Damn that’s an impressive list. I haven’t done any research but have we ever had that many at once before?

Unfortunately I won’t be watching any of them. I am done with professional sports. A bunch of overpaid idiots who have bought into a false narrative or are afraid to speak up. Look at what happened to Drew Brees. poop had to backtrack the next day to save his ass.

I haven’t watched a single MLB or NBA game this season and have found better ways to spend my time.

Week 1 update:

Josh Allen:
Allen's Bills easily handled the Jets 27-17
Stats: 33-46 312 yards 2 TD 14 carries 57 yards 1 TD
Lost two fumbles, but had his first 300 yard passing game of his career.


Marcus Epps:
Epps' Eagles lost to Washington 17-27
Stats: 2 solo tackles 1 pass defended
Epps did not start, but had a decent stat line in the loss

Austin Fort:
On season-ending IR again this season with another knee injury

Rico Gafford:
Recorded no stats in the Raiders 34-30 win over the Panthers

Tashaun Gipson:
Got the start as the Bears staged a great comeback over the Lions, winning 27-23
Stats: 5 solo tackles 2 assisted tackles

Carl Granderson:
Granderson's Saints took down the Bucs 34-23
Stats: 2 solo tackles 1 forced fumble
Carl got his first sack of the season on Tom Brady, and it was a strip sack!


Tyler Hall & Brian Hill:
Hall was signed to the Falcons practice squad

Hill had 3 carries for 12 yards in the Falcons 25-38 loss to the Seahawks
Brian looks to be the #2 back behind Todd Gurley in Atlanta

Jacob Hollister:
Hollister was on the winning end of the 38-25 game vs. Hill's Falcons
Stats: 1 reception 9 yards
Hollister caught his lone target. He is in a crowded TE room in Seattle, where Greg Olsen is the clear starter.

Caash Maluia:
Maluia recorded no stats in the Patriots 21-11 win over the Dolphins

Tyree Mayfield & Mark Nzeocha:
Mayfield and Nzeocha borth recorded no stats in the 49ers 20-24 loss to the Cardinals

Mike Purcell:
Purcell's Broncos fell to the Titans 14-16
Stats: 4 solo tackles 1 assisted tackle
Purcell got the start and did a great job plugging up Derrick Henry. Got a nice shout out at the beginning of the game for being a key piece of Denver's run defense.

Chase Roullier:
Roullier enters the season entrenched as the starter at center for the Washington Football Team. He had no penalties in the team's 27-17 win over the Eagles

Logan Wilson:
Wilson's Bengals fell to the Chargers 13-16
Stats: 3 solo tackles
Logan only played in 30 percent of the defensive snaps, but looked good in his NFL debut

Andrew Wingard:
Wingard's Jaguars beat the Colts 27-20
Stats: 2 solo tackles 1 pass defended 1 interception
Wingard had a HUGE interception in the 4th quarter that sealed the game for the Jags


Eddie Yarbrough:
Yarbrough's Vikings lost a shootout to the Packers 34-43
Stats: 2 solo tackles 1 QB hit
Eddie didn't get the start, but definitely contributed. Didn't have a great day according to Pro Football Focus, though.


I'll keep this list updated throughout the season. This will mostly likely be the only time I'll post about Fort and Hall, unless they get called back.

[EDIT] Updated for Mike Purcell, added tweets and edited descriptions for Carl, Josh, and Eddie.

You are a worthy successor.

It's amazing to see this many in the NFL. Even more amazing to to know that there are that many NFLers and not a single CFLer. (And I know there will be XFLers if that league gets to continue...) Weird (but in a good way).

Thanks for the updates. It’s a nitpick but has been driving me crazy after seeing it twice now.

It’s Wingard.

