Underrated post.  Well done. 

Thank you. 

 

Good humor is a terrible thing to waste.

I tend to leave a LOT of waste here.

If I'm McDermott, I'm getting those backup safety and corner backs as many game reps as possible. We need the depth in the playoffs. 

I’m almost positive that happens over the final 2 or 3 weeks.  I’d also expect to see Cine, Hyde, and Daquan Hardy to get some reps before the postseason.

It will be a DLineman, yep. 

Only 11 on the 53-man roster now....that's almost 21%.

No *****?

Probably see Grable get activated next week and one of the DL released since they are way overbooked on the Defensive line right now and now with Clapp gone that opens up the Grable spot back on the roster.

Yeah, 12 for the 4 man Defensive Line vs. 8 for the 5 man Offensive Line is kind of wild. I get that the D-Line is rotated. But 12 seems a little high for the D-Line and 8 seems a little low for the O-Line.

 

The roster breakdown of D vs. O is a little wild in general too. 28 rostered on Defense v. 22 rostered on Offense (remaining 3 for K, P, and LS). 

and yet that defense is so underwhelming.  they are desperate to get some stars come out of that group and it has been tough going.  The silver line of this defense is forcing turnovers and winning the battle in the red zone.   The failed on both counts last week that resulted in the loss.  

 

Oliver, Groot, Benford, Bernard need to turn into blue chip playerss.   Good Enough is NOT Good Enough for this team's super bowl aspirations.

The ratio probably speaks to that. On Offense, they're loaded at all the positions with stars that are holding it down. On Defense, they need more bodies to keep fresh bodies on the field to help make up for underperformance. It's like the old adage goes, if you've got a lot at a position, you probably don't have many studs.

Hopefully Eric Moulds takes note that you can get rid of the Clap, but herpes is forever.

To my eye Smoot added a LOT to the pass rush before his injury. Hopefully he can come back and make a difference.

The last thing this team needed was the clap.

I'd like to thank Eric Moulds for helping to develop Shakir into the receiver he is today.

I saw Clapp walking through the TSA line today and wondered if he was released

Mike White? Is Trubisky hurt, or are they expecting Josh to sit out the fourth quarter again?

Seems odd to have 3 QBs active, especially w the injuries in the secondary.  I wonder if White has actually taken over as QB 2 and they just don’t want to release MT.

If you get called up you get a regular game check. During the holidays it's commonly for teams to elevate a few guys for a little Christmas bonus.

I don’t expect White to be active for the game. As others have said, he gets a much larger check this week for being called up, but that doesn’t mean he will actually dress for the game.

They cut Clapp and are currently down 1 OL.  I’d expect Jefferson/Phillips to be cut next week to make room for Grable.  

 

Of the 2, my guess is Phillips

True fan; recognized an end-of-roster player in the wild. Even if he was wearing his jersey, I still

wouldn't know if it was actually him or not.

Is this true? That we are bringing up practice squad players for maybe the biggest game of the year?  I mean, do that next week coach!

Is that how Moulds had ‘blistering’ speed?!
