Agree 100%

Le'Veon Bell has a LisFranc injury- ESPN says he'll miss atleast 6 weeks. (anyone wanna ask JR how long that takes a 50 yo man to heal?)

Got my paid Fantasy Football league draft tonight, dropping him in the rankings, thanks

there's generally only one reason bad players stay on rosters/in lineups:

teams don't have better options to replace them with.

if we had money maybe we could have signed vollmer, but we didn't, so pashos and trueblood came in from the vet min scrap heap and haven't shown to be an upgrade at this point, so... we are what we are.

Thomas and Holmes lisfranc injuries must be epic compared to his.

Good point. One could make a similar argument for our secondary.

Was going to draft him in mine but guy right in front of me took him and I ended up with as R Mathews as my RB3 guy.

Absolutely, with the cap penalty we took the past 2 offseasons it really hampered our ability to sign big name guys at certain positions of need. That is why we had to either deal with what we have, or try to get improvements through the draft. That is the biggest reason I think Leribeus was a huge mistake in the 3rd round last year. We should have grabbed a right tackle. Anyway, as long as polumbus doesnt get Robert injured this season it will be a success regardless. Then I am sure we will address that position next offseason. Imagine the roster we have now then going into next offseason with some spare cash to sign a couple of probowl caliber players to add!!

I thought Gumbs was about the only one, in the secondary, lol. Hall made a couple. Has Crawford just not played well? Hard to see him losing out to guys like Minnifield. Our secondary personnel is playing average to bad, so far, IMO.

Hopefully we generate enough pressure with the front 7 that it will be somewhat negated.

That Guy · 08-21-2013, 11:55 PM

yeah, i think we all thought leribeus was a big mistake at the time, and so far he hasn't exactly proved anyone wrong.

maybe he's a late bloomer, but i wouldn't be placing any bets on it.

If he doesn't stop blowing up in the offseason he won't be around long. That seems to be his problem since highschool, he hits the offseason and does not prepare himself for the next year of football. You can't do that in the NFL it may have been ok in college but that won't fly in the pros.

Grossman on the other hand looked to be running a basic offense, basic drop and throw with a lot less "option". Plus he's as slow as molasses[.]

Saw this and reminded me of this discussion. Hopefully, we are done with it very, very soon.

Yeah if LeRibeus fails us, it will sting worse if Gettis also can't make an impact. I optimistic we will find a starting RT and G in the draft, keep Tyler as a backup, and have competition with Chester. Then have FA to find a LDE, MLB, and S. I am worried enough with Tyler playing, can't really expect any OL injuries to not be a huge blow.

Has MHurt been active at all in preaseason games?
