Practice Squad

[Guiness]

I'm a little surprised Borel made the practice squad. He had the training from being on it all of last year, then went through TC and didn't make the team even though we kept an 'extra' WR...getting beat out by a UDFA. They aren't even keeping him around in case of an injury to a WR, as they already have a replacement on the 53! Seems to me like his chance is about used up.

I think Coleman bears watching.

I think Borel is the most gifted of the three (Gurley, Borel, Boykin) that's probably the reason he made the PS. They want to see if he can hone his skills a bit.

Boykin's on the 53, isn't he?

Packers add G/T Chris Scott to PS.

Someone pointed out that 6' 5", 332 Lbs. Scott was an inch shorter and 13 pounds lighter at his last stop. The weight would be easy to buy, but height?

[smuggler]

Yeah, he is.

Ya, one good Wisconsin meal could account for the 13 extra pounds but not an inch increased height!

Some years TT has been pretty active with practice squad changes early in the year. He will bring guys in for a week or two, release them and sign someone else. I wouldn't be surprised to see Scott released next week or the week after.

Tennessee had him even bigger in college, 6'5", 346 Lbs.

McCarthy commented on his size in a press conference.

“Just had an opportunity to watch Chris Scott play in the last game, the Pittsburgh-Carolina game, and I thought he played very well,” said McCarthy. “It was probably his best performance of the preseason, just in my opinion in viewing the tape with the personnel department Saturday. He’s definitely a young man. He spent three years in Pittsburgh and we feel it was important to bring him in and take a look at him. Physically, there’s a lot to like. I thought he played very well in that game and I’m excited he’s here.”

Maybe it was LOST 13 pounds and gained an inch.

i'm not sure why they wasted a PS spot w/ a TE but whatever.

I am excited Datko got a spot. I look for him to make a big jump next yr if he can get thru this one healthy. Lots of promise in my opinion.

As some of you might remember from the Super Bowl discussions, I know someone very well who worked for the Steelers (until recently). Worked directly with the players. I asked about Scott, and was just told he is a very, very nice young man.

Maybe that was his problem in Pittsburgh, he is too nice. The same has been said of Marshall Newhouse.

Because you never know when you might need a 6th one!
