Roster situation

[Passepartout]

Just hope that Lewis Harris cut won't hurt the team in the long run.

[ArmyBengal]

My money is on WJ3 returning from PUP, so I can't envision the loss of Lewis-Harris being the be all, end all.
WJ3 would provide depth at CB as well as a boost to special teams play, that hasn't been all that special through the first half.

Peerman would obviously give that same boost and more to ST, but the depth at RB isn't as problematic.

[HoosierCat]

CLH apparently still has PS eligibility, so don't be surprised if the "first shoe to drop" just gets put back on another foot today.

Still on the edge of my seat awaiting the second shoe...

[ArmyBengal]

Pins and needles my friend, pins and needles !!!

[HoosierCat]

Was just reading Hob's new Hobson's Choice column, and it appears that shoe #2 is (drum roll please!) Brandon Thompson coming off PUP! (insert sad trombone sound here)

[ArmyBengal]

Hey, if Brandon Thompson can be the reason Geno gets less attention, I would consider that a huge positive.
I'm sure there's a reason I'm sitting here thinking that won't be the case.  Hmmmm....

[HoosierCat]

Yah, Williams, Thompson, anyone who can beef up that rotation would be good. 

[AMPHAR]

I wonder what their thoughts on Burfict is this year.   He looks heavy and isn't nearly impactful as he usually is.

That's the whole LB corps in my opinion.
This needs to be addressed MUCH sooner come the 2017 draft.

I remember listening to Paulie G after the draft and he basically said they don't value LBs with decent draft choices.    But they could definitely use speed and tackling this year in the middle of the defense considering how much zone they've played.

 

[Stripes]

The defensive line definitely needs help, so I don't object to the return of Gilberry.  I didn't like losing him in the first place.

For those keeping score the above means Chykie Brown, who was cut in Baltimore for sucking, will now replace the guy we just handed CB hungry Baltimore so we could sign a guy we let walk in March.

[HoosierCat]

 

[GapControl]

If WJ3 gets activated, do they cut Chykie Brown?

[HoosierCat]

Seems likely.

Not surprising in the least.  I made a comment about this not long ago.

[HoosierCat]

WJ3 to IR. Peerman activated.

[ArmyBengal]

I hope WJ3 truly isn't ready and this wasn't in desperation to help this team win.
I know Bernard is down, but Burkhead should have been given more opportunity in that spot.

Another rookie we won't have any idea about until next year. 
Not helping...

[HoosierCat]

My guess is that they would have turned WJ3 back on until Gio got hurt. Still hard to make a case for Peerman at 3-6-1. Why not activate Tra Carson from the PS instead? Oh, well.

[kingwilly]

Assuming both are equally ready to go, I'd have preferred WJ3. They have Carson to bring up from PS, so that'd covered rb depth. With Dre and PAC struggling, Jackson could have gotten some experience. 

Peerman won't get meaningful snaps at Rb, so this is solely for STs . We will see what impact he can now make, I guess. 

[Stripes]

How incredibly boring.  I hope this means WJ3 is still hurt, because otherwise it strikes me as nonsense.

[HoosierCat]

 

[HoosierCat]

Chykie Brown to IR.

[Stripes]

NOW I'm convinced we're done.  Chykie Brown was the key to everything.
