Football Deacs in the NFL

Good for Nick....a good guy
...

Steelers signed Nick Sciba to their practice squad. Boswell is questionable, so Sciba may kick vs. the Eagles on Sunday.

Boswell officially out.

 

[deactherunner]

Shame I have to root against Sciba in his first staty. Hope he gets another shot. Guess I can root for 42-15.

 

[Deaconblue]

Live game tryout for about half of NFL teams.

 

[deactherunner]

Sciba with an extra point. Might have scored a FG, but the Eagles committed a defensive delay of game.

 

[ipitytheblue]

38 yard fg for Nick!

 

[morrison2951]

It's good!

Sciba made good on his first FG attempt from 38 yds.

Romo said "the all-time NCAA leader finally getting a job in the NFL!"

[IAppreciateIt]

anyone know how nfl contracts work with regard to someone like sciba who might only be on the active roster for a single week?

Seems like worst case, Sciba would get the minimum divided by 18 weeks, which is just over $39k.

 

[PhDeac]

Pretty sure he got paid the practice squad rate then the rookie min game check.

 

[ipitytheblue]

Got another one

 

[PhDeac]

Looks like Sciba is doing kickoffs. No touchbacks and one out of bounds.

That sounds about right for him

Womp womp Greg Dortch

What happened?

 

[ipitytheblue]

Looks like 2 fumbles, one on KR and one on PR

 

[PhDeac]

Ouch. That’s why he didn’t make it in the league a few years ago.

box score says just one fumble

 

[Louis Gossett Jr]

Down two, muffs the punt, Vikings recover and score

 

[ipitytheblue]

box score says just one fumble

Ah, I was looking at the Score app. Perhaps it listed the same fumble in both categories
