Week 5 assignments, 2021

[zebrablog]

OK, no crews yet, but there is a small bit of news regarding the two London games. Since there are logistical hurdles to replace a crew member in London, they will be sending an alternate official across the pond, and it seems this would be the first instance of a regular season alternate.

So can we make the assumption that Boger will have the bye week next week since Zimmer is on his crew...

Zimmer is London Week 6 not next week. There are 4 teams on bye Week 6 so 3 crews will be off, Boger's probably being one.

Or potentially one of the swing officials works with Boger's crew.

Interesting that they're sending a DJ as an alternate Week 5 since they're down one until at least Week 7(Stephan).

If there are any domestic games that require a substitute at any of the line of scrimmage positions, then someone will have to pull Thursday-Sunday or Sunday-Monday duty.

The London assignments are handled early in the summer so that everyone can get their arrangements handled including passports. The fact that they lost Stephan came too late to make that change with the other cascading logistics.
