I guess you didn't get it. With so many asking for Free to be replaced or cut (which is absurd), it's pretty difficult to tell who is serious and who isn't.
You missed the sarcasm. How am I the one not getting it? I'm well aware of the idiots saying it and called it out in the thread about it. You were the one who took it literally therefore that makes you the one who didn't get it...

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

Brown is the starter now. I don't think I would throw Mo out there as good as Brown has been. OScan has looked a step off though, so maybe Brown would move there.

Lol, whatever helps you feel like you were right. Don't blame me for you taking everything so literally. I wasn't aware /s was needed outside of reddit but guess there's a few everywhere.

Or Mo takes OScan's spot.

Let's end this and put it in terms you can understand. Numerous posters have stated that Free should be replaced/cut. It seems we both agree that is ridiculous. You posted the same thing about Free being replaced. I'm an intelligent guy, but I have not mastered the art of mind reading over a message board. For all I know, you could've been one of the morons calling for Free to be replaced/cut. You claim you aren't and were being sarcastic. That's fine, but I don't know you and had no idea if you were being serious. If you can't see my position, it's just because you don't want to.

What is it with this new strength and conditioning staff? We seem to have more back injuries now than ever before. Is it the technique they use or what? We must have had at least 6 or 7 back issues this year alone.

Anyone see where they are thinking of activating Collins from IR?
I got an alert on my phone, but haven't seen anything else about it. But haven't looked either.
There is an article in the newsfeed zone on this, but Jj and JG are basically saying that Collins will begin his 21 day practice window tomorrow and can be activated at any time during that window. I suspect they'll keep him inactive for the first PO game and activate him for the NFCCG, given that we get there. We'll see.

I think you can close the book on Lawrence long term. Three years into his career, at just age 24, he continues to have these back issues. He is not only unavailable a great deal of the time, but ineffective when he does play.

There is no way that this team should count on or commit to this player going forward. His spot should be considered as another need area. It's a shame for him, but this is a business.
If you remember when we drafted him he was 6'3" and around 250 lbs and was drafted to be our WDE/Ware replacement. He definitely had room to grow and bulk up some, but it looks like he's pushing 275 lbs these days. I wonder if the extra weight is putting too much strain on his natural frame and not necessarily causing, but contributing, to his back issues. With Irving showing signs of development, I'd personally like to see D-Law drop back down into the 260's and hopefully regain some juice/conditioning to be a complimentary pass rusher on either side, particularly with RG's future being so up in the air.

I do agree that his career arc isn't trending in the right direction for us to count on him beyond 2017.

I don't think it's a coincidence our pass rush suddenly improves when Demarcus Lawrence goes out with an injury.
yeah good point.
Thing is they drafted these 2 guys lawrence and gregory, and they are both basically busts, but they will keep playing them to
try and prove they were good picks.
This is a mistake, admit they were not good picks, and move on.

I think we have better guys, who might be on bench so these 2 can play poorly.
