Yeah, I think we need to sign this guy just on principle and take our chances with the whole headcase thing. Might help to have one of his former defensive line-mates here in Louis Leonard?

Either way, sign him and cross your fingers - we're in desperate enough need that it's a risk worth taking.

As I understand waivers, teams have to abide by the order of the previous year's finish. In that case we are one of the last teams...essentially at the end of the line. This means 20+ other teams have to pass these guys up in order to reach us in the waiver process.

I'm not sure that many players worth a flip will make it to us.

if so we have some headcases on the team already....cough cough steve smith

No dispute that we have some. You find a way to make it work if they bring elite talent AND you have a way of controlling the impact in the locker room. You don't take the chance for a marginal/mediocre talent.

They've got roster spots and need help at the DT position. The guy has an attitude but as others have said, he wouldn't be the first person on our team with one. Between Jon Beason calling out his teammates and Steve Smith assaulting them, the coaches might be able to handle the guy. Worst case we cut him and are back where we started.

Seriously, what are we going to do, go sign two more running backs to complete the roster? This move makes so much sense.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
