Ben Bass dislocates shoulder: out 2-4 weeks

[CATCH17]

Ill be shocked if we don't have to forfeit week 2 from lack of available players.

Phil Costa to DT!

 

[slick325]

didn't the Lions work him out...liked him but had some issues in college but at this point if he isn't signed, Dallas should check in to him, even as a stop gap depth..

The Lions did bring him in but I don't believe he signed.

 

[fifaguy]

This is crazy..

 

[AbeBeta]

The Lions did bring him in but I don't believe he signed.

But clearly he is the answer here. Yeah, he really sounds like someone that can come in with zero practice and contribute.

People say "2nd round talent" -- unfortunately he sucks.

He's still young AbeBeta. I'm not looking for him to be a savior but a rotational player which is needed currently.
Funny cuz Colombo sucked too in Chicago and Ernie Sims sucked in Detroit and Brain Waters couldn't make the '99 Cowboys because he sucked too.....you're right...the light never turns on for players. Either you have it or you don't. Thanks for the insight.

Just defensive linemen, but our linebackers are so good now that we don't really need a DL!

 

[MonsterD]

Can Andre Smith play DT?

 

[gimmesix]

Phil Costa to DT!

Quarterbacks would always be just out of his reach.

 

[gimmesix]

I remember everyone mocking the Giants a few years ago when they were drafting defensive linemen early and often in drafts...they have 2 superbowls because of it, smacking the number one and two seeds on the road, Dallas and Green bay, because they have a GM that understands defensive line constant pressure wins football games, the same thing Jimmy Johnson understood, where are the Jimmy Jones, Haley,Tolbert, Lett, Maryland, Henning, Jeffcoat, Casillas on this defensive line and sent them in waves and kept them fresh by rotating them, other than Ware who compares to Haley, nobody comes close to any of those players on this team.

It would be great to do that if the draft falls right and you don't have any other positions you need to fill with the best players available, BUT comparing the pre-salary cap line to the current depth isn't really fair. To build teams now, you've got to make sacrifices unless you really, really hit on your draft picks.

 

[TheCount]

I'm going to assume that actually means 4 - 6 weeks. We pretty much are down to two pass rushers at this point, Ware and Hatcher. God help us.

 

[Stash]

Okay, who are you going to cut to make room on the final 53

Wilbur or Arkin.

I'll even let you pick which one!

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Wilbur or Arkin.

I'll even let you pick which one!

I'd rather cut Arkin. We need any DLmen we can get.

 

[boysfanindc]

I doubt they bring in anyone until next week.

 

[gmoney112]

2-4 weeks is best case scenario.

Hope that the MRI doesn't show labrum/cuff/soft tissue damage or he'll be out much longer.

 

[30yrheel]

Arkin is untouchable apparently

 

[gimmesix]

Wilbur or Arkin.

They'll probably just put Bass on IR, possibly designated for return. If he ends up being out 4 to 6 weeks, then it's fine to plan on him returning in 8.

Agreed, time to step up Pro scouting department.

 

[kiheikiwi]

Sooo, they will have to pick up somebody right ? We can rotate in one player right now, all the DE are too small to plug in inside. So we really gonna need a couple of bodies to rotate in and out ?

 

[jblaze2004]

who's next?
