2013 Practice Squad

[Guiness]

When you have 13 rookies/1st year players make the final 53, you are quite far down the talent list for PS eligible players on your own roster. When you consider that another one that they wanted to get on PS was claimed on waivers, you don't have a lot left to pick from. They decided to scrap a couple from last year who would still be PS eligible (e.g. Coleman & Datko), leaving not much choice but to look to other teams.

Doesn't matter too much anyway, because under TT the PS has been a very fluid list, and he usually begins making changes almost immediately. After a week or two "tryout" some of the current members will be released and others signed, maybe even some who were in GB before.

Is the Pack's number really at 13? Wow, I hadn't realized it was that high.

and that doesn't include Tretter, who is on PUP.

It's weird to me that guys who played really well in camp (Walker) or appear to have upside (Coleman?) don't even get a sniff of anyone's PS, but a guy who looks like a schlub (Lewis) getes snapped up to someone else's 53 right away.

It's a strange world, NFL talent evaluation.

Measureables, Fritz, meh. sure. a. bulls!

Lesse...Lacy, Franklin, Jones, Banjo, Bakhtiari, Hyde, Boyd, Palmer, Barrington, Mulumba, Taylor. I didn't think Barrington was a rookie for some reason, and forgot about Mulumba and Taylor.

That's only 11 though...I got the list from sportsline, did they miss a couple?

IR has Dorsey, Reed and Cunningham - but that's not the Final 53. I see 11.

Bostick and Ross are listed as having one year experience, but not rookies of course. Perry and other rooks from last year are listed as having 2 years (in their second year). I assume that has to do with when they were signed/activated last year. But I suppose they could count towards the 13.

I referred to "rookies/1st year players" so the list also includes Bostick and Ross who are not rookies, but do not have enough games for an accrued season. Thus, they are called "1st year players." Both would have been eligible for the practice squad.

For that matter, I think VanRoten was also PS eligible, even though he has one accrued season.

Interesting designation - so Ross and Bostick are listed as being in their first year, I guess because they've got some accrued time, but not a full season yet. Perry is entering his second year.

I wonder how that works come RFA/FA time? Would Bostick and Ross be eligible a year after Perry, even though they entered the league the same year? Probably, I think it's based on accrued seasons.

I saw Mulligan was signed by NE but I can't recall presently if he is now on their PS or 53.

Mulligan is a 3 year veteran. He would not be eligible for any practice squad.

Hmmmm. . . . 6'3" 215, good burst and agility, not great top end speed, but everything else. . . . Fitzgerald?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think Fitz was faster than that.

Except for the weight - those are Brian Cushings Combine results

[HarveyWallbangers]

Eric Decker maybe? He's sort of like Jordy but a little slower.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Are we talking about a receiver here?
