Yeah. Answer the q...

Did Amini Silatolu just suddenly get badly injured or did they need a roster spot to bring someone else on board?

This time of year, probably more than half the roster has some kind of injury. Most of them don't need IR, but it's an option and GMs have s lot of discretion.

One thing you'll notice about years when Marty Hurney was GM. In down years, there sure seem to be a decent number of people on injured reserve. Igo's mentioned it too. Makes an awfully convenient excuse for a failed season.

Now, you can respond by telling me how great Marty is despite the fact that his winning percentage is terrible if you want, but I'm not really interested in that bullsh-t today.

I said good player. Putting Amini on IR won't give Hurney sympathy points.

Putting KK Short on there sure would..

In reality though, there could be any number of reasons why Short's not out at practice. Until we hear something, it's just kibitzing.

How will we ever replace the two tackles we're gonna miss now

How about instead of mindlessly quipping about Butler doing something we all know he won't, you actually hold the FO accountable for drafting him in the first place on top of giving guys like KK Short and Matt Kalil terrible contracts that are destroying our salary cap while we back our way into another losing season.

Luxury picks, and bad contracts blowing up in our faces are why we are currently in this predicament. We've been freefalling since 2016 after being the first team in NFL history to go from 15 wins to 6 in just one offseason.

Gettleman’s draft picks are looking pretty bad save for a few hits. Makes you wonder what scouts are still with the team and how much Rivera went along with what was ultimately Gettleman’s decisions. 

 

Edit: not to say Short was a bad pick. By all accounts Short has been a consistent top ten lineman who is obviously having a crap season.

Why worry about holding people who are no longer here accountable? Sounds like more of a waste of time than dreaming Butler might play good.

KK hasn't touched Brees in years so it's "inconsequential" he's out.

I think Gettleman listened to scouts, but he saw what he saw and made decisions. Ron couldn't say poo cause his ass was about to be fired. We go to the playoffs once Gettleman takes over so the dick jerking of Gettleman takes over and Gettleman head inflates. Do I fault Ron? Yes I do, you're the fuging head coach. There's supposed to be some compromise, but speak the fug up. I'll never fuging forget 2016 draft after Josh, we double dipped on corners in 2 and 3 and Gettleman just pranced around the draft room smiling like he's so much smarter than everyone and these motherfugers smiling too and giving him claps. Ron included. That poo pissed me off watching him destroy a superbowl team. Thats the number 1 reason why I want Ron gone. Gettleman got put out, Ron should have followed.

As far as Short goes he hasn't done poo since getting paid. The scouting report said he was inconsistent with no motor. He got paid and he's inconsistent with no motor. A lot of people go all out for the money. But you can get paid at a very high level and still produce
