Jack returning is basically the same as Sean Spence returning years ago. The guy is cooked. But desperate times....
I don't seem to remember Jack as being particularly good.
just say no please for the love of god! this late in the season hard to find any help maybe get someone off a PS, but at this point might as well pray for help
Time to switch to a 4-3?
he wasnt .............. the knees are goneQuote:

yeah he hasnt taken a snap since last year , quit first week of training camp ( maybe first day this year ) definitely would not be close to football shape and his knees are gone ( that is a shame because he was a good player at one time )Quote:

rather have big daddy wilkinson playing LB
Rather just poach Barr from the Vikings PS if he’s still on there.
Can we just not sign veterans where we can all see the giant fork sticking out of them?
Just sign guys in their early 20’s until you find one that can play.
Assuming it will be to the practice squad.
Uggghhh. Why?
Let’s hope for the unforeseen snag to show up this week…Quote:

I know I am repeating myself over and over again. But it is better than arguing about Canada and Pickett some more.
Look at what Trenton Thompson did on Sunday. Did anyone miss Neal? Honestly...it was ONE game against a comically limited QB....but I have to ask....why was this not tried before?
That's why you don't sign washed veterans for their "saavy". You sign guys with some juice left and coach them up to contribute.
I think they will be looking for more PS guys. Don't lose hope Mojouw. [emoji1787]Quote:

I’m trying to stay positive but this organization’s insistence on winning now versus setting themselves up to win a bunch in the future is driving me to drink.Quote:

I wonder how long it will be this time until you're caught lying again?Quote:

Yeah. There is just an organizational/Tomlin bias towards "vets they feel they can trust" and I find it pointless and borderline useless.Quote:

I get the roll of the dice on Pat Pete. He is likely here to mentor Porter more than anything else. Same with Robinson at WR.
But....these other "saavy" but limited vets on their 3rd contract....just....why?
I like all the Inside LB signings. They were all pretty good. The Peterson signing to mentor JPJ, I am fine with. Most of the others…I’d like a do over.Quote:

Yeah. When the roster needs as much help as it does or has recently, short term harm for long term gain has to be on the table.Quote:

Steelers sign Jack and Eric Rowe to the practice squad. Trenton Thompson signed to the 53 man roster, Elijah Riley to IR due to high ankle sprain.
