...that phone is no longer your friend

 

[PP2]

Willkommen.

 

[Hyped]

LFG!!!

I am looking forward to seeing him on the field...I think he might be more of a receiving threat than Develin given what I think is his superior speed.

 

[micronin127]

Are we going to run the wishbone with 2 FBs? Or is Develin dinged up and needs a week?

Would love to see the running game start clicking.

Devlin is OUT
That's why J2 is on the 53

It will be more interesting what happens AFTER Develin comes back.

Johnson will return to the practice squad

 

[BradyFTW!]

I liked Johnson in the preseason, will be good to see how he stacks up in game reps.

 

[farn]

Eventually:

QB
5 OL
2 FB
2 RB
#11

...and then we chuckle as they push the ball downfield.

 

[SBLIII]

Johnson will return to the practice squad

IF nobody scoops him up.

 

[Mike the Brit]

Is he the only one of the "international" players to make it to a full roster?

EDIT: answer=yes

Dude can block remind me of Lorenzo Neal.

 

[mgteich]

he is our next man up. Few teams have fullbacks. We carry a backup on the Practice Squad. As a bonus, like Develin, Jakob can be an in-line TE, valuable since both LeCosse and Izzo are injured. Also, he plays ST's. Ebner is injured.
======
All this being said, we are unlikely to use 2 roster spots for fullbacks when Develin is healthy.
