LB3

3 penalties last year.

This is quickly becoming very apparent. Blaming last year's first round pick on the previous GM while that player is still on the team was an unusual admission to put it nicely.

I don't know about the press conference, but he did say that in an NFL Network interview right after. He jokingly said something like, "I told him not to go there". Then he did he was just playing but that he did tell Gore what the deal was because they're boys.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Is it known that they didn't try to re-sign him?

You are thinking too logically. If Tyrod believes he can be a starter, even if he is the only person that believes he can be, then he would want to at least find a situation where he could compete. He could likely find a back up role in many places. Why not take the chance if he believes in himself?

He wanted to have a chance at starting. There was no way that was happening there. Even if they wanted to re-sign him (they could have), he could have said no.

They can't force him to stay.

Woot woot!

Agreed. It's never a bad thing to have a lot of good pass rushers.

Nice! I'm glad they apparently brought Wynn back too. He impressed last year.

He's currently a regular on The Strain as well.

If true i like it. Edit: WGR did just tease some Taylor news coming up.

Whaley to Chandler this morning: "Good! Get the hell out of my Life! Who needs you? Beat it!" Whaley to Chandler if the Clay deal falls through: "Im sorry babe, I didn't mean that. I just yell 'cause I get so scared. Scared of being a nobody."

Of course Floki will still be angry, it's what makes him so amusing. Like how he was mad that he was too happy in the first episode. Ragnar will take the Princess whenever he is feeling...up...to it. Not sure on Athelstan. I will say that I enjoy his storyline a lot now, which I never thought I would have said when the show first began.

I really hope they lock Bradham in to an extension before the season. If they wait, his number could (IMO will) rise significantly. I think the guys you mentioned are almost past the point of hoping for any early bird savings.

Nice. He and Fred are the heart of this team.

That it isn't out of the realm of possibility that he ends Brady's and his own career with a post play stomp.

Weird. Jason Worilds retired too, he's only 27 and was in line for a good sized free agent contract.

I'd be all for them signing Taylor and adding him to the competition.

Yup. Interference with stadium ads. He is a good blocker and a below average receiver. An actual receiving threat, albeit small one. Unless you are on the one yard line, it is much better to have him in than a third tackle. Even in that situation, giving a route to a guy who just blocks 85% of the time is less predictable than the guy who just essentially said "Nothing to see here." A third tackle (not a starter), is likely to be an average to good blocker at best with no receiving ability to speak of at all. The drop off in skill from one area to the other (blocking vs receiving) is, in most all cases, likely larger in the receiving area. If playing 3 tackles was a better option 100% of the time, a coach might have tried it at least once. Maybe it happened a long time ago, but I can think of no instance of this in recent memory.

Does he still get headaches that time of the month?