Week 3 update:

Josh Allen:
Allen led a 4th quarter comeback as his Bills took down the Rams 35-32
Stats: 24/33 311 yards 4 TD 1 INT 4 carries 8 yards 1 TD 1 fumble lost
It's still early, but Josh is looking like a legitimate MVP candidate


Marcus Epps:
Epps and the Eagles tied with the Logan Wilson's Bengals 23 all
Stats: 1 solo tackle 1 pass defended
BIG pass breakup from Epps to keep the game close in the 4th quarter


Rico Gafford:
The Raiders couldn't put it all together against Maluia's Patriots, falling 20-36
Rico recorded no stats in the loss

Tashaun Gipson:
The Bears beat Brian Hill's Falcons in an exciting 30-26 win
Stats: 4 solo tackles 2 assisted tackles 1 pass defended 1 INT
Tashaun's interception sealed the win for the Falcons late in the 4th quarter


Carl Granderson:
The Saints lost their 2nd in a row, coming up short against the Packers 30-37
Stats: 1 pass defended
Carl isn't getting a ton of snaps, but he is putting up stats when he has the opportunity

Brian Hill:
The Falcons lost a heart breaker to Gipson and the Bears 26-30
Stats: 9 carries 58 yards 1 TD 1 catch 22 yards
Easily Brian's best game as a pro so far. Gurley is injury prone, so we may be seeing more and more of Hill this season


Jacob Hollister:
The Seahawks beat the Cowboys 38-31
Stats: 1 catch 1 TD
Seattle has a crowded TE room, but Hollister seems to be a favorite target of Russel Wilson in the red zone


Caash Maluia:
The Patriots got it done against Rico and the Raiders 36-20
Caash recorded no stats in the win

Mark Nzeocha:
The 49ers curbstomped the Giants 36-9
Nzeocha recorded no stats in the win

Mike Purcell:
The Broncos lost their third straight game, falling 10-28 to the Bucs
Stats: 1 solo tackle 1 assisted tackle
Broncos radio gave Purcell (and UW) a shout out during the broadcast for being a mainstay on the d-line. He may not put up big numbers, but he is definitely valued in Denver.

Chase Roullier:
Washington fell to the Browns 20-34
Roullier had a nice play pushing the pile into the endzone for a score. He'll be the starter in DC for a long time.

Logan Wilson:
The Bengals tied Epps and the Eagles 23-23
Stats: 5 solo tackles 1 pass defended 1 INT
First career interception! Logan is getting the most defensive snaps of any rookie on the Bengals.


Andrew Wingard:
The Jaguars fell to the Dolphins 13-31
Stats: 3 solo tackles
Dewey got the start again, but left the game right before halftime with a groin injury. He should play this week.


Eddie Yarbrough:
The Vikings lost a close one to the Titans 30-31
Eddie recorded no stats in the loss

Unlike last week, this was a big one for the former Pokes. Great to see them putting up highlights!

Week 4 update:

Josh Allen:
Allen and the Bills beat Rico's Raiders 30-23
Stats: 24-34 288 yards 2 TD 3 carries -1 yard 1 TD
Another week, another win. First sub 300 yard game for Josh this year, but they still got the win. First 4-0 start for the Bills since 2008. He is also the first player in NFL history to record 12 passing TDs and 3 rushing TDs in the first 4 games of a season.


Marcus Epps:
Epps' Eagles shut down Nzeocha's 49ers 25-20
Stats: 4 solo tackes 4 assisted tackles
Epps got the start and put up solid numbers in the win

Rico Gafford:
The Raiders fell to Allen and the Bills 23-30
Rico was out with an injury

Tashaun Gipson:
The Bears couldn't quite get it done against the Colts, losing 11-19
Stats: 8 solo tackles 1 assisted tackle 1 pass defended
Gipson is looking like one of the better players on the Bears this season

Carl Granderson:
The Saints got back into the win column after beating the Lions 35-29
Stats: 1 assisted tackle
Carl is starting to get more and more snaps. In for 44% of defensive plays and 64% of special teams plays this week.

Brian Hill:
The Falcons lost to the Packers 16-30 on Monday night.
Stats: 4 carries 10 yards 2 catches 13 yards
Quiet game for Hill on Monday

Jacob Hollister:
The Seahawks move to 4-0 after beating the Dolphins 31-23
No stats recorded
Hollister recovered a late onside kick by the Dolphins to help seal the win

Cassh Maluia:
The Patriots didn't look great with Brian Hoyer under center, losing to the Chiefs 10-26
Cassh recorded no stats in the loss

Mark Nzeocha:
The 49ers couldn't get it done against Epps and the Eagles, losing 20-25
Nzeocha was placed on the 4 game IR list with a quad strain

Mike Purcell:
The Broncos finally broke into the win column against the hapless Jets, 37-28
Stats: 2 solo tackles 2 assisted tackles


Chase Roullier:
The Ravens beat Washington 31-17
So far this year Chase is tied for 8th among centers with 271 snaps. He currently only has 2 penalties this season and has allowed 0 sacks.

