Agree with most everything other than I think they will keep PJ over Grier and in lieu of keeping a FB, either Christian Miller or Phil Hoskins makes the team

I want a young QB on the PS as the #3.  Do not know why all #3QBs are not young and developing players on the PS.  Saves a roster spot, but causes a clipboard to go unheld.

 I think he will get picked up of we do. I would like to keep him. He has made plays against the pass and the run in preseason.

Agree I think we drop Bonnafon and keep Hoskins.  Also doubt Ricci makes the team.  Also think we almost certainly pick up a LB and OL

I would personally also move 1 of our QBs to the PS and sign a vet to the AR

I struggled with Hoskins---I hope you are right and not me.  Personally, I think we could go Fullbackless...Tremble can lead block.

What's Hoskins done to earn a roster spot?

I had a quick look at the Colts footage this afternoon. He was getting stonewalled most plays - even got pancaked on one.

Without rewatching the games, I am pretty sure he had a sack and a TFL in limited action. Plus we need him as a large DT because most of our DTs are small pass rusher DE hybrids. We need to develop him as a run stopper IMO.

Jones and Brown are huge.

Not that it's a big deal, but for the record I only count 79 currently on roster.

As far as predicting the final 53, Fitterer trading every other day makes it tough 😄

Heaven knows what he'll do when everybody's final cuts are out there.

Oh, just a FYI, I looked up the practice squad stuff the other day because of the backup QB talk.  Plenty of room to stash either.  Both would qualify.  I had questioned if they both were eligible. 

  • Expansion of practice squads to 16 players, including up to six who have more than two accrued seasons.

  • The ability to protect up to four practice squad players per week from being signed by other teams

I am still a fan of adding a older vet and basically telling him, your job is to simply be a good voice in the film room.    PJ and Will don't really offer much to our Sam Experiment.

That’s what I’m hoping for.  I’d love to keep Hoskins on the 53, he’s impressed in his time here so far.  Tremble would excel in those FB looks so that saves a spot like you said.   I think you’re pretty spot on, but I also think we keep PJ over Grier.  Like 3 of those picks were in the last Saints game where we were down big, and he was just slinging it trying to make a play.  Plus, I hate to be on the meme train about this, but he also went to Temple so Rhule’s more familiar with him.

    • Almost may as well keep Dalton. Geno won’t be competition. IMO.  He could be but I don’t think they will take that approach. I think more Andy pt 2, big bro, mentor, emergency starter.  I really want to be wrong but we have had no encouraging signs there for two years.    If we are stuck with Bryce again, and it looks like we will be, I would so much more prefer a younger player with a possible future. A guy that hasn’t been great but maybe didn’t have the best situation - and let nature take its course. But I don’t expect anything that I want to happen, as far as it goes. It never does. Not one time yet under Tepper. Starting with the 3-4. 
    • We can go on and on about the players, but I'm more into judging Canales O based on the playcalling and general design. It's still a very mixed bag for me. There are times where I like what I see. The rolling pockets he'll call at times seem to play right into Bryce's best qualities which I like. Him using Jimmy Horn with certain plays is good - although execution by Horn has been frustrating when he missed an opportunity for a big play. if it's 4th down and a pass play, I like the odds of a good play. Giving Coker more snaps over XL recently is a potentially good sign that he's not satisfied with XL's mistakes and is adjusting accordingly. I don't follow why we don't use the tight ends more often in the pass game, but seems that those work better than average. At some point, we were really running the ball well, so that's something, I suppose. On the other hand, while he has shown to adjust, it often is too much of a swing in the other direction. Too often, we do something and it's working - like if running to the perimeter is getting us yards - only for Canales to then go back go stuffing up in the middle and wasting a down. Don't need to harp about the times when he tries to be too cute and it blows up in our faces. Canales has too many bad tendencies that our opponents are picking up on, like how we are quite likely to run on first down. Finally, I sometimes get the impression his play designs are for players that we don't actually have. We just don't really have explosive players on our teams that can make guys miss, and so these route concepts really should reflect the reality that YAC is not really expected and so it needs to be more vertical and/or have elements that help create separation by design. In other words, it still feels like the margin of error for a successful play, even a basic one, is too narrow.
    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
