i dont understand why we signed yet another DE to the active roster. Now we have Mario Williams, Antonio Smith, Connor Barwin, Tim Jamison, Tim Bullman and now Jesse Nading. Why not bring up running backs Arian Foster or Chris Henry to give them some carries?????

Nading brought up for special teams play... Lost Casey & now JD is full time TE & LS... No more ST duties for JD for now

Jessie Nading will be replacing Joel Dressen on all special team plays unless Joel is snapping so all kickoff return and kickoffs.

i read that dreessen won't give up his long snapping duties but with all of our running back issues why not bring up Henry or Foster just to shake things up?

My guess would be they are not showing more than the current 3 on the roster. With Moats possibly starting I highly doubt Kubes would allow us to suit up 3 RBs that did not give us the best chance to win.

What running back issues do we have, we have 3 healthy capable running backs they all have proven themselves to be great runners and solid receivers. they each have a special talent better than the others but we don't need a 4th RB to sit on a bench

Because Jesse Nading is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Jesse, go rip some heads off.:D

i wouldn't mind them bringing up foster and seeing what he could do, but we also don't necessarily need him. We have three backs who all have done some good things, but who all have weaknesses. Slaton obviously has the fumble issue, Brown is best in pass protection but isn't a good receiver and isn't exactly a great short yardage guy, and moats is very versatile, but is probably the third best in pass protection, not bad but not great either
