Maybe I heard it wrong

Maybe not. Shockingly, a lot of teams, including ours, barely ran any 10 personnel, with 8 teams running 0 all year (double the previous 2 seasons). That blows my mind.

Maybe Duke getting called up is insurance for Beasley.  Beasley may still dress for game and give it a shot but Duke is there just in case he can't finish or is on a snap count.

Don’t think both will be active though. Not enough roster spots.

Well, so does the Duke love although it seems to have run quiet since the WR upgrades of Diggs and Davis

So how does this work, who gets sent down? 
 

Who is Williams replacing in the 53?

 

I believe they're allowed 2 practice squad callups for gameday without sending anyone down.  More if they are replacements for covid-19

could be any number of guys. Have to wait and see when the inactives are announced tomorrow.

 

Edit: could be Duke himself actually.

The duke hate has always been a reaction to the ridiculously blind duke love. 
 

It peaked for me when I had numerous board members explaining to me that the guy whose only talent is contested catches dropped a TD in the playoffs because it was too contested....

gotta be a numbers thing. Said earlier they’ve 5 healthy CBs active currently. I think Dane is great, but who do you sit amongst that group of Wallace, Norman, Johnson, Neal and Tre? I really don’t think they’ve had 6 CBs active in any game this season but I could be wrong. Can’t find an easy way to look that up right now.

Is he great? Gave up a TD last week. I think he’s been fine as a rookie and made some nice plays but small sample size, gave up the TD last week, and all the top corners are healthy as you said. From a trust perspective Mcdermott is going to err on the side of veteran in a playoff game.

should’ve said great “for a rookie.”

 

I have full faith in the coaches and whatever their reasoning for not playing him more. They see him every day.

The Duke love isn't blind, because he more often than not made the play given the opportunity.  The dropped TD against Houston was huge, dialing me back to Duke like (same issue with McKittrick dropping the TD in Houston, but he's made up for it since).  The other reason I like Duke is I can break out the Isaac Hayes reference when he does make a play, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
