If you want some of those talented players who aren't the best people then you need strong leaders as coaches. With this example Pouncey might be bad, but by that logic so was Suh, Ajayi and Landry. IMO if they could manage those personalities better they would be fielding a far more talented team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this funny? What did Ryan Grant ever do to elicit ES hatred? Not live up to being a 5th round pick??? If his physical fail was legit, then at worse, that's a "them's the breaks" but if there was funny business going on then he's got a grievance. Either way, what's with the harsh?

Either way, what's with the harsh? The situation is somewhat funny in all honesty. The Ravens give the guy a great contract offer. The Ravens fans damn near revolt. He shows up to sign right as Crabtree gets released. He "fails" a physical on an ankle he played on last year. Crabtree gets signed the next day? Yeah man. It is kinda funny.

It seemed a lot simpler 20 years ago... The thing that I always will remember about him is his association with Aaron Hernandez. It goes a bit deeper than the stories of "Tim Tebow was good teammates with Hernandez!", the Pouncey twins were very close with him. There's a lot of talk that went on about how Hernandez ended up like he did and it occurred at Florida. Specifically how he got involved with the wrong crowd and took a lot of "angel dust". Hernandez changed and would switch in and out of a paranoid state as the drug caused significant damage to his brain and the rest is history. http://keepingscore.blogs.time.com/2013/08/28/aaron-hernandez-used-pcp-and-other-shocking-revelations/#ixzz2j0JXK94x http://keepingscore.blogs.time.com/2013/10/28/dolphins-player-served-grand-jury-subpoena-after-patriots-game/ "Hernandez's coach at Florida, Urban Meyer, assigned him three mentors to keep him in line: Mike and Maurkice Pouncey, twin All-American linemen, and, yes, Tim Tebow." http://theweek.com/articles/460596/aaron-hernandez-murder-case-pcp-paranoia-other-new-details Nothing quite like 2 devils on your shoulder for every angel you have.

bowhunter Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Breelands contract with Carolina was structured to only count $4m against the 2018 salary cap (I think $4,9,10-ish) until his infected foot failed the physical. Are we done here? I wouldn't mind bringing him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote was "One definition of insanity" not the definition. Also the skins have not been doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. We've done LOTS of different things, with the same result. Still a few moves away and then gelling to be a competitor, and have been for a while.

Bonez3 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 More reason I simply don't get the Alex Smith move. You have a 30-something QB, you better have moves place to solidify the roster. The Skins were not a move or 2 away from this. I will move forward with the deal, but still don't understand the logic. Would rather be in the 'full build' mode with Fuller and our 3rd.

His $4m cap hit and drafted a QB this year or next. Allen is now starting to really **** me off. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWB Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It's simple, Skins don't have the draft capital to move ahead of the 5-6 teams looking to draft qb's and the free agent qb's have way to many question marks. It was a great move to solidify the most important position in any sport. I'm not sure if we make any more important moves in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
