Underrated story of the day. J.J. Jansen pops up on injury report, possible loss of roster spot to someone if he can't go

We have an open roster spot right now. Amini to IR and Horton suspended while adding CJ, leaves a spot open still. Was thinking it was for a waivers claim for Coples if nobody else snagged him before us and that still may be the case but maybe they're leaving it open to see what JJ's deal is. Hope he can go.

Talk about a thankless job that is hard to master.  Losing our long snapper is a pretty big deal and replacing him with street talent makes me nervous.

Thankless?

It's like the best job in football, besides backup qb.

One of my favorite nfl stories ever

http://www.phillymag.com/birds247/2013/12/12/inside-voices-3/

The best magic trick Jon Dorenbos ever pulled off was the one that got him a full ride to UTEP, and ultimately, a job in the NFL.

Dorenbos had done some long-snapping in high school but very little as a freshman at Golden West Junior College, where he played linebacker. He wasn't drawing any interest from college teams, so he decided to get creative. He took tape of a more accomplished long-snapper, mixed it in with some of his own linebacker highlights (as well as highlights from another 'backer on the team) and sent it out to different teams, claiming it was all him. The film was so grainy, you couldn't tell the difference in jersey numbers -- or height, apparently.

"His name was Tim Thurman, he was a 6-6 longsnapper, so I took his film," said the 6-foot Dorenbos. "Put my linebacker stuff in there, then there was a guy by the name of Nick Heinle and I took some of his highlights -- he was a guy I rotated with -- and I made like an ultra highlight film and I sent it out. I told UTEP I was a really good long-snapper and at the time I don't think I was really good. Tim was way better. I hadn't done it in about a year-and-a-half. They needed a snapper, so I got a full ride being a long-snapper. Awesome."

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Nope Still missing it. Let's try this a different way... You have two quarterbacks from schools that ran the same kind of offense - maybe even two from the same school - on a given team (not necessarily the Panthers). One is designated the starter while the other is named the backup. Why?

      yeah, pretty sure boss.....when things match and fit in the NFL.....the results then show it.  and when they don't, well, the results show that as well.  Bryce doesn't fit.   *but I get why late season and wants to argue with everyone Mr. Scot has also turned into a please don't talk to me about stats guy as well.  Given, the stats that reflect offensive productivity work against all your present arguments.

      Yeeeah...stats and rankings have zero to do with a discussion of scheme and skill set match. Maybe look up definitions of style vs ability and see if that helps. At this point, you've basically had three different people explain to you where you're wrong, but rather than addressing any of those statements, you're just resorting to straight deflection.  You don't get it. Either that or you're acting like you don't get it so that you can avoid the discussion because it's not going well for you. (that wouldn't surprise me either) 😄 Sme result either way, I suppose.
