Honestly curious: How many players on our roster can you name without looking?

I got up to 37 before I started blanking. Weird. I think it’s cause I read a depth chart a few days ago. (I know there’s one or two starters we’ve had for a few years at least that I’m blanking on too.)

Yeah, I was blanking on some of last year's rookies like Thomas-Oliver & Roy.  I had to really work hard to pull those names out of my brain along with a few other guys who played last year.  Also, I totally forgot  about DaQuan Jones (even though I was excited when we signed him), and guys like RB Trenton Cannon...

I guess I need to do some conditioning too to get in top season form!  LOL

STO and Cannon. Should have remembered those.

Franklin too. That name just popped in my head. I knew I was missing a safety or two.

I'm a little less diehard than I was a few years back ('13-'17ish) where I could easily name every player on the 53 and the practice squad and also the large majority of the camp bodies on the 90 man roster (going to camp regularly back then certainly helped too...). Probably in the 40-50+ range right now. Starters and notable/main backups are easy and then maybe a handful of others, but I pretty much don't know any of the camp bodies/guys not likely to make the team...

My number is 54 and that's only if you include Ha Ha Clinton-dix which is premature....so really I listed 53.

Yeah, I checked, I blanked on some ones I shouldn't have

I forgot to list:

Greg Little, Mike Horton, Gross-Matos, Haynes, Roy, Luvu, Melvin, Stanly Thomas Oliver

Even if I didn't blank I only had 61.  The rest I know very little about including  Ibe.

Back in the early 2000’s I could tell you the 52 man roster plus practice squad.  Could name the staff too all the way down to equipment manager.

Now?

uh…. CMC, Burns, Chinn, All 3 Moores, the draft class and FA class.  Outside that, spotty at best.

25%- 30%?

    • It is tiresome for sure. This whole 6 year run is tiresome. I am tired of this team. Really just, can’t stand ownership’s reign and decision making and am worn the fug down by them. And the people who defend their mistakes, year after year. Oddly enough I have optimism, slight but it is there. Not about Bryce, he represents the bad Tepper decisions to me and either will change that opinion or he won’t.  I just have a decent feeling about the Morgan and Canales duo. 
    • Many of those posters are still around. The ones who compared him to hall of famers in this and other sports. They're just biding their time waiting to see if Bryce will suddenly turn into a great QB. I think the way you frame it indicates the problem. It's either on one side people who as you put it "don't like him" (in most instances impossible to truly know on an anonymous chat board) or people who need to see him with stacked talent to form a conclusion after hyping up as a one man show a year ago. You say there are discussions to be had but if it involves anything remotely on the side of negative instead of the "everything is awesome" end of the spectrum it is met with talk of what some are now describing as a pathological need to be critical of him. As if the rest of the sports world doesn't have these same blunt discussions whenever he is mentioned. If there were truly other more notable discussions to be had right now that haven't also been discussed endlessly we would be having them. We just had yet another uniform thread. Instead the top 2 threads dominating the front page for the last 24 hours since the first blueprint episodes dropped have revolved around the starting QB. That's just the modern NFL. Some people want to shoot the messenger over that because they don't like the banter that follows 🤷‍♂️
    • #1 thing you need for any rookie QB (as far as personnel goes) is the OL. Second thing you need is a run game that takes the pressure off the rookie and allows him a chance to grow. run games are just easier to manage for someone still learning the ropes. third thing you need is reliable bail out option receivers who can 1) get open and/or 2) just catch the ball. last year we had none of that in place. this year i think we've gotten together everything that he should have had last year.
