Dkollidas Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Is it still 46 active players per team for playoff games? Or are any other allowed to play? if it were up to me I’d try to get Duke Williams, Tommy Sweeney , and possibly even TJ Yeldon in the game. This is a 46-man roster, I’d probably kick Foster to the bench honestly. Probably Yeldon as well. Gore’s style up the middle should be successful in a supplemental role against Houston. I do believe they place too much emphasis on special team players. It just doesn’t affect games as much as in the past with the new rules. A forward thinking organization (which I believe they’re becoming if not already) should be aware of that. Players Inactive: RB- Yeldon (I just don’t see them benching Perry because of his special teams abilities) WR- Foster ( I think the time has come to give Duke a shot, he showed up. He had that one bad drop but other than that he showed tenacity after the 50/50’s and was a solid contributor) TE- Smith- Useless with a capital ”U” DT- Taylor- No need if the other 4 are healthy S- Johnson S- Marlowe- Coleman should play over these two. If he needs to come in he’s got the experience not to be overwhelmed by the situation. QB(2) Allen Barkley RB(3) Singeltary Gore Perry FB(1) DiMarco WR(5) Brown Beasley McKenzie Roberts Williams TE(3) Knox Kroft Sweeney LT(2) Dawkins Bates LG(1) Spain C(2) Morse Long RG(1) Feliciano RT(2) Ford Nsekhe DE(4) Hughes Lawson Murphy Johnson DT(4) Oliver Phillips Liuget Lotulelei LB(5) Edmunds Milano Alexander Thompson Stanford CB(5) White Wallace T.

Dkollidas Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Best Player Available said: clever Duke thread Well no, my main question is whether they are still only allowed to dress 46 players. I just went ahead and did a 46 man roster bc it’s fun. Edited December 30, 2019 by Dkollidas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Duke Williams is still on the team? The safety they drafted like five years ago? Has he been converted to WR? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Rewatch the game and look at Sweeney’s poor blocking and in some cases avoidance of blocking. There is a big reason he had been sitting. Now I dislike Lee Smith and know he won’t be on the team next year but unless we have a swing tackle on the team that can block and play TE also, Sweeney’s role is that of a blocking TE. He just isn’t ready for that yet. He won’t dress this postseason and shouldn’t. Wr already have 2 quick pass catching TEs and Sweeney is slow.

Phil The Thrill Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 They put Isaiah Mczkenzie on the field for a few snaps at CB. That can’t happen. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the team sign Captain Munnerlyn until Wallace can return 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Wouldn't shock me to see Duke active instead of Foster, but that's about the only change I think you'll see barring injury. Consider the O line may be a bit nicked up, could see them dressing one extra there at the expense of another position like DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla03 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Duke Williams got 100+ yards receiving with Matt Barkley playing QB Give this man a starting spot ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I don't see what Roberts offers as a kick returner, to justify him a spot. McKenzie can take that role with no drop in production. That frees one spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie can take that role with no drop in production. That frees one spot. McKenzie cannot hold on to the football. Also, Roberts has been getting those additional 10-20 yards in the KR game. In a playoff game, it is all about protecting the football. If Andre can go next Saturday, he will be the one returning kicks and punts for the Bills. If Andre cannot go, they will go with Duke Williams. Thee only other ay Williams is active is to deactivate Kroft for thee game. Again, I don't think McDermott will do that. Foster and Perry are part of the Special Teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I really like the element Yeldon adds to the passing game. Now, is that worth a core special teamer? Probably, not. I dont see anything changing in terms of inactives. You dont change much about what got you to the playoffs. Week 17 was preseason game number 5 with a 46 man roster vs 90.
