OT Remmers Signed. Lester Bumped to Active Roster. Darrin Reaves Released. Chase Blackburn to IR.

Gettleman must really like Remmers to have signed him to a two year deal...

[KillerKat]

lol I knew we would sign some loser at tackle that really wouldn't help us. This is his 6th team in 2 years. We now have 11 OL on the active roster. Can't remember when we've ever had that many before.

[Paa Langfart]

Oh, I thought he could be activated at anytime following week 9 for some reason, lol.

 

 

That is what I thought as well.

[Paa Langfart]

So who the fug is this Remmers guy? Anybody know anything about him?

 

 

Remmers was a Rams practice squad guy - still listed on their site  as a 2 year guy from oregon state 6 5 and 300 lbs.

So what you'd rather them do nothing? It's part of the job.

I'd rather then do something in March, but most here kept preaching "it's just March". Truth is we knew in March that the oline was garbage, hasn't changed. I knew two years ago that Bell wasn't a starting tackle, that hasn't changed either.

Right now...

The UNC homer is strong in this one. At least Lester makes the play to deal the win instead of flopping like a damn mahi on the boat deck.

No.  I just know that Boston has a ton of more potential than Lester does.  Boston is a great athlete...  He's also coming off of a series of injuries as a rookie, so sorry, I'm not surprised that he made a mistake.  It's better than leaving guys like Godrey, Harper, or Decoud who have no excuse.

Actually, we're both wrong.

Starting in 2012, the NFL and the NFLPA reached an agreement allowing one player placed on injured reserve to be brought back to the active roster.[3] Provided that the player was on the final 53-man preseason roster (A rule exempted for the 2012 season), and that the injury is deemed to keep this player unable to practice or play football for an estimated six weeks, the player may be allowed to practice after Week 6, and be activated to play after Week 8.[4]

He has to miss 7 weeks from the time he was placed on IR/Designated to Return. So that's Weeks 6-12.

Last time Lester played for us, he was worse than Boston.

i don't think many around here thought the line was going to be good.  it's been a hot topic since as long as bell has been on the team.

ESPN David Newton said that the Remmers is actually playing RG despite being listed as an OT.

Potential doesn't do crap for now. We need to win now if we want to win the NFC south.
