Imagine DQ and Linval Joseph together in short yardage and goal line situations.

We make it to the Super Bowl and face the Eagles I guess we know the plan for the Tush Push.

Glad they never had to use him because Spencer Brown has not only stayed healthy but also played really well. But I still hope they are able to sneak him back on the PS. Unlikely as the state of play in the NFL of offensive lines is so bad that some team is likely to want to pick him up for depth.

Bobby Hart time!!!!

Yeah, no surprise here. It was discussed in the Elam thread and it became fairly obvious he was the odd man out for Daquan.

 

This late in the season, he should easily be brought back to the PS. And if not, Van Demark is RT2 anyways, Bates can play OT in a pinch, and we still have Richard Gouraige on the PS.

I tend to think that David Edwards would come in at RT if Brown got hurt mid-game. He’s played RT before, and has been playing on the end of the line (as a tackle eligible) in most games this year. Hopefully we don’t get to find out.

Well hopefully for him he got his Rolex!!!

So what happened to Ifedi?  Surprised that Miami or Cleveland didn't pick him up given all the injuries that they have experienced to their o-line.

Likely they are waiting for his to pass waivers before signing him to minimum value contract.

I thought he didn't have to go through waivers since he is a seven year vet.

All players this time of year go thru waivers.

I thought he had a decent chance of clearing.  Having him to call up is big.

Can another team sign him to their active roster still? Or can we promote him to the active roster every week from here on out without having to use a 53 spot on him, essentially protecting him?

Bills can protect a number of players each week.

I also believe a team cannot poach from opposition practice squad week before a game.

Well at least we dot have to worry about Germainia bombing Pear Harbor any time soon…,

The "protect players each week" thing went away with Covid rules.

 

You're correct that a team can not sign from another team's practice squad the week before they play them.
