Sign of weakness

I took one quick look at what's gone down and I no longer know anyone who plays for any team

Take it for FWIW but a friend of mine is also friends with Andy Weidl. Weidl told him a couple days after the draft that they picked Hurts because they were already concerned that Wentz was just too injury prone. The whole idea that he was drafted to simply be a backup was always just spin for Wentz's sake.

I absolutely believe this. That org does plan things out that well.

Damn bro. Darrell Green was still running 4.4 40s at 50 years old and retired for 6 years.

Even more fun, because it's just too much information in a short time and the season is 6 months away, I will have forgotten about a large number of these signings and be super surprised in September again, haha,.

Would be nice if the Bucs signed someone that wasn't their own guys

I think they had to sign someone cuz I saw a tweet that the Cowboys were the only team yet to sign a FA from ANOTHER team.

f*** NO

Of course. It was always BS. And that’s my worry - bringing Fields in is code for “we don’t believe in you that much anymore”

And if that’s how they feel - fine - but I feel it is a big mistake to send that message as you’re about to clearly compete this year.

My hunch on him was a lot better than Bryan Edwards. Whoops.

Sad dynasty noises

Damn, are we sure Hurts could handle this?

Someone is going to have to explain to me what happened to Howie. Is this a midlife crisis? Do we know if he bought a Corvette?

Counting on rookie LBers is risky too.

For sure. But at least it’s less risky when the guy you draft actually played Linebacker instead of, oh I don’t know, only Overhang becaus he can’t read the flow of play in the PAC 12.

 

[Flybynite]

Lol. NFL/NBA punishing Philly teams for "early contact" done by EVERY other team

I'm wondering if this is Howie being responsive to other people in the organization telling him, with implicit consequences attached, that he needs to remember that there are 11 players on defense at any given time, not 7.
