GreekJet Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 It’s very strange to have 5 QBs on the roster between the 53 and PS. My initial thought is Fales serves as Darnold backup on the active roster until Flacco returns. Perhaps after that they cut Fales and hang onto White. Next offseason White and Morgan compete for the backup job (assuming Darnold is the uncontested starter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Normally might be weird, but 16 practice squad spots. They brought back virtually everyone they could, it’s not like these guys are taking the spot of someone else we wanted to add to the PS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 From what I can tell, you can activate the QB from PS to active roster only one time in a row. If you wanted to do it two weeks in a row you need to sign them for real to the active roster. Having two QBs on the practice squad let you rotate them without signing them to the active roster and having to pay them as such. You can bring one up one week and one the other, back and forth (hopefully not). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Flacco never should have been signed if it was known he was out for early games. Fales (or white) should be sent packing if we drafted a QB 4th round. A few reasonable vet qbs have shaken lose at cut down time. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next offseason White and Morgan compete for the backup job (assuming Darnold is the uncontested starter) They can add a player from the PS to the gameday roster 2x (each player can be added 2x; they get 2 slots for that each week) during the season. Flacco is due back week 3. That's your answer They aren't comfortable with White or Morgan as the backup right now, and if someone must play in a game weeks 1 or 2 they'd prefer it to be Fales. That's why he's on the PSquad - he'll be on the gameday roster (and Flacco won't) weeks 1 and 2. They prefer White to Fales long-term, or at least think White is worth further development. That's why he's on the PSquad - and I wouldn't be surprised if they cut Fales from the PSquad once Flacco is back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not fond of Flacco, but there is no way we would only have our 4th round QB as a backup under normal circumstances. Without the preseason it is def. not going to happen. So, you want to groom Morgan and Flacco isn't ready to start. Look what happened last year when we didn't have any real backups. Once Flacco is gone, I would guess we will loose one or both of them. Again, this just practice squad and the squad is 16 deep. I get not loving Flacco, but getting all worked up about 2 practice squad slots seems a bit nit-picky to me. It is a crazy year, and we are not likely winning the SB so, I can't get too worked up about this kind of thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely had a kickoff specialist at least once, in addition to our regular kicker and punter. The guy I remember in that role was Don Silvestri, back in the mid 90s. I think rosters were smaller back then too, and we had a guy just to kickoff once or twice a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
