Title: Marshall & Alonzo Jackson Activated From Practice Squad
Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on October 08, 2005, 06:58:31 PM
Added:

DT - Keyonta Marshall (#65)
DE - Alonzo Jackson (#62)

Released:

WR - Darnerian McCants
FS - Jeremy Thornburg

Well, Thorburg finally got the boot but so did McCants..again. I'm sure he'll be re-signed on Monday since Walker will be back after the BYE. And leaving McCants out there would be dangerous since Seattle is hurting at WR (they're starting Jurevicius and Hackett tomorrow) and Green Bay is hurting at WR too (they might sign Andre Davis).

I'm sure Thornburg will be added to the PS.

Here's what I'd do on Monday:

1. Release Jackson ; re-sign him to the PS
2. Keep Marshall on the 53
3. Re-sign McCants

They activated Jackson because Cole's hammy has been bothering him. And Juqua's knee has been gimpy too. If one or both went down tomorrow then they'd only have Jevon & ND at DE.

Heeeeeyyy, I was just posting this in your other thread about Moats working out with the KR team you bastich! >:(

Anyway, I'm with you on Darnerian, but someone else is going to have to make room for the return of Doogs and I'm thinking that that someone is gonna be Marshall but we'll see.

I'm assuming that since he was brought up a day before the game, Jackson will be active for it as well.

If he shows good pass-rushing ability -- he was a 2nd rounder just a few seasons back -- he may stick since RDE is far from a secure position.

Sorry, Hayz. I figured i'd start a new one since the moves were actually made.

Larry,

McDougle will be back soon. Reid said he's lookin good. He'll get that other DE spot.

I like Marshall. Big body, and can stuff the run. I think he'll be better than Grasmanis.

And both of his achilles tendons are fully functional so that's a plus.
