I was thinking about this in relation to Kevin Alexander and Jammie Kirlew. We haven't seen much of either player since the first preseason game. I've noticed #53 (Kirlew) on Special Teams only.
I know we have fourteen players listed as some sort of Linebacker. Counting out Dumervil and Reid because of injury, that leaves 12 players trying to make an impact. Not seeing certain players might mean they're so far down the depth chart that they can't see the field on game day. But both Kirlew and Alexander made positive plays in the first preseason game. Might it be that McDaniels wants these guys on the Practice Squad, and he doesn't want to give other teams much film to study? Do you not play a player in preseason games because you think you might be able to sneak him on the Practice Squad if he clears waivers? Just curious if anyone has any insights on this.
