boyst Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Let's get some personality on this DL. We have Anderson who is seemingly passive. Williams who does not want to need. KW who is not a leader just role model and Dareus who is young... Merriman would be nice, sad to say.
mrags Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Just got a text from the Bills that Branch is in the building

Saint Doug Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 This is some great trash bin sifting. Pretty sure this signing would only amount to an extra warm body for camp.

papazoid Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 why is it, if someone else cut him, he sucks. and if someone else signs him, we were sleeping ?
The Voice of Truth Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I would be thrilled with this pick up. However, if we transition to t 3-4 with him at nose mainly, then Mario is no longer playing his true position. I still want him though.

He's not a NT. (Yeah I know Ratliff, penetrating NT,) It's true any DT that can penetrate and create mayhem will fit anywhere on any D -- but KW was not good last year and has another achilles procedure and/or rehab to go. He's not the same guy. His game was explosive off the line -- always motoring and penetrating. Exploding off the line with two damaged achilles tendons is asking a lot. The FO is hedging their bets on KW. That's my take. But you also have DL Kelsay, Merriman, spencer johnson and kyle moore not currently on the roster. I would think they might want to replace a guy or two there. And if they classify Mario and/or anderson as olb's that leaves you even shorter on DL. I think there will be room for both and I think he replaces Johnson more than anyone else.
TPS Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 They clearly need a run-stuffer. I'm sure Pettine wanted DeVito, but he got scooped up pretty quick by the Chiefs.

Just went into it--they must have run an update because I had to toggle on to push "team news." Let's see if this fixes it...

At least, that was according to the USA Today.
