They say it was a bar fight but Moore wasn't at fault...........it was the Thursday night before the SF game ........ he was named inactive for that game

Interesting. Yeah, somebody--Broaddus or Mickey or one of them--alluded yesterday to Moore 'knowing he was in the wrong' about whatever it was.

It's a shame. He wasn't an impact player, but he was a guy I thought had a chance to make a surprise contribution for us this year. If the story is true, though, no issue with his release.

What's the deal with Mayowa, then? Any chance the two of them were together? It's strange to sit two active vets at the same position the same week to give their snaps to an underperforming rookie when neither guy did anything particular on the field to earn deactivation.

Whatever the off field incident was, it sounded like it was sufficient reason to part ways and that Moore knew he screwed up. Kinda curious to know the details here.


Me too. Still haven't heard what it was.

Didn't hear anything about Ben but it probably had something to do with us controlling the clock for most of the game........ the D wouldn't face as many snaps and the rotation could handle less guys

Yeah, but to have him inactive? I could see not playing him in that game to get Taco the snaps, but it seems like something is up there, too. Either he's getting a kick in the pants like he got last season, they're making the conscious decision to up Taco's reps, or something happened outside of football they weren't too happy with.

Taco did go from 8 snaps vs GB to 38 vs SF

The core 4 of DLaw-79%, TCrawford-58%, MCollins-59% and DIriving-56% are handling most of the snaps

I don't think I've ever heard Marinelli say anything negative about a player. Has he ever said someone wasn't doing his job?

He must have, because he coached an 0-16 team once.

In the middle of this interview they asked Marinelli about Demontre Moore. He said he was doing fine but Garrett made the decision to cut him.



Blimey!
If D. More was doing "fine" then maybe Marinade is the primary problem on the D.
Marinade, at the very least, has set the bar low. Low as in 20th in the league.

They only had 7 DL active. They've always had 8 active in the Marinelli era.

Never...

Just one time I'd like to hear him say...the guy sucks.. Just one time.

Hell...he probably still thinks that 0-16 Lions team was pretty good.:rolleyes:

You could start your own team. Your top offensive player Kellen Moore and top defensive player Paul Dawson are available...

Honestly none of these punks have worked out. Not a single one. I’m all for bringing on talent but the bringing in defensive ends with history’s is getting old. I admit I was in total support of Hardy but atleast he had pro bowls on his resume

That may be possible. Taco really hasn't shown anything to merit getting the snaps, at least based on what we are seeing in live games.

No he hasn't, but in this "play 1st picks immediately" world we live in now I can see it.
