[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 785315"] [B]Waters:[/B] Follow this logic. You need that 6th. CB on the roster or the PS. With 2 CB injuries you can't even run a 4-corner dime. Rollins goes to IR, the #6 spot spot falls to Waters by default. You'd like to upgrade from Waters but he's the best you've got at the moment. You don't even know if he'd want to stay in GB if you cut him and he gets another PS offer where he'd have a better chance to play. So, Waters is a placeholder that you'd like to upgrade after cut downs but you're not entirely certain if you can. Cut downs come. Waivers clear. You like Troy Brown (and maybe some other guys) better that Waters. You sign Brown because he's the best of the many option that agrees to be on the Packer PS among the competing offers, if any. Why not put him on the active roster? I expect one factor is King is ready to go, even if not 100% or even held out in week 1, but could come in if an emergency arises. Or you reckon you can get through the balance of a game with a 3 safety dime in an emergency. You don't need Brown right now, and since he cleared waivers and signed with you there's confidence he'll not be signed away to somebody else's active roster. Hey, after a week or two of practice you may decide he's not what you expected or a guy you like better becomes available and the PS merry-go-round continues. You have to start with the idea that the 53 man roster is not necessarily your 53 best players, nor is the 53+PS your 63 best players. Besides developmental players you like, or even protect on the 53, you have to cover multiple injuries at a position with certain PS players. While an emergency situation may arise during a game with a 46 man roster where you have to make do, you do not want to be scrambling the following week. [B]Boyle:[/B] First of all, he looked pretty good early in the KC game with second stringers. Then he's out there with 3rd. stringers throwing the ball all over the yard trying to make something happen. Maybe he was encouraged to do so, a test of him or others, or maybe he was told afterward, "It may be preseason but don't do that again". Now, there are up to 96 QB jobs to be filled.
