Will he make it to the PS though... plenty of teams with WR issues who could take a flyer on a young 4th rounder

Looking more into it. I think he would be exposed to waivers if he doesnt make the team.

Even if he did make it to the PS, he wouldnt really be protected.

Weird thing I dont understand -- you read articles saying teams can protect up to 4 players on PS per week. But those players are protected starting Tuesday so they are exposed from end of that weeks game to Tuesday .. so they arent really protected.

------------

theres just no room on the WR depth chart

Terry
Samuel
Brown
Humphries
^^ these guys are locks

Then we have Cam Sims, AGG, Harmon, Dax Milne (7R), Carter, Wright and Steve Sims.

Are we going to carry 6? Can we protect AGG/Harmon?

this guy Carter was brought in to be our return guy I believe.

Crowded ass room with back end roster talent.

[quote=SunnySide;1286654]The NFL will carry over a series of 2020 roster rules designed to maintain adequate numbers if players are sidelined by positive COVID-19 tests.

The decision had been long anticipated but was confirmed during a media briefing Friday by Dawn Aponte, the NFL's chief football administrative officer.

The rules include:

Expansion of practice squads to 16 players, including up to six who have more than two accrued seasons.

The ability to protect up to four practice squad players per week from being signed by other teams.

Elevation of up to two practice squad players to the active roster, without removing any current players, before 4 p.m. ET the day before a game.

Elevation of an additional practice squad player within 90 minutes before kickoff in the event of a late COVID-19 positive test result.

Players placed on injured reserve can return after three weeks, rather than six as in normal seasons.

Removal of the limit for how many players can be activated from injured reserve.

good call on the PS, figured we could use a PS refresher .. nice that you can protect players now (now that we have a competitive deep roster)[/quote]

I like it. With the large amount of injuries in the NFL might make sense to keep this but at scaled down numbers after Covid. After Covid....not sure when that will be.

A couple names I didn't expect to see on this list, and one I surely did.

3 players who’ve made biggest impressions at training camp so far:

Collins being awesome is…..awesome. As I see it, these days you can’t have too many good players on the backs end.

Definitely refreshing to read - I was one of a few who wanted us to move on this offseason and let Kam Curl start.

But if Collins can be an impact player there's no reason why we can't use both of them.

If he regains his former form while at NY, secondary could be awesome. Getting giddy thinking about our safeties with him, Curl, and Mccain if Collins balls out. Great read.

Have heard a lot about Deandre Carter. Starting to think our wrs will be significantly improved. Cannot wait to see the 1st preseason game to get a glimpse.

Hail WFT!

A back to very good to elite level Landon Collins sure would be a great news for us.
I'll have to see him excel in full speed full pad full contact football before I get excited though. One thing that disappointed me last year was his tackling.

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
 

I would hold your horses on Collins. This pre season talk is just that. It means nothing and we hear this positive talk about certain players every year. The guy can not run and has little quickness.

He also knows this new regime isn't screwing around and will cut him if it's best for the team. I agree he hasn't worked out so far. But he's still fairly young and can regain form. I will be cautiously optimistic with him.

If he can just be baked chicken instead of BBQ I'll take it. He isn't that old and was pretty damn good before. He should be able to be at least playable.

But I agree, my horses are in the barn on him until he is playing against other teams.

August right before pre season games is always the time when feel good puff stories come out.

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
 

The fact that Collins didn't start out on PUP is a good sign he's 100%.

I think if we accept Collins for who he is and what he brings - in box safety, on field coach for secondary - we wouldnt be so hard on him.

Hes clearly overpaid for his skill set as in box safeties are dime a dozen imo but hes one of the better ones. Seems like he brings a good vet approach to working out, putting in work, team seems to like him.

I MIGHT have to move on from my Lavar Arrington jersey but I do love telling fellow skins fans to suck my ball sack when they give me grief.

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
 

Logan Thomas is playing great according to some reports. He is growing into a good TE, he is definitely a great find by FO - many of us were worried about the TE position last year and some were upset about the fact that we didn't try harder to sign Hooper while FO was content with Thomas lol..

That "some" def included me. Especially when I saw what he signed for w the Browns. TE was such a black hole and I thought we were gifted in having 2-3 real good TEs avail in FA.

Real happy with Logan. Just a great nfl story. Shades of Quinton Dunbar story arc but without the mental softness.

Hoping this WR Humphries can rejuvenate his career in the slot for us, Deandre Carter is another journeyman storyline.

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
 

Good review about some of the position battles still going on: [url]https://www.hogshaven.com/2021/8/18/22630425/several-wft-position-battles-that-are-likely-to-play-out-over-the-next-few-weeks[/url]

Good thing we didn't chase Hooper very hard. 46-435-4 last year in Cleveland. Very meh production for the money he's getting.

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
 

Well S.Simms has been cut ..... looking better for Deandre Carter and AGG

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
 

Not surprised about Simms. He can't catch the ball and Ron and crew didn't bring him here.

Yup…I was dead wrong about Thomas. No way did I think going him over Hooper was a good decision.

I’m starting to see some momentum for Reyes to make the squad at 3rd TE which is surprising IMO, he must be putting it together fairly well.

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
 

[QUOTE=EdmundDorf;1288118]Well S.Simms has been cut ..... looking better for Deandre Carter and AGG[/QUOTE]Simms had a ton of chances. He wasn't one of the best 6 wr's. I would be surprised if AGG makes it, but he did have a few nice grabs, both 2 pointers were good plays by him, even though one didn't count.

I wouldn't trade McLaurin for both of them combined.

Of course he is on pace to become my favorite football player of all times, so I would have a hard time trading him for anything. But definitely not just for those 2.

John Toth released. No surprise. There's still three centers on the roster, with Ismael likely being released after the last preseason game.
