POSSIBLE PS additions

[MHS831]

Obada fans need to stop celebrating the roster spot--there will be a S, T,  and possibly at QB (guessing) added---the PS has a rent-free room for Obada only if they choose to move a DE (we have 6 right now).  If we add 2 players to the roster, Obada may not stick.

From our roster, the following stand out (THESE ARE SPECULATIVE):

RB Reggie Bonnafon  (looked good catching and running the ball Thur--good backup for CMC?)

DE Daeshon Hall   (if he is not picked up by another team---I think a 3-4 team could take him)

QB Kyle Allen   (radical idea, but we are carrying 2 QBs--we need a young guy on the PS)

TE Jason Vander Laan

G Taylor Hearn  

C Kyle Friend  (Friend is strong and was pretty good in the run game--not sure if he can play anything except C)

CB Cole Luke  (They almost have to have a CB on the PS roster as it stands now)

WR Austin Duke

DT:  Player from another team's cuts

OT: Player from another team's cuts

He's a lock for PS if no one else snags him

[TheSpecialJuan]

We never add players from other teams to our inicial practice squad list.

Allen over Gilbert?

I wonder if him making the initial 53 has any effect on his international designation.  Does it take away our ability to use an 11th PS spot on him if we release him after the cut deadline?  Hopefully, he'll stick so it won't be an issue.  But it would suck to keep him, then have to bump another guy in order to get him back on the PS.

[Mr. Scot]

I still think the most likely guy to get bumped if we have to add anybody is Andre Smith.

[RoaringRiot]

Get my boy Rasheed Bailey on there

[ecu88]

Obada is not getting bumped imo. Andre Smith would be the most likely. After Williams and Seymour come back from IR, depending Obada or even Cox Jr maybe indicate which might stay. Do not forget Jacobs or Norris! LB position is just as loaded as any. There are many variables. Obada might, might not get cut but to single him out due to fans pulling for him might reflect a halo effect in desicion making. 

Jacobs vs Norris is one battle of special teamers.

Smith vs Carter Jr would be another battle.

Cox Jr vs Obada will be another to keep an eye on of course.

 

Until IR temps come back those are battles during the first 8 weeks or however long till IR temps are eligible to come back and play again.

Cole Luke over Doss?  Don't be silly!

I believe keeping him on the 53 has nullified that international exemption. And honestly I don't think the team would be making SUCH a big deal if his making the roster only to demote him immediately.

So, we'll have only 10 PS guys.

Here's my guess

QB: Gilbert if eligible / unclaimed. Allen if Gilbert not available

RB: Bonnafon

TE: Baylis or Vander Laan (depends on Vander Laan's health)

WR: Frazier if available

OL Clausell + ??  Two guys for sure, but not sure who gets #2.  Bisnowaty? Eaton? Johnson?

DE Hall if available

DT Norton

DB: Doss, D Cox

• Two reasons--Allen is younger and (arguably) has more upside (even though I do not think he will ever succeed with that The Golden Calf of Bristol throwing hitch) and I was not sure if Gilbert had any PS eligibility left.

Obada represents a lot of things bigger than football--he has to be an inspiration to teammates and will be a fan favorite.  I tend to agree with you--my speculation about him was based on the PS international player spot, nothing more.

I was actually happy FOR YOU when he made the team--my first thought.

Dezmen Southward out here for practice. He was cut yesterday. So either a practice squad move or otherwise.
