Chris Ogbonnaya Waived Again

[PandaPancake]

Why did I open this? Back to Tube Galore

[Mr. Scot]

What the hell is Tube Gal...eeehhh, nevermind.  I don't need to know

[CatMan72]

Needed another body at DT with Star out, this really isn't complicated.

This new guy will be 5th on the depth chart. How about a fuging safety that could be 2nd on the depth chart? Or first?

Find me a quality safety that would start that is worth bringing in 11 weeks in the season and I'll agree with you. There is a reason why most FA who are unsigned at week 11 stay that way. Let alone let them learn the system, the play calls, the roles of their spot. It just doesn't make sense. Week 2-4 sure, but not 11 weeks in.

Instead of pretending like this is somehow a sign of how bad our front office is. Just say "I'm mad at everything".

Don Jones, 2nd year safety that is now with the Dolphins (again). The Patriots cut him a few days ago because they have no need at the position and because he was late to meetings, etc. Before that the Dolphins cut him because of a twitter post after Michael Sam was drafted. Very talented player that has some disciplinary issues but is way way way better than what we have.

So bring in a player/try and sign (after he cleared waivers its his choice where he goes) that has had disciplinary problems, late to meetings into a locker room that has had reports of being no great this year?

I know stats aren't everything but he has a a staggering tackle total of 13, and 1 forced fumble. Has registered 0 total starts in two and a half years. I'd rather roll with Colin Jones and what we have then have another project try and learn our playbook with only 5 weeks to go.

Your opinion. If I were coach I'd bring in the most talented players available at each position of need and have them compete. That DT we signed won't be active and will never be a significant player for us because we're so deep at DT. A safety we bring in could turn into a decent player and would be immediately better on the field than what we have.

I would likely say chances are that if he did sign he would have the same odds that the DT would have to produce. We aren't as "deep" on the dline as people say especially on DT since Star is hurt, our starting rotation is Short, Edwards, and Cole. Does that scream high end especially with two of those DTs are over the age of 30? It makes sense to bring that DT up especially since he was on our PS and has learned the system. Will he get a jersey on sunday? Who knows.

[Mr. Scot]

Won't be back this time.  The Giants signed him.

 

Word also that the Colts have signed Andrew McDonald and the Bengals finally gave Eric Winston a job.

 

Also saw that this time nobody bothered to claim Loucheiz Purifoy on waivers.

[MHS831]

I think it's more about a clear troubling trend of ineptness and basically throwing poo at the wall to see if anything sticks.

This.  It is desperate and embarrassing.  Rivera is doing something because he needs to do something.

[ThPantherFan]

Bringing guys up from the PS isn't magic either, Montsta.

 

No, it's not magic.  You put people on the practice squad that show some talent.  In a year like this why not bring them up to see what they can do.  Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[LawCat]

Let the "youth movement" begin. There's always next year huddlers.
