Glad Jansen is ready.

Is it possible Aiken is cut before the plane boards? That would be funny.

Sounds like maybe the signing took place last night before any news on Jansen came out.

We had 52 on the roster so he just takes the open spot and my assumption is that he travels to Dallas and will go if JJ wakes up on Thursday with headaches or anything like that. He'd then be cut for OL depth to replace Amini after the game.

I actually wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibility that both JJ and Aiken are active tomorrow just in case JJ takes a hit in the game.

Talk about a waste of an active spot.  I know it's a contingency in this scenario, but has to sting if a team feels the need to keep a second long snapper active on gameday.

Luke did practice as a backup long snapper in college...

It's not ideal, but I'm sure we would manage. We are down an active OL from last sunday so Aiken would just take that spot and probably Delaire would be inactive to make way for Charles Johnson rather than putting CJ in Amini's active spot.

I don't really understand how a LS can be out minus a broken bone tbh.

just bend over and snap the ball and back pedal if u have to, just don't let your guy get passed u.

Am I missing something here?

To start, you're missing the whole tackling aspect of punt coverage.

Disagree.

A bad long snap on a punt can do some real damage in a game (i.e. easy points for the opponent).

I get the importance. I'm just saying that active jerseys are valuable and having an LS active who ultimately may not play, be it JJ or new guy, stings. Definitely an unusual situation.

I get that.

Best I can say is if both are active (which would surprise me) then whomever is deactivated will likely be somebody on the lower end of the roster.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
