Phat Pat 2.0?

I'm thinking Jerry Ball 2.0

Can't start a sentence with a number. 
..27 year old snot knocking, fire hydrant, yeah good with that!
Phat Pat, Linval shot in the ass,
help me out, don't know how to rap...

That first rep vs DeCastro...damn...

Killer signing, and sneaky good just about exactly the way Linval was. 

I assume Jaleel rotates with him. Is the end for Shamar 2.0? He can't rush the passer like at all. So there's no point in rotating him at 3T. What are the cap implications of cutting him?

Yeah, good comparison.  I like the way he uses his hands and sheds in those clips.  Moves pretty well too.

Great move.

I don't see how Griffin returns. Hope I'm wrong.

Pierce Highlights

in every loss last year our dline was being moved off the line of scrimmage. You have to stop the run first. I am all for a beefy End to replace Ev if he doesnt contain his price. 99 from atlanta could be a decent signing

"PIERCE NOT, this LOS!"

(I live in a chocolate city, but that's the best I got.   .)

Love the signing.  Takes a UT off the "must need" at 1st round.  Could use another, for rotation/future.  

Pedigree from small-school Samford.  Small, but southern...from wherest I want my nasty ballers.  It's in our blood.

How the F did they find the $$ for this???

Looking at the list of FA's, I figured he was way out of reach to even consider.  Brz is a magician? 

Thankfully, Baltimore signed Brockers (nee Rams) yesterday....and  that made Pierce expendable, as they re-signed their own DT Justin Ellis, as well. 
Ravens were loaded on DL, to our gain.

Awesome!!
Now go get a legit pass rushing DT early in the draft.
