Justin Zimmer signed to active roster

Thanks for the explanation - that makes sense.  I figured there was something like that, but didn't know what.

Do you really think the reason Spain was released was so we can promote Zimmer to the active roster? You don't think maybe there were some underlying issues involved with Spain?

Seems clear as can be to me I could see why Spain was cryptic with his tweet towards OBD 

[jamiezzz]

I don't know the details of signing off practice squad, but if I had to guess, we probably signed him to a 1 year deal, and he'll leave next free agency period.

For Leslie to say he did good in the run game is a straight up lie. He got blown off the line, constantly. 

Again these guys are horrible at judging talent. We're doomed

Doesn’t help the others when your one tech practice player is playing futile

Lol six bills vs five offensive lineman I’d choose to let the weak link thru too

Odd considering I think we're all expecting Jon Feliciano to be activated to the 53. Assumed they'd just use Spain's roster spot for him. Now do they release Boettger or something?

[Patrick Duffy]

He made a few plays but he struggled against the run for the most part from what I could tell. So we'll see how this plays out.

"best" part is how he reappears at the very end like he just went under a wave - the entire LOS moved past him by 6 yards and just pops up at the end like "where everybody go?"

Even if Dareus is out of shape I have never seen him get blown up like that.

He was playing against 2 and a half linemen there. Lots of other plays can point to this point made better no?

Never thought a 300 lb. man could be moved so easily when he's supposedly resisting against it.

Look at the exact words: "helped us some in the run game"

Some is a very convenient word.

As I understand it, when players are elevated from the practice squad, they don't automatically get put on the 53.  Because of covid, you are allowed two "free"  PS calls ups each week to suit up for that game.  The same player, though, can only be elevated twice...so you either keep them on the PS after the second call up or you can elevate them.  I believe this was Zimmer's second call up, so they either had to elevate him to the permanent 53, or not be allowed to use him the rest of the season.  If I am in error in my understanding of the rules, please someone correct me so I don't mislead others.

 

I don't think the deal is you can't use him the rest of the season, he's just subject to the normal practice squad rules after the first 2 call ups.  Waivers are the difference.

 

First two call-ups: can put back on practice squad without exposing the player to waivers

After that: can still call him up to the 53, but then you either have to keep him on the 53, or expose him to waivers before he can re-sign to the practice squad

 

And as you said, if I'm misunderstanding, I'd appreciate being set straight.

I agree, I think Frazier is going through a mid life crisis. If the Jets go off offensively I will definitely be onboard the Fire Frazier train. 

Frazier’s always been quite basic and conservative imo. He made his defense work in Minnesota with good pass rushers and solid Dline play. I think Frazier’s bend don’t break defense needs guys capable of making plays to function properly. We have no playmakers, and this defense isn’t going to function well without them. 

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

When you let 2 guys in Phillips and Lawson leave who were arguably our strongest guys off the snap, you are going to have problems. I don’t care what the advanced stats said about Phillips in the run game, that guy pushed people into the pockets and won battles. Lawson was amazing at never getting pushed back and was one of the best run/pass DE’s in the NFL.
