    Emery said he wanted to get younger on defense, and his two big signings in free agency on D have been on the DL, and guys on the young side of 30. So from that perspective, there appears to be a plan and it's being implemented. I like it.

    Yeah, his playing career was during the Super Bowl shuffle-era Bears. Long, long ago.

    The Graham being classified as a TE situation can't hurt But...they had $1.9mil in cap space before the Byrd signing...they're going to be in cap hell for a long time. This Byrd contract has to be heavily backloaded. Here's the Saints payroll without Byrd added in (no contract details yet): http://overthecap.com/teamcap.php?Team=Saints&Year=2014 I think it just goes towards the reality that the cap rarely keeps a team from adding a single piece. Things can be moved around to accomodate it. Several pieces? Probably a different story.

    Nor did I. Although it makes sense -- the NYG were a hot mess last year, not much reason to pay attention to them.

    As with everything, depends on the details

    lol, wow. at least there's nowhere to go but up.

    Better get a good backup. 13 games in the last 2 years. Not a difference maker when he is in there. Whatever he costs, I'd rather have spent 500K-1Mil more on someone similar who might actually play 16 games this year. With Briggs, DJ, Bostic, Greene, and McClellin, I'm thinking all we'll add is a mid round type for depth. If there's an injury, maybe they get a vet to come in late. That LB corps scares the crap out of me.

    One thing I love about Houston -- his age. He'll play 3 more seasons before his 30th b-day. By comparison, the Bears signed Pep when he was 30. Hopefully we're catching a player with more upside to explore, in addition to just filling a need.

    Sure why not. Go get 'em Jets. Can't blame him. I wanted him back, FWIW. 4Mil for a guy you never want to see on the field. Glad they're not matching that crap. Yeah, definitely not at that price.

    Houston: It looks like he had his best year as a pro last year, but I don't see anything special -- other than lowering the price tag from Peppers' contract.
  12. Soul
    did he come back in? yeah he did. took a two handed chop across the forearm and his left arm immediately dropped to his side, but he finished the game thankfully I'll bet he has a nasty bruise on that forearm, though.

    What doesn't this dude get? When you make a lot of money and don't perform to your standards, teams move on. That's any team in the freaking NFL. The Bears aren't going to resign you because you played well for them in 2006. The more this guy talks the more I forget how great of a football player he was. I know, but realistically you've got to expect this kind of thinking from ex-players.

    Why does Baez need to prove himself at AAA? Is there something he specifically is not doing well yet, or is this just a Theo philosophy that all prospects need to dominate at that level? If it's the latter, that's pretty bizarre. There have been top prospects who skipped AAA and did just fine -- obviously.
  15. Soul
    Hopefully it's just the doldrums.
  16. Soul
    Damn it duncan
  17. Soul
    Lol

    He certainly is good at talking.

    So what if the novelty wears off? I'd like it to move past being a novelty item, and into an actual thing. Loved that game Saturday. The snow, the cold, everything.

    NHL receives less attention here in general, everyone knows that. The Hawks get pretty good coverage considering this, IMO
  21. Soul
    What do you mean?
  22. Soul
    I'm starting to like the idea of trading down more, although it would all depend on the details. I wonder if several teams will want to do the same, given the apparent depth of this draft class. That might make it harder.
  23. Soul
    Tazer having a nice game so far
  24. Soul
    Re-design your unis after a few down seasons, to generate cash flow. That's got to be a bullet-point in a sports franchise success book, somewhere.

    Poop.
