And what in particular did we use his money for besides signing Mike Vick? <br /><br />I just think it's relevant to bring this up one last time as we go into our first regular season without the legend.

He gets two games to state his case.<br /><br />Lyons, I know nothing about, other than his draft bio saying he's the prototypical 3-4 defensive end. Don't even remember him coming up in any draft stuff.<br /><br />If they were to sign another lineman, it would be a tackle. Hubbard is unlikely to be active on game day.<br /><br />As for the guys who were placed on the practice squad, they cleared waivers, which is why they signed today. There is a 24-hour period. Chickillo and Grant will likely be brought back Monday to the practice squad once they clear waivers.<br /><br /><br /><br />Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-35894796645099950122015-09-07T00:37:03.394-04:002015-09-07T00:37:03.394-04:00Dale, what are your thoughts on the Toddman and Ly...Dale, what are your thoughts on the Toddman and Lyons pick ups? I think Toddman is a great fit with this team and is more than just a 2-game rental. I think he takes the permanent KR job from Dri Archer and eventually his roster spot on game days. He's better as a returner and he is a legit, big-play NFL RB with some toughness. He's also decent in pass protection. I don't know anything about Lyons, though I was surprised the Steelers picked up another undrafted rookie FA at DT/DE rather than a vet. Hoping that Chickillo and Grant will be on the team's practice squad later today. <br /><br />A couple of vet OL that are still intriguing to me that are out there are C/G Barrett Jones cut from the Rams and C/G Gino Gradkowski cut by the Raiders. Both would be upgrades to old Mother Hubbard at G. datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-21693127222046536782015-09-06T23:12:12.782-04:002015-09-06T23:12:12.782-04:00Dale,

Could Landry Jones outplay a corpse? This is no way to build a champion. If it wasn't for a couple lucky picks the FO would look like complete failures. And don't bring up their history. No playoff wins since 08. 3 games over .500 in the last 3 years. A franchise QB Iis going to waste.

Does that have to do with being draft picks vs. UDFA? Also, if someone signs one of the draft picks like Grant/Chick, do they have to put them on the 53 man roster? I'm looking how HoJo was signed to TB practice squad for more money than PITT offered (I think he wasn't considered a draft pick so there's different rules).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-48773093671840607312015-09-06T17:46:53.106-04:002015-09-06T17:46:53.106-04:00Shamarko has been awful in pre season.

The only question looming was if he could take it and not screw up, and he screwed up a lot, even if his run D was amazing by some accounts. Allen will not make mistakes like him, though has probably half his athletic ability, but in situations like this u go with the safe option and try to keep developing the young guy.
