what would make you think that leonard and boone are capable of keeping blockers off them.?

not saying they cant.but Boone is old and past his prime.played on a team that got ran on.Leonard is unproven and prob would have gotten cut anyway..

Because by sending a late pick their way for Leonard, we didn't have to wait and didn't have to bid. We got a big guy whose shown some decent flashes into camp, ASAP.

He probably won't be as good as Kemo, but he'll probably be decent enough to stem the bleeding quite a bit.

Good find!!! Thats kinda what I was thinking as well. I'd bet they may make the move if no one else is available after cuts. I think we should be able to find someone a little younger that has some playing time under their belt as well. My dark horse is someone released from the Patriots, they drafted 3 DT's this season so I would expect someone to get released there. Green Bay also has a lot of beef as well.

the biggest reason we stunk up the joint last year on D was b/c of our one dimensional DTs.....Fox needs DTs who are solid in pass rushing for his schemes to work.......it is really tough to get excited about bringing in sub par scrubs who specialty is being somewhat good against the run. Fox needed to bring someone who could do what Kemo couldn't do (and that was before the injury)......now are focus is on bringing in a crappier version of Kemo.

Someone had to say it. Kemo took up space but interior pressure has been minimal from anyone.

I think that if on your football team, Kemo gets hurt and your defense is now collapsing around you.....then you had bigger problems. The Giants lost Osi and their pressure was still devastating. We traded Jenkins last season and still have not made real strides on replacing him through free-agency or the draft. Of course the Maxxed out cap hurts the FA route.

The raiders

Despite reports that he was signing in Carolina, free agent DT Alfonso Boone is scheduled to meet with the Raiders.

Perhaps the Panthers weren't sold on a player junked by the Chiefs? Oakland is expected to offer him a contract and are now considered the favorites to sign the run-stopping tackle.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
