they dont allow peppers to decide that is the DC doing that- and will notice when izzy is in they don't do it, because he only plays one side..just saying if having a rotation you don't need a 5.5 mill player on the bench as Alex would ahve been at times.. and once again always liked alex a person and he was a good promoter here.. BUT as a player that never had double digit sacks.. he isn't missed, and not doing anything in N.O just confirms was the right move.. I like alex, but he is NOT a top DE, sorry

While Anderson has not lived up to his rookie year performance, and maybe Grant will come in and play well, they found him on the Omaha Nighthawks roster!

I just wish that JA is doing that same type of digging to repair an OL in much need of triage! While I don't have any names to offer if JA is looking at the Omaha fucking Nighthawks for D line help, then SURELY someone in this universe if available who can block better than Roberto Fucking Garza and Frank "The Turnstyle" Omiyale.

That's the point of all these posts. Just my opinion.

AGAIN IF NO OLINEMAN AVAILABLE( and they are not).

Shoudl Angelo NOT make any moves.. becuase well he NEEDS TO ADDRSSS THE OLINE ITS ALL THAT MATTERS1

that attitude is dumb and childish

and again grant to me No different than picking up edwin williams a few weeks ago from the Redskins practice squad.. YET somehow that moves goes un-noticed but a HUGE DEAL about grant???

isn't williams on a NFL practice squad above the UFL?? and if so why not talk about the williams move shows he was diggign and even found someone?

The D isn't far off being a dominant force and we need to make the most of this renaissance from Urlacher as some of our keystones on the D aren't getting any younger. I would also like to get to the offseason with a still healthy franchise QB coming off the back of a positive, improved and productive year, and the key to getting the best out of the QB and making the most of what could be a really hot D is fixing the most glaring weakness.

at 3-1 we ARE winning now FWIW

and you can complain until your hearts content,, just saying IF no one is avaiable all the complaining in teh world completely useless.. but if that floats yer boat, have at it..

its like complaining No one dropped off $1 billion dollars on your door today... and what you would do with it and how you need that 1 billion.. just don't see the use in it

Agree the Oline PLAYED GOD AWFUL... BUT saying we need players that don't exist or killing the team for not getting non-existant players isn't realistic or see the use in it

Oh, dont even start with that Alex Brown sack business...its a well known fact that he brought much more to the table then just sacks. And if rotation was the ultimate goal, then i would want to have AB in that rotation with izzy anyway. And that 5.5M salary? AB was worth that. So stop trying to justify us getting rid of AB as some kind of briliant move, because it wasnt. Which is made abundantly clear by the fact that we have now cut Anderson as well. We should have cut him to begin with, but JA just proved he has no idea what he is doing.

peppers took over his FG blocking place and does it better, so that' a non-starter.. izzy is every bit as good a run stopper , so that's a non-starter.. so back to 5.5 sacks for 5.5 million.. not saying it was a 'brilliant move".. saying it was a logical move that free up $5.5 million.

and if we cut anderson we still have brown's $5.5 mill so that makes no sense
