Poke me if I'm not here every day, help me get back into the routine! lol

Something I forgot to mention is, I've been playing around with AI and for the past 6 months or year, have thought about trying to do our own little cartoons like the old EMB used to do. Is that possible? Yes. Is that easy? That's what I'm going to try to figure out.

I’m curious. Where do you think these holes are? IMO we have no holes in the 24 starters (24 includes NCB and Slot WR). Do you agree with that.

So the holes have to exist around the periphery. Last year at this time we had holes along the LOS on both sides. This year, even with Greenard’s PUP status that is not the case. There are no holes at LB and there were none at LB last year either. We have no holes at RB, and arguably RB is stronger (less of a hole) now than it was 12 months ago.

CB2 was a big hole last year. It is not now.

So that leaves CB 4-6, Safety 3-4, TE 3 and WR 2-6 as the only possible holes. That sounds like dents rather than holes.

We do not agree.

What am I misunderstanding?

At the end of training camp, IPP players can either be signed to their assigned club’s 53-man roster or waived. Players who clear waivers may be signed to their assigned team’s practice squad using an IPP exemption that allows for an extra practice squad spot. IPP players signed to a practice squad using the exemption may not be signed to any team’s active roster that season; however, players signed to a practice squad without the exemption are treated in the same way as other practice squad players for roster purposes.

New Rules for 2024 International Player Pathway Program:

Beginning in 2024, each of the 32 NFL clubs is eligible to fill a 17^th roster spot on its practice squad, reserved for an international player. A participating club is permitted to elevate its international practice squad player to its active roster a maximum of three times throughout the season — increasing the flexibility for clubs to leverage the additional player, while creating more opportunity to play.

I couldn't find the exact source I read it from a few months ago but this is the Falcons Director of Football Communications

As Krieg satisfies the NFL's definition of an international player, he can be signed to the team's practice squad as such. As a member of the practice squad, he is subject to the same roster and transaction rules as the other practice squad members. This includes the ability to be elevated to the active roster on game day, which can be done a maximum of three times during the regular season and any number of games during the postseason.

One recent change to the international player rules is that Krieg is now eligible to be signed off the Falcons practice squad to another team's active roster at any time. Previously, IPs were not permitted to be signed from a practice squad to another team's active roster.

It's on the NFL site and both the Philly Special and PHLY podcasters have been telling me the same. We'll see if/when it happens.

Some undue risk on cutdown day imo, but it worked out. That’s a good group.

Hoping Zion Wilson & Deontae Lawson make it back

Look for both Bernard and Weru to return, but only one gets IPP status - meaning protected for the entire season.

Look for Wis and Pulley, Hall and/or Wilson at DT, Ojukwu, Majors, James-Newby, Lawson, Covey, Pierce, Campbell.

Missed on Wilson and Lawson.

Interesting answer - someone on the move it seems

The what was the point of your post? You think the Eagles FO and the fans have been like, "welp, he’s just a WR, we can replace him anytime we want”?

You know what they’re not going to miss? Having to deal with his weekly petulant behavior and having to alter the game-plan to make him happy.

Hey guys, guess what. The Eagles are going to miss their best WR they’ve had in decades. Riggght. We missed him the better part of last year, especially in the playoff game.

Maybe I’m wrong because I did not give full detail to my post. I didn’t think I’d have to but I’ll explain. I meant in terms of his production. I understand that he had to be traded cause of the distractions and antics but looking at what we have now I have questions about this WR core.

I would like to see them add a TE.

Howie presser...

• All four QBs have value to the team. Some short-term, some long-term. Such a valuable position. The lost McCord off the PS last season and was just traded for a sixth.

• Talks up E.J. Jenkins. Former receiver, built up body, really good point-of-attack and pass protection.

• Lemon and Stowers - no doubt in their abilities.

• Weru and Bernard - They looked at the tape that was available for other teams to help inform their decision.

I think it just means Payton is long term others are signed for a year

Here's what NFL.com has as of 3:50 pm EDT. Seems about right to me. Maximus Pulley made it😂.

I thought the same thing until saw more recently they updated the rules. Like before, if a player was designated IPP he would not be allowed to be elevated from the PS but now they can. I think they are trying to give them more opportunities to play then be stuck on a PS with no path to playing.

I heard the podcasts say the same thing, I just don't think they are as up to date about the rudimentary details. I would trust the Falcons Director of Communications over EJ Smith, no offense.

Would absolutely take him as the backup.

Can't see how he makes it to us through waivers...

Is there any big news that I likely haven't seen? Any big injuries or big signings?
