Is Pickens playing at all? Haven’t heard anything about him.

2nd string, he will be a pass rush guy vs a starter based on some breakdowns I have seen

There was a play in 2005 where healthy tommie came in like 90 degrees horizontally on a run protection tackle which was when i got a feeling we might make a sb if not that year, the next year — with a healthy grossman lol. I miss healthy tommie

Tommie was a world class player...remember the fans in other stadiums being pretty salty!...he could literally change games...when he went down against the queens in soldier field, I think...I felt physically sick.

You and me both, brother. I really thought he was going to be the linchpin of a new identity for the franchise

Imagine how much time he's wasted n3gging the 50 different posters he's played victim to over the past few years.

I believe John Madden and Al did a game that year (2005-6) against the Seahags and Tommie was dominating... Madden was full on in love!...Great memories.

I also have a photo of my daughter in Seattles stadium with Tommie Harris in front of a "Tommie Harris is a chick" sign with a Seahags fan. Legend.

Well Houston is 34 years old and Yann is a more productive pass rusher

 

[MikeDitkaPolishSausage]

I just want them to be the worst team in the DIVISION.

I’m cool with this.

To think there were some around here who have been calling me a Packers fans for years.

Houston is probably a part time player at this point in his career. Good player and a reasonable contract.

Poles signed a 28 yo starting DE with 9.5 sacks last season for 10M. The 1 year says a lot more than the dollar amount.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

Hicks was better than Harris

Fight me!

Imagine Hicks and Harris together.

 

[Les Grossman]

Yep and honestly it’s not even that big of a difference considering they are both just 1 year deals.

Not real sure what he’s talking about.

 

[didshereallysaythat]

Imagine Hicks and Harris together.

With Mack on one end and Peppers the other.

Maybe you are but with a better beer taste. ?

I saw this a bit ago. Apologies for the shitty link, I couldn't find a better YT link.

Scroll down to the middle, watch the video starting at 1:15.

Florida Coach Admits Defensive Scheme Hindered Gervon Dexter

Gervon Dexter wasn't overly productive in college. His own coach admits scheming had a lot to do with that.

www-sportsmockery-com.cdn.ampproject.org

It explains a lot. That was recently coached into him and probably a degree of muscle memory there. Good news is that can likely be coached out, and I believe he has all the physical traits to be a very good NFL DT.

Edit - Better, longer interview

Edit 2 - That second one is pretty good if you haven't seen it and worth a watch.

You want to know who Gervon Dexter Jr. kind of plays like?? Remember former Vikings DT Kevin Williams? They have the same playstyle and physical profile.

Put him next to Billings, and it's essentially a new version of "the Williams Wall" that the Queens had for all those years. Just nasty, nasty interior defensive line play. And the run is not going to be an option.

hey guys I'm glad we could get back to actual football talk again here

It's so peaceful now.

I scrolled forward a few pages and didn't see a response, Whitehair is starting and appeared to be fine but then he rolled one back to JF
who picked it up, Lucas is 2nd string have heard nothing about how he looks and the kid from Illinois is 3rd string and probably won't
make the 53 because he only plays center whereas Dieter plays C & G. That's what I've read.

thank you, good sir
