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

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
