09/01 — GM Mike Tannenbaum and head coach Eric Mangini have announced the Jets' eight-man practice squad today. Here is the list of the eight players, all of whom spent time with the team in training camp, as released by the Jets' public relations department, along with height, weight, college and hometown:

WR Larry Brackins (6'4", 221/Pearl River CC/Dothan, AL)

RB Jehuu Caulcrick (6'0", 254/Michigan State/Findley Lake, NY)

OL Stanley Daniels (6'4", 320/Washington/San Diego, CA)

DB James Ihedigbo (6'1", 202/Massachusetts/Amherst, MA)

OL Matt McChesney (6'4", 307/Colorado/Santa Cruz, CA)

DE Ropati Pitoitua (6'8", 290/Washington State/Spanaway, WA)

WR Paul Raymond (5'10", 185/Brown, Miami, FL)

LB Brandon Renkart (6'2", 236/Rutgers, Piscataway, NJ)

 

No Bender??? Maybe he was signed elsewhere and i missed it

 

I don't think he was eligible. He played in a lot of games last year. Once a players is in a certain number of games, he can't go on the practice squad.

 

Bender was signed by the Pats I believe.

 

Bender is on the Patriots practice squad.

 

Really? I guess he had some eligibility left. I thought he was out on the field alot last year.

 

i thought if you took a player from another teams practice squad, you had to sign them to your 53 man roster??

 

You need to have 2 seasons to be ineligible for the practice squad. (i think appearances in 5 games in a single season counts as 1 season)

please correct me if i am wrong

 

He was never on our practice squad.

 

Does that mean Kareem Brown is on the active roster or is he gone?

 

Thanks. So when a player is cut and multiple teams want him on their practice squad, how is it determined what team gets him on their practice squad? i'm assuming that we wanted Bender on our PS too, so why did the PATS get 1st choice? or is it the player's choice?

 

Yes Sir!!!!!

 

I'm glad to see Jehuu Caulcrick is on the PS, I believe the kid has a future in the NFL.

 

It's five games being on an Active List or Inactive List or on IR or Reserve/PUP.

 

Brackins is the one intetesting name on the list. The CS must have seen something in him over the last few days to suggest he might be NFL material. Especially since we have 7 WR on the team now.

 

Caulcrick was obvious given we have only 2 RB on the roster.

Renkart, Pitoitua and Raymond all looked good during at least some game in the preseason. So having them on the PS is no surprise.

 

he could sign with whomever he wants

Here's the list of this season's first practice squadders, courtesy of newyorkjets.com.

WR Larry Brackins (6'4", 221/Pearl River CC/Dothan, AL)

Brackins was just recently signed after his Arena league season ended. He has size and speed, and the Jets obviously think enough about him to keep him around, so this is interesting.

RB Jehuu Caulcrick (6'0", 254/Michigan State/Findley Lake, NY)

No surprises here. Caulcrick is a huge fullback who is good in short yardage. He's working on his blocking and receiving, but he has NFL ability and desire.

OL Stanley Daniels (6'4", 320/Washington/San Diego, CA)

Spent time in both Rams and Jets camp last offseason. A workable body in camp who can possibly challenge for a backup role.

DB James Ihedigbo (6'1", 202/Massachusetts/Amherst, MA)

Ihedigbo is a high energy safety who will make his share of both great plays and boneheaded plays. Stands out when he plays, for good or for bad, so it's worthwhile to keep him around.

OL Matt McChesney (6'4", 307/Colorado/Santa Cruz, CA)

McChesney is a converted defensive lineman who the Jets have liked for years. He was first in Hofstra in 2005, playing one game at defensive line, recording one tackle and one QB pressure.

DE Ropati Pitoitua (6'8", 290/Washington State/Spanaway, WA)

Pitoitua is a hulking defensive lineman whom the Jets hope to develop into a possible rotational player.

WR Paul Raymond (5'10", 185/Brown, Miami, FL)

Raymond turned heads in camp with his speed, but he drew the ire of Jets fans by dropping a gamewinning pass in the endzone against Washington. The former Ivy Leaguer made up for it with his play in the next game. The Jets have nine receivers on their roster.

LB Brandon Renkart (6'2", 236/Rutgers, Piscataway, NJ)

Renkart is a smart, somewhat athletic two-year starter at Rutgers. He sounds like a player Eric Mangini would love: smart, versatile, and coachable.
