Unlimited elevations during the post season.

Sweet.  We can call up Hyde four times.

[SectionC3]

Gore and clapp.  It’s a no brainer.  Entire starting OL sits.  That’s the engine of this team.  

[Warriorspikes51]

I think Shavers should be put on the 53

 

he’s taller than Allen, has worked hard players love him

 

showed a real speed gear on his TD run

 

He could be an “X factor” to some degree

 

Samuel has battled turf toe all season. Now has a rib injury. IR him at this point?

Not sure if you are serious but I dont see that happening since they have not called him up during the final three to get some reps.  Seems like he is there for leadership and coaching.

And if Trubisky goes down you play Gore at QB?   I see Mike White as one of the two callups. and  see either Torrence or Edwards playing a big chunk.

Who do you waive?  That is great that he works hard but no way you let one of Shakir, Hollins, Cooper, Coleman or Samuel go.  Not sure about Samuel to be honest...if his turf toe is lingering you could IR him I guess.   Anyway, Shavers does not have speed, he ran a 4.59 forty and he is not an X factor.  He made a good play in the fourth quarter against a defense that quit, lets not blow it out of proportion.

Shavers showed speed last week.  He was pulling away from defenders

Slow WRs dont score 69 yard TDs from the line of scrimmage.  There is track speed and then there is football speed.

Sure.  Gore at QB.  Wildcat.  Whatever.  The starting five don’t see the field,  Allen takes one snap out of shotgun and either hands the ball to cook or throws it in the general vicinity of Samuel and the rest of the game is inside zone, power,  duo and get it over with.

Ok he’s super fast, except he’s not.  Angles and blocking can make a play look a certain way.  I know you will keep pounding that square peg so no need to respond. Let’s just disagree.

Except that is not going to happen.  You have 53 plus 2 from the practice squad to play the whole game.  This is not a preseason game with a ninety man roster. Some starters will play and many key backups will play a lot. Even if you call up clapp.  One injury and what do you do put gore at OT?

Play the starter.  This isn’t that hard.  I’d rather have an injury to a backup than to a starter.  Offensive line is the engine of this team.  Clapp + four backups allows you to play the second unit in its entirety.  Yes, some rotational players - epenesa, for instance — likely will have to play some.  But there’s no reason to not dress Clapp for Mike friggin White in a game where the priority is to not get hurt. 

[Augie]

I nominate @HOUSE. He could use a game check. 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Gore would 100% be one of my choices, then either a lineman or wr would be my second 

 

With gore you have a guy who has taken snaps, so that is your back up QB to trubisky 

[Orlando Buffalo]

I think it is only three guys you can call up but 

I want to sit the DL as much as possible. I am ok with losing this game 42-7 if the DL is well rested for the playoffs.

The discussion is about shavers on the 53 as an “X factor” not Who to play this week.

He ran in the 4.3's coming out of high school.  I saw that 40 time coming out of college and wasn't sure what to believe.  But he was not deceptively fast on that TD.  He was actually fast.

The pro scouts get a more accurate answer.  He ran a 4.59 at his pro day.  What some random coach measures in a random high school is not the same.  Lots of guys are taller til they get to the combine too.   Unless he had an injury or something in which case his agent did him a great disservice.
