Speculation on the Practice Squad

[Oviedo]

Only two guys who I am pretty certain they would like to get there are:

Jordan Zumwaldt
Wesley Johnson

Really can't figure out who else...thoughts?

[K Train]

Landry Jones
Waters
Blanchflower
Richardson
Howard Jones
Moye ( i think hes eligible)
Justin Brown (biggest disappointment of the preseason so far)

I think Brown will make the final 53. Every projection I have seen has him on it.

[K Train]

For a guy who was supposed to be fighting for the #2 spot, and at the very least the #3 spot he has a whopping 2 catches for 9 yards thorugh 2 preseaspn games despite playing a ton of snaps.

I hope he does make it, I was believing the hype, but hes a TC hero as of now

Looking like 5 or 6 rookies make the final 53 (Shazier, Tuitt, Archer, Bryant, McCullers and possibly Richardson). 22 total rookies listed on the roster as of today. Another 14 with 1 yr of experience. Tough to even make the PS.

I haven't heard anything about some of the O-linemen ( Emmanuel McCray - 6'5"/316 or Will Simmons - 6'5"/342 or Chris Elkins - 6'4"/300). Any of them worth trying to develop? Line seems thin after the starters.

I guess the question is... is the 2 for 9 Brown's fault or the fault of the guys taking the snaps while he's in the game? From what I've seen of Jones and Grad so far...it's a wonder any of them have a catch.

10 players

Just heard on ESPN that teams will have 10 practice squad players this season.

[Rara]

Most of them being some of those linebackers.

My guess on the 10: Branchflower, Zumwalt, Richardson, H.Jones, Moye, Justin Brown, Mauro, Nick Williams, Tauren Pool, Brendon Kay

[Iron City Inc.]

It's still early to go through everyone who has a shot at this but K Moore is PS eligible and he has impressed and with 5.5 wr's looking like a lock ahead of him he likely is headed there.

moye is not eligible IIRC

Yeah, Adam Schefter reported this surprising nugget all of a sudden. Creates 64 more jobs for potential NFL talent.

By the way, welcome Rich.

Why would we care?

Perhaps poor attempt at sarcasm, but Moye is not and never will be a quality NFL receiver. IMO not a guy worth taking a spot on PS. However, he seems to be the current "Issac Redman" in some fans' hearts.

[RuthlessBurgher]

They are also altering the practice squad eligibility requirements for these extra two spots, so that may be an opportunity for guys that we thought did not have any more P.S. eligibility left under the previous rules.
