Fair enough.Agree to disagree, lol. I know I'll feel much better about our line if Eich gets replaced.

I think the backup center will be on the practice squad. Eich, maybe Driscoll will be emergency backups to finish out a game if Brewer goes out. They won't rotate center and centers don't play on ST so it would be an extravagant use of a roster spot. And we have lots of other positions where the team tends to carry extras (DT this year, Edge once all are healthy, RB if you count the FB, CB due to their ST prowess).I hope he proves himself worthy and makes the roster. With 4 backups, you can have two who are primarily OT, but capable of sliding inside too, and one who can cover the guards. That leaves a spot for a dedicated #2 center.

Yeah, been watching and reading on Meyer - He's technically sound, decent feet, good snaps. Should be a decent zone blocker, well schooled. UTep runs a quick read passing game. On the downside he's small, and lacks strength and power. We need to be grasping anywhere for a backup center, IMO.I hope he proves himself worthy and makes the roster.

No he wasn't professional NRL palayer, he was offered an under 20 contract to play with a feeder club. That's when he switched to football.Correct. However, Jordan Mailata was a professional rugby league player with the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Eagles scouts found a very big man with good footwork, excellent character and an established desire to succeed.
Duck is getting all the UDFA corner love but over half of it seems to be due to his unusual name. Watch some Isaiah Johnson playing corner and tell me he isn't better.Duck and Perry have the best chance IMO. Miami does a really impressive job of finding DB's late such as Kohou, Needam and Bonner. There is room on the roster for a safety.
Rucci has a chance simply because the tight end room doesn't have a lot of talent and he can block.
Meyer and Jones probably end up on the practice squad and could potentially help down the road.
Matos is intriguing.
I'm really pulling for Isaiah Johnson to make the roster for his ability alone.I'm really pulling for Storm Duck to make to roster for the name alone
CB or S?I'm really pulling for Isaiah Johnson to make the roster for his ability alone.
6'3 and 205 with long 32 7/8" arms, 80.5" wingspan, and a 6.71 cone, 38.5" VJ. I'd try him first at his college position, corner. Though he only ran a 4.62 forty which probably kept him from being drafted. Could be interchangeable.CB or S?
Where do you see him settling?
