The #Lions are signing OL Kayode Awosika off the #Eagles’ practice squad. Undrafted free agent last year, Awosika has played both guard and tackle in Philly.
Wait, aren’t you supposed to poach players off of a practice squad, the week before you play them? This is some 3 dimensional chess Holmes and Campbell are playing.
This is definitely next level leadership from Campbell. Some coaches like to say “we don’t worry about what they are doing, we need to worry about what we are doing!” Campbell is putting his money where his mouth is by picking up practice squad players from the previous weeks team. The new guy will be tasked with telling the group how the previous weeks gameplan worked out…from the perspective of the team that just beat us!
So who are all of the Nigerians on the roster now. I can name Levi, Jefe and AO off the top of my head. Who else comes to mind? I think we had 6 at one point.
There is a specific rule against that. I think you can’t get PS players from a team you play in the next 3 week. Not sure if that was a joke but thought I’d put the rule in just in case :-).
A team can sign a player from their next upcoming opponent’s practice squad, but it must be done six days before the game, or 10 days if it is during the bye week
