I know they are either old or very fresh faced, but maybe they could step in quicker with already knowing the defense?

Do either of those 3 PS players make you feel good about their ability to help the Jags stop the run?  I didn't focus on the Jaguars preseason so I can't speak knowledgeably about them.

Are they good, yet hidden by Jacksonville on the PS? Goalline situations? Run game? Push up the middle?

SIZE?

Protip: go to google, type "Jaguars 2022 practice squad", and well, there ya go for the bolded

Spoiler: they're all 6'3" or so and 300lbs plus (IIRC perters is closer to 330, and closest to NT type of the 3)

I don't know that they give me any less confidence than signing a dude off the street who may or may not be in shape, familiar with our schemes, etc. Or, better said, I don't see it as my duty to differentiate between name recognition and past performance vs. evaluating the guys they see in practice every day. I trust the decision makers to make the wise move. (remember when everyone fretted over us cutting Gotsis?)
