Yeah, the funny thing is, if this guy had been sitting on someone else's roster, and Beane traded a 5th or 6th round pick for him, many people would be praising him for trading for a young player with high potential. But because he planned ahead and added him back in September, there are some amongst our fan base, that will criticize him for lack of effort. No guarantee that Mathis pans out, but Beane should be praised for loading the bench early, rather than "panicking" on the last day of the trade deadline and expending a potentially valuable future draft pick.

CBS understands the value of the Bills/Chiefs in the 4pm EST time slot. Romo was already campaigning for it again next year, during the game. It is like having a Primetime game in the 4 o'clock window.

He was impressive at Alabama, and very productive. Was a second round draft pick of the Commanders, but was hampered by injuries. Has a high ceiling for sure.

I am really excited about him. We just added him to the 53 and I think he will start showing up on film more and more going forward.

Now that Mathis has been added to the active roster, I am excited to see how he develops. He has a really high ceiling (former second round pick by the Commanders) but his development has been slowed by injuries. (calf)/meniscus) He has been called up twice, and now appears to be signed to the 53. In his last year at 'Bama (2021) Mathis had 53 tackles, 9 sacks and 12 TFL's and was named 2nd team all-SEC. This kid has a lot of upside. https://rolltide.com/sports/football/roster/phidarian-mathis/4653

Nice! We out here smuggling snacks into the movie theater, while the competition is buying the refillable large popcorn.

Cool, now they can trade us Garrett Wilson.

I thought they traded away Christian Wilkins...

Dolphins game this week we will play whoever's left after all their trades

So why would he say anything now, knowing we will likely be playing them again at some point?

I will add another vote for Hoecht. We were a different team when he was on the field. I am hoping someone else steps up and plays with the kind of aggressive energy he was bringing. I feel like this Defense will keep getting better, even with the next man up.

Only Samoans…

Uh… for starters, there is the habitual nut grabbing.

Thank you for that explanation. That said, I am still hoping he is ready to start tapping into that potential that he showed in college. 53 tackles, 9 sacks, 13 TFL’s for ‘Bama in ‘21. Team captain and Second team all SEC. The upside is there.

I am intrigued by Phidarian Mathis. Seems like he was productive at Alabama, was a second round pick by the Commanders, but his development was slowed down by injuries. Has shown enough to get the call up. Let’s hope he starts tapping in to that potential.
