It sure does feel good to finally have a GM who sees a weakness, like we do, and he goes out and gets a guy to fix it or just gets rid of the weakness for value.

It is so refreshing to have a guy who, when national reports come out about a player being available that could improve our team, we know will have us in the mix for him.  I dont think we've ever been one of those teams.  Our previous GMs were so incestuous/neptotistic they rarely ever looked for outside help and it feels ike even if they did, players felt we were such a poorly run organization it would hardly ever pan out.

Fit is different.  Tepper needs to slide his brass balls statue over to Fit's office.

I wish we would get away from bringing in so many Temple/Baylor guys though.   Probably got close to a dozen of them right now.

I agree..  but if they can play, they can play.  Pretty sure thats gonna be taken care of on final cuts.  I expect maybe 5 or less on the active 53.  Off the top of my head, Reddick is a baller no matter where he played, and I really like Sam Franklin's potential.  Other than that, most of his other college guys can gtfo.

More I look at this kicker….the more I think it is just a motivational ploy and Slye is the guy. 

new kicker has never made a NFL FG.  Last kick he made was back in 2015….where he had a worse FG % in college than Syle does in the pros.  And Syle has circus kicks impacting his %.

Maybe he's there to literally scare him?  Have you seen the size of that dude?

Time and distance from Rhule’s tenure there will stop that. As for now, if you have to fill out the bottom of the roster with JAGs, go with the JAGs you know. At the very least, we’ll know that they’ll be good locker room guys.

only thing I can think of in regards to the kicker….is maybe he is an intended PS stash for covid? 

he is one of those rare guys who punts and kicks.  So if our P or K had a covid issue they  have one guy they could insert either way for a week.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
