Thought that's who they were waiting on after they didn't pick up Gilikin They worked out guys including Gillikin today. We’ll see if they sign anyone. Otherwise I bet they workout Mann tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to not have signed any of the 3 they worked out yesterday just yet ... they have some time (obviously don't want another team scooping up a top candidate if we drag our heels too long on this). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillikin or Mann would be just fine. I think the key is make sure we have a good holder for Elliott. Whichever is the better holder unless we have any other better options on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdjackjr Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Araiza is the best option. Very Surprised we haven't brought him in honestly. Howie / Lurie have never shied away from this if it truly fit a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say "former Steeler" and then goes on to say the Steelers kept 2 punters on their 53. It's almost like they wrote the tweet before the cuts and expected that outcome (which obviously didn't materialize). Either that or they are incredibly misinformed based on the timing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie / Lurie have never shied away from this if it truly fit a need. Just accept that teams are waiting for the civil suit to be gone. Continuing to read about this guy, especially with expressions of surprise, is grating. The guy is getting sued for some sex thing. No team wants an unknown punter with a sex suit coming up. If they want him, they'll wait until that's over and done with. I expect that it will end sufficiently well for the punt god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2rock Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 As of Monday still only 15 on the practice squad (according to https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/players-roster/). No Phillips, no Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did last year and it worked out pretty well. Also they have three wide receivers on the practice squad, so they have seven guys who are available on any given Sunday. Not a problem at all.

Makes sense Johnson is more a ST player whereas can see Morrow being elevated if they an injury and help out given how light we are at LB. We hardly knew ya Mullen! Between Maddox and Goodrich, they probably feel a slot is covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is likely the plan this year, and that is a plan has already worked. So no need to get panicked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
