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.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
