Is anyone decent still available? Replacing a DPOY isn’t possible but we will need someone to apply pressure…
 
Next man up and then someone from someone's PS. I doubt we make any kind of move.
 
James Harrison might be available.....

There has to be someone out there that can help. Losing TJ is just massive though. It hurts TJs position and also adds an extra blocker because Highsmith probably wont draw double teams.
 
The fact we made a trade to get Reed tells me the front office didn’t think anyone out there was worth it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Highsmith's stat line for today included 9 tackles, 3 sacks and 4 QB hits. If he continues to show that he's disruptive, he'll draw double teams.
 
I wouldn't change one dime of the contract but when a guy is 10 percent more powerful than the other superhuman players it feels inevitable. Something has to give.
 
There had been some guys out there, but they all got sucked up by now… there might be some trade options out tgere, but we don’t have the cap to get them… like bringing Dupree back… the Titans weren’t happy with him, but his salary is 16 mill this season… they will have to use reed and bring in one of those one dimensional vets like Vaughner.. or promote delonte scott… hell sign Roche off the giants squad
 
Listened to orthopedic surgeon on net. He said if TJ has a low grade tear 4-6 weeks. If it's high grade on the tendon requires surgery and 3-4 months with a full football recovery.

I missed most of the game. How did Malik Reed play? Was he on the edge? Time to scrub the practice squads. The FA pool is drained.
 
1. Jamie Collins SR lots of experience in 3-4 and can get to the qb also was the OLB that should of been drafted instead of uncle Jarvis
2 Edge JPP we all know he can get to the QB experienced and established sack rusher
3 Tack Mcinnley hit n miss rusher

trade for 3-5th rnd pick
CAr Hassan Reddick
try Chase Winovich any insert any name here

some familiar guys to try Taco Charlton

lets what Austin Flores do I would expect a trade after TJ mri then other options are use Wormley as a stand up rusher as well as change base to 4-3 as we have enough DL big and fast bodies

RE Highsmith
3T Leal/Wormley
/NG Tyson Adams
LE/DT Heyward/Leal/Jack
OLb Bush
MLB Spilliane
OLB Jack
as well WLB can use Edmunds at times

nickel without Watt 4-2-5
DE Wormley
DT Heyward
DT Tyson
De/LB highsmith
LB Bush LB Jack have to use a few times a game the MLB delay blitz with Bush and try the cross as with Tyson and Cam youu have 2 huge gus that can push to open a hole for the Cross
S Edmunds
CB Maulet
CB Witherspoon
CB Wallace
S Minkah
 
i have no idea what that last post was about but I believe I developed a cancerous aneurysm reading it
 
at best, we bring back Skipper
at worst, we bring back Skipper
 
Is Jarvis is playing?
 
Reed is going to take Watt's spot and they will bring in another guy as his back up. If he's still available, they may bring Tushka back. I definitely don't see them making any kind of splash here. It will be a FA signing or a link 6th or 7th round pick trade.

Skipper was waived injured, so he cannot resign with us for three weeks past whatever weeks they designed him as recovery time… it would be a minimum of week 4 but likely longer… we aren’t privy to those arrangements
