Hitman21ST Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Completely agree on Gomes but Thompson to me is a ??? Hall, Wilson, Barnes, Westbrook, Thompson (with Buchanon out for the first few weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_1972 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I don't expect Paul to last very long on the PS. How did he look tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindx Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Here's my projected PS PS Offense (6): Hurt, Oldenburg, Royster, Robinson, Paul, 1 QB (to run scout team) -- Clemens and Gutierrez don't fit and we cut Chapell so.... we need to find one to run the scouts. PS Defense (4) = Neild, White, Shannon, Thompson I think Thompson makes the 53 at this point as depth to Barnes and Westbrook while Buchanon is suspended. Thompson will go down to PS after Buchanon gets off suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 How did he look tonight? Thompson looked good at times, definite potential there, but does Buchannon while suspended take a roster spot or is he like in a reserve/suspended position that doesn't count to the 53? (Secondly what about the PUP list if moore or horton go there?) I really didn't want Nield to be on the PS I think he's going to be a gamer, but with Bowen, Cofield, and others stepping up on the line, looks likely.

authentic Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 How did he look tonight? Didn't do alot. I think he had maybe 1 or 2 catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, they do count against the 80.My Practice Squad Worthington Nield Shannon/Russell(can't decide) White Hurt Cook Paul Royster I think White, Paul and Royster are the most likely to be signed by other teams, and I'm sure the coaches have been eyeing a few players from other squads.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 In the midst of a re-build, looking at a down season were realistically not many expect much of anything (those getting carried away with exhibition games aside), and one which results matter little in the reality of the bigger picture; I'd have all 5 rooks in your OP on the 53 man to see if they can be a part of the core group going forward. But that's me. I sadly agree that all 5 are probables for the PS. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jivelikenice Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thompson looked very solid for a 7th rd pick. I don't know who outplayed him for the 5th corner position and frankly was on par with Westbrook who is going to be our 4. He's a question mark, but what rookie isn't? I think people on this board love the idea of building through the draft but are scared to put an unknown quantity on the field... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeckBone Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Is Worthington PS eligible? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_team "National Football LeagueEach NFL team may keep up to eight members on its "practice squad" in addition to the 53-member main roster. They consist mostly of rookies who were cut in training camps and borderline NFL-caliber players. Both rookies and young veterans are eligible for the practice squad. However, a player cannot participate on the practice squad for more than three seasons, or if he has accrued a year of NFL experience (six or more games on a club's 53-man active roster or official Injured Reserve list.) If the player was on the active list for fewer than 9 games during their "only Accrued Season(s)", he maintains his eligibility for the practice squad.[1] Practice squad players practice alongside regular roster players during the week, but they are not allowed to play in actual games. They can be paid considerably less than active squad players: The minimum salary from 2008 to 2010 is $5,200 per week (2008-2010)[1] for 17 weeks, or $88,400 per season, in comparison to the NFL minimum rookie salary of $285,000. Some practice squad players are paid considerably more, however. In 2006, the New England Patriots paid third-year player Billy Yates the full $425,000 he would have earned on the active roster.[2] Players can be promoted to the active roster of their current team or to that of any other team. They have free agent status and can sign with any team they wish without compensation to the original team, if they are released from the practice squad. Additionally, the NFL has a program through which foreign players may be assigned to teams' practice squads, called the International Practice Squad Program" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivelikenice Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thompson can't play in a regular season game and then go down to PS in the middle of season. No need to worry about what to do w/ Thompson after wk 4. Injuries will happen and the back of the rsoter will stay fluid. If they like him they can figure out a way to keep him.

Destructis Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Three that I think will get picked up by other teams if they are cut are Royster, Paul and Neild. Maybe White also. For the first time in years, I feel like we are cutting guys with talent that I would like to see stay around. I give credit to ShanAllen for that.

Skins21! Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I don't think Paul, Shannon or Royster would clear waivers. ---------- Post added September-2nd-2011 at 11:54 AM ---------- Thompson would have to be cut, clear waivers and the resigned to the practice squad.

Kurd Cudins Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thompson can't play in a regular season game and then go down to PS in the middle of season.If he's active for less than 6 games(the wiki link above says 9, but I really think it's 6) and clears waivers he's still eligible for the PS.
