    I have a feeling they will need those extra player this year, because of Covid-19.

    It'll be interesting to see if the XFL guys, who have some pro experience, are retained more than the guys fresh out of college. I guess the nail biting to see who makes the practice squad will be a little lessened since there will be no preseason games.

    I remember when the players went on strike and the NFL used replacement players. Buddy Ryan was the Eagles HC at the time. He constantly pointed out what the real Eagles record was with the regular guys even though the league counted all the games together with and without regulars. I have a feeling that people will talk similar about this upcoming season.

    Example: Steelers with all the starters are say 8-0 but 6-7 top tier players go "my corona" on us and the replacements suck and we lose last 8. We would forever have the what if factor.
