Another public service announcement... don't believe everything you read.

 

Sorry to be a dyck head. 🙃

 

 

No sweat. I wasn't a true believer by any means, but even if I was, I can handle eating a little 💩 -- it's good for us.

He is not a pass rusher, this dude is a run clogger that will allow Oliver and the backers to stay clean.

 

 

Yeah, freeing up the backers is the huge part of this.

 

He used to be considered the strongest guy in the league. A bit older now. Seems like a really good move, and I look forward to seeing how that works out.

 

Never been a pass rusher like DaQuan was, and I don't see that starting now.

Linval Joseph was in his prime (esp the Vikings years) a pretty good pass rusher. He was on the NFL top 100 in 2016 and 2018 (and probably deserved to be there in 2017) to show you how good he was in his Minnesota years. 

 

He has not been that type of penetrator pass rush-wise the past few years but in the past few seasons, he has been a quality space eater which is what we need in order to get value out of this signing.

I doubt there's a player or coach in the NFL who doesn't respect him.

yea, I know..thanks... it just doesn't happen and he was talking out of his a$$

 

 

It was clearly an idiotic question from an idiot...........and now he's doubled down. 

 

Since the league expanded the PS and made it more lucrative there are a lot of veterans on teams basically getting paid to workout and help the team prepare.........in places they want to be........or around people they want to be around etc..

 

Duke Johnson got paid pretty well to sit on the PS in Buffalo last year..........but let's say Arizona decided they need a veteran to handle 10-12 carries in week 17.   Are you saying he would definitely jump ship from a SB contender who he's one injury away from playing for just for the larger pay check and potentially miss the playoffs?   Of course this kind of thing DOES happen.   A guy like Eli Ankou has to pretty much take every chance he gets.........but the practice squad isn't full of guys who are just playing for the money OR the chance to play in one more game.

The expanded PS and the lifting of maximum service time for six PS slots is one of the better things the NFL did (Along with changing the stupid IR rules). It allows all of these vets a chance to hang on and contribute where under the rules of no more than 2 accrued years of service time basically kept a lot of these players with possibly something left in the tank in the league. It also allowed these vets a chance to teach the players on their team while collecting a nice check and still keeping their chances of playing alive.

Joseph is a big DT but Washington was in a different category.    He played close to 400,  was a little shorter with longer arms and bigger hands and a better athlete.  He was the perfect NT and the Bills lost their identity when they lost him.     Joseph was never in that category of difference maker but he was really good in his prime.   He's not that guy anymore but I think he'll like the Bills D and hopefully play a little better in the Bills D than he did last year for Philly.

 

I still miss Ted, best DT we ever had and should be in the HOF

Great job. You answered the question before it was asked. Hopefully no one will ask why he lingered on the free agent market for so long... 

 

 

Yes... exactly. You also answered the question before it was asked. Good job.

 

 

... nothing personal but this is not a very good question.

 

 

Exactly. This is why he was still available.

 

 

Obviously... to some of us but some people have comprehension problems... or simply would rather post than read... good job on you though.

 

 

Yes. True.

 

 

You're absolutely correct. A pretty simple concept. Hopefully no one persists in asking the stupid question.

 

 

Agreed. 

 

 

This has already been painstakingly addressed by 7 posts before yours. You should read before you post.

 

 

Sigh... 

 

 

Yes... thank you for understanding this exceedingly simple concept.

 

 

Thank you dear God...

 

 

Bless you... you restore my faith... 

 

 

Yes, thank you. I'm now convinced that no one will ask the stupid question as to why he wasn't signed earlier...

 

 

Nothing personal but this is a really stupid ***** question.

 

 

Forget it... you're wasting your good opinion on deaf ears... people who post first and read... never?

 

 

Yes!!!

 

 

You are correct Sir!!!

 

 

Thank you for a good take... maybe there is hope for this country.

 

Moral of the story (as always). READ... then only post if necessary.

 

Here's another idea... if you're not adding value... don't bother adding anything because you're part of the problem... this is the reason a 6 page thread turns into a 20 page quagmire of feces.

Wall of Fame post right here!!!

100% love this dude but man are dudes at 1BD need to work on their interviewing skills. Felt awkward but Joseph handled it like a boss.

Honestly rather they not play Joseph and Fournette this week. Give them a couple weeks of practice before gradually inserting them into the lineup. I can see muscle strain now.

Not really close to the biggest game. It’s a big game sure. They’ll get bigger as the year goes on.

what is Elam on IR with?

Depends on who you ask. 
 

If you ask Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott, they’ll say it’s an ankle injury that’s been lingering for a few weeks per the injury report. 

 

If you ask folks on this message board, they’ll say it’s bustitis.
