it may be Williams AND Cash.

Hopefully he's picked up more after having a long week. If so, I wouldn't mind him taking DeLaire's spot. He couldn't be much worse. 

As to the post's topic , I would love to see CAP get a shot. Make them load the box like they did on the Rams and leave our big WR's out there 1 on 1, or double our receivers and we can run it down their throats. Inactivate T. Williams, Simonson, or Cash if need be.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
