Just mining for players after the Reiter and Cooper successes. Basically how I run my fantasy team.

Ray Farmer used to do it a lot - I remember lots of complaints about how he was more worried about the guys numbers 50-53 on the roster than the starting line up.

Now, it seems, our FO has had some moderate success on the OL with Reiter and Cooper. So, that's something.

Lemonier is terrible. Though, I'm surprised it wasn't Can Johnson who has been inactive a lot recently.

I think he starts every week and had a sack Sunday too.

He does start. But I'm yet to see him do much with any consistency. Maybe I'm missing something but it seemed every time a run got bounced outside because of good play upfront, Lemonier was the one who couldn't make the tackle or funnel it back inside.

Both are raw as fuck. Our 20 game preseason tryout is almost over.

What does he bring to the table that we don't already have in Duke, Crowe, Winston etc.?

Canton Dawg

Popular guy, according to Ian Rappaport 4 teams put in for Darius Jackson:

Eagles, Giants, Niners, and Browns.

Don't understand cutting Lemonier of all people. He's probably responsible for 20% of our total sacks, LOL.

Holy Analytics! So boils down everything except what's between his ears... could be the issue.

In Winston's case not being perennially on IR is a likely factor...

I swear... Glenn must have photos of Jimmah fucking a ferret... or worse...

We should check and see if he has Jeff Fisher's agent.

Yeah, #3, and Zeke Elliot was #41- so big whoop.

He's like a bad penny.

How many carries has he had for us?

I can only think of one in which he got like one yard, got hit, hurt and fumbled...

Instead of drafting at 2, 4, or 22 we get Darius Jackson an undrafted free agent nobody ever heard of. Meanwhile, Khalil Mack is killing it! He leads the league in sacks while Justin Gilbert is where?

So, you are opposed to this adminstration picking up a RB on waivers because the past administration whiffed on Mack and Gilbert?

Makes a lot of sense.

Good teams never try to add talent to the bottom of the roster.

Right.....a complaint that I hear, but dont really understand......heard it a ton last year too(Gip).....

that is.....we spend all our effort adding to the bottom, while ignoring the top/...

and the simple answer/explanation is that, during the season, the primary(only) source for signing talent is the waiver wire. So, it only stands to reason that.....1) we will sign someone who is an unemployed, waiver player......2) once signed, someone will be cut to create a roster spot....and that person will be #50-53 on the roster....

Thats how it works......no superstars available during the season.....so, yeah, we focus only on the bottom....almost exclusively and HOPE that one of those pick ups climbs the ladder.....

exception???.....mid season trades(which rarely happen)......Collins

So Darius Jackson and waiver pickups have what exactly to do with a past draft under different leadership? Was Mack on waivers and I missed it?

Yeah I can't believe we took Jackson over Mack. What were we thinking

Tour2ma

Actually took a couple beats for me to figure to figure out wtf "Jackson" is...

O/U for Jackson today is 10 touches... Imma take'n the over.

Edit: True to form... DJ is inactive. Another losing ticket to add to the pile.

Mudfly

Id like to see this guy play...this year.....

why wait till 2017 to see what he has?.....

heck.....since we're tanking anyway.....kill 2 birds with one stone.....we can tank another game and evaluate a player while we're at it....
