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.

      I see the issues with Tyreek, which is why I put an asterisk on him and all the way on the bottom. I don't even see him playing at all this entire year since he hasn't even been seen working out at all. But I do not think he's as hard to play with as Stefon Diggs is IMO and Tyreek is more of a game changer. But either way, it's pie in the sky.  Always loved Keenan and he is from the Carolinas so that's really the only thing that may interest him playing here if no one is giving him any calls to play.

      It's not that I'm not rooting for him to do well, but I'd be lying if I said him having a good season wouldn't scare me after what we've seen out of him so far. I'd be afraid of it just being one of those situations you see all the time, a player is in a make it or break it season, they somehow raise their level of play to new levels, and then proceed to immediately drop back off a cliff the next season (although this does usually happen in contract years, not a player trying to not get cut). Now, if you tell me that no matter how well he plays, we're then going to flip him for a draft pick in the offseason, then yea, I'd want him to go off for a monster season so we can get a better return.

      Helllllllllllllll no on Tyreek, not even on a vet minimum and if he was playing at his peak abilities. We have way too young of a WR room to bring that head case into the locker room, there is just no way I want him around any of our WRs.  The things that make him great aren't things that can be taught, they're his natural born athletic gifts, so there isn't anything useful he can teach our guys and would just be a bad influence on them. Same goes for Stefon Diggs. Allen I'd love, he'd be a great mentor for T-Mac and Coker, but I doubt he plays anywhere other than with the Chargers or a legit true SB contender this year (and only small odds on the latter there, likely Chargers or nothing I'd guess).
