It doesn't commute because it wasn't about our DT getting hurt.. The point he was making is quoted above.. Not because we lost Kemo...

What i was hinting was that we have lost our starting DT for the season that is a known fact. Both Davis and Beason have injuries that most likely want have them miss a single reg season game. So to me we dont need to waste our time, roster spot, or more seriously our limited cap space on a LB that will almost certainly not make the 53. I'm not to worried about it seeing as it it is still early but we need to start bring in some serious competition at the DT position. It would be a need even if we hadn't lost Kemo now it is a necessity. The longer we wait the less time said players have to learn our system and there teammates.

And its compute not commute.

Then what DT would you bring in? Not many A listers just hanging around.

1st of all, thanks for your stewardship on pointing out my typo.. Everyone here appreciates you helping them figure out what it was that I was saying. :)

2nd, I understand your concern with wanting to fill a Kemo replacement, but the article clearly mentions the CAMP FODDER is here for the LBers injured. So you're concern with roster spaces may be a little unwarranted.

The reason being...it has more to do with having a body there for the players to have someone to practice against... Beason and Davis are sitting out some, so it is important that they bring in someone to fill the void for the time being... It has nothing to do with the seriousness of their injuries...

I point this out because the DT situation is irrelevant to this guy coming in...

This guy will be brought in regardless of us finding a DT... and don't worry about roster spots. We aren't going to waste one on him. It'll be okay. :)

Once we find a guy in FA worth bringing in, I'm sure we will.. I would imagine they are trying to see who they have in the mean time.. But roster spots and cap space doesn't have anything to do with this guy in particular..

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
