It doesn't commute because it wasn't about our DT getting hurt.. The point he was making is quoted above.. Not because we lost Kemo...

What i was hinting was that we have lost our starting DT for the season that is a known fact. Both Davis and Beason have injuries that most likely want have them miss a single reg season game. So to me we dont need to waste our time, roster spot, or more seriously our limited cap space on a LB that will almost certainly not make the 53. I'm not to worried about it seeing as it it is still early but we need to start bring in some serious competition at the DT position. It would be a need even if we hadn't lost Kemo now it is a necessity. The longer we wait the less time said players have to learn our system and there teammates.

And its compute not commute.

Then what DT would you bring in? Not many A listers just hanging around.

1st of all, thanks for your stewardship on pointing out my typo.. Everyone here appreciates you helping them figure out what it was that I was saying. :)

2nd, I understand your concern with wanting to fill a Kemo replacement, but the article clearly mentions the CAMP FODDER is here for the LBers injured. So you're concern with roster spaces may be a little unwarranted.

The reason being...it has more to do with having a body there for the players to have someone to practice against... Beason and Davis are sitting out some, so it is important that they bring in someone to fill the void for the time being... It has nothing to do with the seriousness of their injuries...

I point this out because the DT situation is irrelevant to this guy coming in...

This guy will be brought in regardless of us finding a DT... and don't worry about roster spots. We aren't going to waste one on him. It'll be okay. :)

Once we find a guy in FA worth bringing in, I'm sure we will.. I would imagine they are trying to see who they have in the mean time.. But roster spots and cap space doesn't have anything to do with this guy in particular..

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
