Oh, you mean the “weak-bodied bust”? That guy?

He just signed with Pittsburgh- 3 years, $27m.

Yay us.

I totally get it now. Soup wasn’t born, he was built!

Sashi Brown- the magic man. How the hell did he swing a 5th rounder? I mean, I thought we would have to give up a 5th to get rid of him!

Funny you say that…Browns supposedly asked him to take a pay cut, which he declined. So there’s more to it than it being a one-sided affair.

League minimum my ass…dude deserves more than that. Quit viewing shit in terms of just numbers, Soup.

Well shit. You beat me to it. You could delete mine or keep it around to make it seem like there’s more topics than there really are in the forum.

Still…this sucks. This is the worst possible scenario. Ugh.

What could one more year hurt, other than trade value? This isn’t exactly going to be a Super Bowl-caliber team this season, and it’s also a position we’re pretty thin at.

Also, this is a story that has probably been blown way out of proportion…the conversations likely went something like:

Sashi- Hey there, [insert GM name here], got a…[Read more]

Chances are, we don’t get shit, and he ends up getting cut when we trim down to 53.

I expected you to say this very thing…except for the draft pick. Pegged you as a 3rd lol.

I’m with Shooter- besides last season, nobody tried throwing in this dude’s direction very often, and when they did he often made a play. While I agree he’s injured more often than I would like, I would at least like to see him this season in this…[Read more]

Alright, this isn’t meant to throw shade or even to prove a point, especially when I haven’t heard his name get called much this season (presumably a good thing). A good view of the play is at the :52 mark. I honestly don’t know if this has been going on throughout the preseason, but he definitely was beaten here (though it was Marshall that did…[Read more]

Shooter, I mostly agree with you. And I know that it’s preseason, buuuuuut…I really haven’t seen anything from him that indicates that he’s back to form, at least from a physical standpoint. From the Giants game, one play that comes to mind is when Peppers laid the wood on Shepard and he misses the pass. The only reason it was thrown there?…[Read more]

Or whom. We need receiver help,and I don’t doubt that’s our goal here. Maybe even both that and a draft pick…?

I wish I could say “oh, but these guys will come along”…but outside of Coleman, nobody has been real consistent catching the ball. We haven’t seen a lot of the running game thus far (Duke needs to stop with the fumbilitis), although Dayes is intriguing. Beyond that, nobody really screams “threat”, do they?

Still, we’ve showed growth from last…[Read more]

I suck at predictions, so I don’t make them anymore.

I will say that there’s certainly a lot to be excited about. We actually have a QB that inspires hope for the future, a defense motivated by a take-no-shit defensive coach that seems to get the best out out of his players, and (to my knowledge) we field the youngest team in the league. Not too…[Read more]

Daaaaaamn, he just whipped out the Edsel jokes.

But I get what you’re saying Soup. And just like the win/loss, preseason means nothing in terms of numbers.

But that doesn’t mean good things aren’t happening. Despite having great field position for a good chunk of the game, despite fielding what many consider a playoff team, Tampa Bay never…[Read more]