Logan Wilson:
The Bengals got their first win of the season against Dewey and the Jaguars 33-25
Logan was in concussion protocol this week and did not play

Andrew Wingard:
The Jaguars lost again, falling 25-33 against the Bengals
Stats: 5 solo tackles 5 assisted tackles 1 pass defended
Wingard was starting again. Unfortunately his numbers are inflated because the Jags are a really bad team.

Eddie Yarbrough:
The Vikings beat the Texans 31-23
Yarbrough was inactive this week

Too bad Logan had to sit out. If he played there would have been a Natrona grad on each side of Bengals vs Jags (Taven Bryan)

Epps, unfortunately, is the subject of memes this week as the 49er receiver jumped right over the top of him for a TD as Epps was diving for a tackle.

Week 5 update:

Josh Allen:
The Bills lost their first game of the season 16-42 against the Titans
Stats: 26/41 263 yards 2 TD 2 INT 4 carries 18 yards
Turnovers killed the Bills in this one. Josh had two of the three that Buffalo gave up. The first pick wasn't his fault, but the second one was brutal.


Marcus Epps:
Marcus and the Eagles couldn't hold on against Pittsburgh, losing 29-38
Stats: 1 pass defended
Epps got the start again, but didn't do much on the stat sheet

Rico Gafford:
The Raiders handed the Chiefs their first loss of the season 40-32
Rico was back from injury, but did not record any stats

Tashaun Gipson:
Gipson and the Bears took down the Bucs 20-19
Stats: 4 solo tackles
Tashaun keeps on being one of the best pro Pokes


Carl Granderson:
The Saints beat the Chargers on Monday night 30-27
Granderson recorded no stats for the first time this season
On a side note: Carl is MASSIVE these days. For the record, he was 6'5" 188 pounds when he committed to the Pokes. Now he's listed at 261.

Tyler Hall
Hall got called up from the practice squad and was part of the 16-23 loss to the Panthers
Stats: 2 assisted tackles
Tyler saw his first action of the season

Brian Hill:
Hill and the Falcons lost the the Panthers last night 16-23
Stats: 6 carries 39 yards 2 catches 15 yards
Brian is entrenched as the #2 back in Atlanta. Gurley has been fragile over the past few years, so we should expect to see more of Hill soon.

Jacob Hollister:
The Seahawks squeaked out a win over the Vikings 27-26
No stats recorded

Cassh Maluia:
The Patriots game against the Broncos got pushed back a week due to COVID
There are rumblings of a week 18 in the NFL this year due to all of the postponements

Mark Nzeocha:
Nzeocha is on IR until week 9

Mike Purcell:
The Broncos/Patriots game has been pushed to week 6

Chase Roullier:
The Football Team lost to the Rams 10-30
Nothing to report on Chase, which is good news for a center.

Logan Wilson:
The Bengals got stomped by the Ravens 3-27
Stats: 1 assisted tackle 1 INT
Logan is currently pacing the Bengals with 2 picks on the year. He also played his most snaps so far this season in the game.


Andrew Wingard:
The Jaguars lost again, falling 14-30 against the Texans
Stats: 1 assisted tackle
Dewey left the game with a core muscle injury and could not return

Eddie Yarbrough:
Eddie was cut by the Vikings on Saturday. Will report again when he gets picked up.

Yeah, the Bills offense, as potent as it is, still needs that go to RB and reliable TE.

But the defense has been suspect (at the very best) since week 1. And with even the best of offenses sometimes having off games, that's when the defense needs to hold its own. That did not. Even without the injuries, the defense has had a lot of issues, and most of it begins up front. No real pressure on opposing QBs, no contain, the LBs are out of position, etc.
