After rewatching the game. Thank you Hollis for being a big giant, clogging the middle, center eating, have to be doubled with a guard, run stopping SOB. You didn't make the front four, you make the front four better.

Also thank you Charles Johnson. In 3 down lineman situations you played as well as any DT we have had in the last 3 years. Keep on bulking up. Keep getting those hands up.

Damione Lewis/Hayden. Keep playing hard. Nothing extraordinary but good solid play most of the day. Except on 2 running plays.

I am just wondering where in the hell this Hollis Thomas came from, and where in the hell he has been the last few years. He has always been pretty good his whole career but this guy is a revelation.

St. Louis didn't even want this guy, maybe that pissed him off enough to get him going. I don't know but I like it.

Two months ago, one month ago even, who'd have ever guessed a DL Appreciation Thread would appear? We thought that'd be our achilles heel the entire season. Props to Meeks, props to the individual players, and maybe - just maybe - props to the FO for resigning Pep? :eek:

Warner has one of the fastest releases in the NFL.. that said, next week the D-Line will have to get there even faster but at the same time keep contain. The Saints have the 3rd best running game. Our defense will have to perform at a high level. Our offense will have to keep it on the ground. I hope the Saints win tonight too.

Gee, wasn't it a month ago and everyone was criticizing Thomas for being worthless and over the hill. Even the guys from New Orleans were criticizing him. They forgot he was very good for them in 2007 before he got injured.

How come we don't see any more Shaun Smith threads? Anyone pick him up yet???

So much for the crappy front office who wants mediocrity and deliberately picks guys with little or no talent and overpays for them.:D

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
