[Sir Blue and Gold]

It might not be possible. The ratio makes things really hard sometimes. But I'd try is all.

[TecnoGenius]

Oliveria hardly ever gets a breather when he's healthy. So no point unless he misses a game. We need 2 defensive players as DI's.

I'd often agree with you here, but we may decide O needs some help like when McCrae was often rostered.  He could easily make PR, and the AR may therefore depend on the relative strength the O vs D shows in-season.  We can be flexible.  And if anyone wants to say we can't, then explain why we were able to roster McCrae for so many games (and "injuries" doesn't tell the whole story).

[Blue In BC]

We had already signed Peyton Logan in FA as a back up RB and returner.

It seems like it was already a possibility to have an American RB on the field. What do you do if you unearth a better prospect?

Cooley isn't doing any duty as a returner which he's need to do as well.

People that can play multiple positions are worth more players that can only do one, known commodities same
Vaval looks ace

Oh I think he'll make the PR. As an import, a receiver would have to come off the field any time he was on the field. It's the nature of our ratio on offence.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Might be able to keep him while Logan is shelfed.

Echo

Vaval?  I thought he was NAT?  He sure is looking like a great (backup?) returner.  He has no fear hitting the hole and plenty of speed.  Legs like Dequoy.

Edit: but Vaval hasn't done anything to impress on D... yet

He is not.

[TecnoGenius]

He is not.

Darn then.  Unless he proves to be the next Grant this game he's almost certainly going to be cut, eh?

Edit: Too bad he's not NAT from Laval. Vaval from Laval.

[Blueforlife]

Corcoran made the team

Wilson got z mojo back

Cooley might make NFL at this rate why is he so good?

[Blue In BC]

Note that our defensive DI's get lots of reps. An import RB will not due to how good Oliveria is when he's healthy.

I'm not sure who the defensive DI's might be yet, but 4 import LB's ( including Ayers ), Griffin, Woods and Adams, maybe Person.

Realistically how many reps would Cooley get while Oliveria is active? I like the guy but I don't see a way to get him on the AR.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Has probably been our best returner in the pre-season. Maybe. I think it depends on if he can play in the secondary too even as an emergency backup. They're looking at him there tonight.

[TecnoGenius]

I guess Chase The Greek is done with injury for the day then?  Guess we'll be cutting him then as we didn't get enough looks to do otherwise.

Was #68 holding his arm after that decent run?  Is that Wallace?  Don't want any AR injuries tonight!

That's how he makes it if he can play D
