Per Gantt tweet.

LB Jon Beason: Team "definitely needs to get a veteran guy" at defensive tackle.

If he is saying this, then we really have a problem. Nick Hayden, the NFL's first anorexic DT, is not cutting it. Once he turns sideways he disappears and Beason is engulfed in blockers.

there is little doubt that the rest of the team feels that way. it's very apparent.

hayden may have moved up but you can tell that when he lost weight that stepping in kemo's role was not something that he anticipated. comments that he has made about it were that he didn't think of himself as a NT and was more trying for the 3 tech which is what he felt more comfortable with.

apart from him we have only undrafted rookies, really. bodies barely big enough to fit the job compared to what we are used to. as it was we needed more depth there and were only able to get those UDFAs. for depth it wasn't ideal but serviceable. to have to rely on them for starting...yikes. i think we have big guys that are worth roster spots but not starting material.

we need a big guy in the middle for rushing downs. we can do without him for passing downs but we need that big run stuffer. finding someone on the team who doesn't agree with that would be tough to do. this isn't about morale...it's about making sure we have the best possible team going forward this year. kemo left a big hole. it's going to take someone big to fill it that isn't here.

Rayzor, I don't think we need to limit ourselves to run-stuffers. Meeks played without one in Indy, and he's been lining up one-gappers in Kemo's place since the injury.

There's time to find someone who can help. No one out there right now is worth a damn anyway.

Well, he is just speaking the truth.

You don't see Broncos players telling the press, yeah we need definitely need to find a better quarterback. The one we have now just blows. These kinda comments should stay on the inside. Going out to the media crying for help isn't going to help any.

He didn't say anyone sucked. He, along with everyone else, just thinks the young guys are not ready yet and we need a veteran.

      Panthers activate G Chandler Zavala from IR

      By Waldo · Posted

      Zavala was really bad his first year but I think he can still flash that unfortunately. Coaching? IDK. Inconvenience seems to be common.  Moton should just have played the year out to see what's what or they should have replaced him, whixh is a tall order for a team with so much else needing done. I just thought the reworked deal was dumb. Get cap but create another issue later. Just eat it and move on. I do think they were trying to create space for someone else but that's also a huge negative for me because the 'one player away mentality' has always been a failure that I can remember. Corbett was a known health issue, a waste of roster space really. BC has had a fractured ankle and a torn bicep so he isn't a huge shocker either, unlucky or injury prone at this point? Add in Moton and that unit was always suspect. Having both high priced OGs dealing with injuries 1 year removed from their big deals just seems like the chefs kiss to that entire build. So 2 known injury issues with starters, a backup that's probably injury prone now, Mays and then nobodies. I don't think I can call that decent depth, especially considering the 2 known starter issues coming into the year.

      Just imagine how great it will be when they eventually expand the playoff to 24 teams, or more. There will still only be 3 or 4 teams that have a real chance of winning the national championship, but the money-making opportunity will be too irresistible.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      Trading Hubbard should be a decision made based on the "future" of the team. If they deem Rico a wiser investment, long term, Hubbard is expendable. If they deem Hubbard the wiser investment, long term, Rico is expendable. That doesn't mean they should have a price that is less than acceptable, however.
