midniterc Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 This is my first post here. This looks like a good thread to start on... My practice squad: 1) Keith Eloi - I read the note about Shelton saying he was on the PS. I'm not so sure he was just being hopeful. Not sure if he was actually told by the team that he has made the squad. That being said, I think Eloi had more opportunities in preseason, so I think he makes it. Regardless, they almost always keep a WR on the PS. 2) Eddie Williams - I think he is a lock simply because if Sellers gets hurt, they have nobody at FB. Being the only backup is job security. 3) Darrel Young - He received a lot of praise from Fletcher and was pretty outstanding on Special Teams. 4) Chase Daniel - He has already announced that he will be on the practice squad. I think a #3 QB is better on the PS than the 53 man roster. 5) Anthony Alridge - Being that they already have four on the roster, a RB on the PS might be more than they need. But you can't argue about his upside. If somebody gets hurt, Alridge would be a great player to bring up. 6) Antonio Dixon - He put forth pretty good effort. But the real reason he makes the PS is because the team must feel a little nervouse about both Haynesworth and Griffin being so injury prone. I think that fear may have saved Montgomery's job, but they still need to have a backup there. 7) Lendy Holmes - He stood out on Special Teams and the team usually likes to keep a secondary player on the PS. Doug Dutch could also be a possibility, but I think since they already have six CBs on the active roster, Dutch would be one too many. 8) Cody Glenn - I list Glenn because he was a draft pick. But this could easily go to Rob Jackson, who regressed from last year but was still a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerpSkin Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 What about Rob Jackson? I'm not sure about the rules, but can he be placed on the practice squad being only in his second year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I feel bad for guys like Chase who have to keep their heads up and go to the practice squad. I guess being on the practice squad of an NFL team is still way better than playing in the UFL or CFL. Hopefully he will get a chance someday. It's still better than 90% of jobs out there if you think about it. Oh man this doesnt sound good at all. I like Eloi and I still hope it works out. He could further apply pressure to Devin to get himeslf together.I think the Devin Thomas experince may be coming to a close soon in Ashburn. Eloi would compliment Malcolm and Marko. I think I've heard Eloi's name twice, and he wasn't doing much either time. Don't know how he'd replace Devin Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I think I've heard Eloi's name twice, and he wasn't doing much either time. Don't know how he'd replace Devin Thomas. Eloi made a few nice catches and has the ability to jump up for the ball. All he has to do is focus and apply himself. Devin has done nothing that he can't be repalced? He was looking good training camp and all but once pre season came he wasn't doing squat. I am a DT fan, but he needs to get it together and do what's asked of him or he won't have to worry about running the wrong route here in Washington.

Birdlives Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I find it hard to believe they'd keep 6 CB's on the roster and then add another to the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'm not convinced Alridge is eligible... he's not getting any mention from the insider types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I agree with some of you guys, I thought Eloi showed more than Shelton, but I guess the team thought otherwise. It would not make sense to carry two WR's on the PC. I didn't think Dutch showed enough to make the PC and would like to see Alridge take that spot. I guess the praise from the players about Young didn't amount to much. I don't remember him doing much on the field. The other picks make sense.

More Complete Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Odd that Alridge is not on that list. Very. Also there is not one offensive lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlives Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Very. Also there is not one offensive lineman. Not as such. There are already 10 on the active roster. Why keep an 11th? Still think it's weirder that they would keep 6 corners and then a 7th on the practice team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why keep an 11th?Still think it's weirder that they would keep 6 corners and then a 7th on the practice team. Yeah, I think there is something unusual going on there. I think Westbrook was kept because of Rogers' injury and also because Westbrook is no longer eligible for the practice squad. I am thinking that very soon, Rogers will be over that calf injury that has the staff concerned. I think that after Rogers is 100%, they'll simply let Westbrook go. Then they will still have Dutch on the PS and five CBs on the roster. Who will take Westbrook's place? Who knows? Another injury might determine that.

One thing is for sure, this isn't over. There will be more changes of the roster to come. It wouldn't surprise me if more changes were made to OL.
