The 2019 practice squad thread

Ike Kelly said:
The final roster will be fluid until Monday at the earliest. Layne (Leg) or Chickillo (Chest) will probably go on IR. That opens up a spot on the 53, there is still one spot left on the PS right now. Possibly Holton or another TE could be signed to the 53, with whoever missing out going to the PS. Grimble may actually be in danger of being waived if a more seasoned back up TE is signed. The 3rd TE is usually a defined project player, i.e. Gentry.

Grimble for me is wasted space. I am thinking they like him as a blocker. But not even sure he is that great at that

I have isolated my view on him a few times. Preseason game a couple years ago and a few times just watching game film. He has a great motor and doesn't quit working, but he is inconsistent with his blocks. Sometimes I think he is too aggressive going after the target and that costs him a little in technique. You can't help but like his motor, but he really is another guy who out ran the rest of the pack running from the bear. I have no doubt the team is looking at the wire and making some calls to find another TE. May not be one available, but I have no doubt they are looking. If they find, I think he is the guy they replace.
 
I'm feeling like someone us going to the IR and Holton is getting a spot on the 53. Frankly considering all the talent the PS is pretty underwhelming. I like Mondeaux and Spillane. After that. Not so much.
 
I think that Elliot showed more than some on the PS. I know one play doesn't make someone, but he showed quick hands to get these strip and outran everyone easily. Also think Holton should hardt on

They've gotta have an agreement in place, seeing this. Layne goes to IR?
 
Hopefully we get Holton. Shame we lost Spencer but in the long run I think Holton offers much more.
 
With Spencer gone, I'm 100% Holton now, we need another WR on the roster / practice squad. I'm still thrilled with the room they saved LBs q
