Sounds like all of our hopes and fears confirmed. BA would fire anyone to keep TW, but TW really seems to be more about the money than taking a stand about the medical staff. BA was too stubborn in trying to discipline TW for the ****ed up timing of his holdout that he may have really ****ed the team over. Watch TW return week 10 when we're 3-7 just to get the "accrued season" under his belt. After seeing what the Texans traded for the Dolphins, they were clearly desperate... Tunsil and Stills for multiple first rounders... I wonder what TW and Docston would have fetched. Haha, I just had a mental image of Bruce saying to Trent: "You want to try to **** the team over? Hold my beer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall was all over the place if you listen to the whole thing. At different points he said he wouldn't be surprised if its soon but then at another point said he wouldn't be surprised if he waits right to the end point of getting accrued for the season -- he wasn't quite sure when that was, week 6 or 7, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We blew it with Texans. Undeniable at this point. I love Trent, but he misses multiple games each year and is hobbled in several more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see anything in there about him being Ok with playing Guard. He came here to play Tackle. Swing tackle would be Ok, but nothing about playing Guard. If you were just reinforcing that then thanks. Just was not sure from the post and your previous statement about him potentially playing Guard.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 3 minutes ago, Skinsinparadise said: Yes. I don't recall when it started but yeah it's been discussed on the draft thread and before all of this went down. It wasn't my idea back then but I agreed with multiple people who liked the idea. You have a young roster. you have talent. But take it up a notch and go for the kill. If you can get 13 million off your books and land hopefully a really good young LT on the cheap and hopefully with an emerging Haskins == then you might be cooking with oil. Part of it for me is i am a skeptic about Trent's health. I think now is the perfect time to trade him. Trent hasn't hit Jordan Reed type status of being labeled injury prone but he's IMO just one more season away from being stuck with that label. All of that makes perfect sense and is one reason I was content with however this whole thing unfolded. I think I found myself not preferring any one scenario over the others, although I did keep saying for a while that I preferred to remain delusional and believe, right up umtil kickoff on September 8th, that Trent would be back with the team this season lol...right when I start to back away from that thought, this happens.

FrFan Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 19 minutes ago, Renegade7 said: So are putting equal blame on both parties? Bruce didnt hold out, Trent did. Bruce didnt cave on this hold out, Trent did. BA didn't care at all about it nor about the others players complaining about the med staff. Almost two years in a row with the most players on IR. Why didn't he do his job about it when he had to, make changes in the med staff? And now he is allegedly asking Trent who to fire ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that he would play guard but I think based on what he's said he's not too interested in playing RT, just my perception though.

I think any GM in the league would expect this, its not too much to ask and not disclosing your displeasure with the team until the last minute is a dick move. IMO I'm as #firebruceallen as can be, but I'd see where he was coming from here. From a business perspective, Trent would have the most leverage doing it when he did.

desertbeagle85 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I've said all along if this is about money. Trent isn't worth a extension at his age. So that means Bruce actually made the right call here. If Trent shows up and plays next week. Bruce looks like really good when it comes to this one.

The most valuable trade piece on the entire roster who's best days will be behind him if and when this team ever ends up being good. Well...if everything works out (IE Haskins) this team could be good next year. Trent's best year could be next year. Who knows. He technically should be in his Prime right now.

The most valuable trade piece on the entire roster who's best days will be behind him if and when this team ever ends up being good. They could still trade him, and I hope that they do. But you're right...they will think that bringing back an aging name (who is admittedly still clearly better than anything we'd be able to replace him with) on a .500-or-worse team is the way to go.

Not only that it's like Trent is going to be in game day shape as soon as he walks in the building. If Trent is on the field, he won't half ass it. Of that, I am pretty certain.

To me I don't care about the emotions of anyone here. I think someone like Belichick would be ruthless -- what can he do to make this team a winner. If he thought adding another first rounder or whatever helps him reach a SB that's would likely be his bottom line. Listening to the rap from D. Hall it made me think less of Trent AND Bruce for different reasons. We got a dose of Trent on the money side. We also got a dose of Bruce determined to make a point above all and in win now mode -- we got a dose at least in my mind of things that I don't like on either front and that I spelled out in advance. But I still don't care about the emotions or feelings about either dude. I want to trade the dude. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he can tell Penn, though, is that his holdout is real or that chances are he wouldn't be back, so the opportunity to start was legit. I'm sure Penn knew he could win that job with his eyes closed as long as Trent wasnt there. Especially given who the competition was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall made it confusing by saying it could be soon or it could be whenever the end game is for accumulating an accrued season. Looks like Ian is jumping on the podcast's points. Ian says in it that he heard that he can come back next week. but there is no national reporter who I think less of than that dude as for getting things right.
