Saints sign Josh Ball off practice squad

[gimmesix]

Addition by subtraction. Guy has been terrible from day one.

Although he has sucked at tackle, he has played well at guard in the preseason. I don't think it is a terrible signing when it costs them nothing to take a look.

Ball had no business even being on the taxi squad, esp after his august preseason performance of 2023.

Didn’t he improve when moving to guard? I thought he was a disaster at tackle

I hope Guyton doesn’t end up like this .

Where did this come from?

 

[gtb1943]

GLAD he is FINALLY GONE
NOW get rid of Edoga

Where did this come from?

Edoga playing over your # 1 pick
Reps he should be getting to progress . I haven’t heard of injury . I liked the pick still do I think the line looks better with Guyton can’t understand his not playing down the stretch .

And Waletzco . Thomas & Richards can replace both .

And Waletzco . Thomas & Richards can replace both .

I know they were later picks … but ridiculous to keep Ball and Waletzko around and get nothing from them

He sucks and was suspended for DV while in Florida. Not sure how he even had a PS spot let alone was drafted in the 4th round.

 

[Runwildboys]

..so bad ***, they wrote song about him. "Balls to the wall".

I don't Accept those kinds of puns.

No one would give you anything

What is thus front office doing?!?

All bad attempts at jokes are not puns.

I'm guessing you don't know that the song he mentioned was performed by Accept. I was the one actually punning.

Sorry. I meant by letting them play haha

 

[AbeBeta]

So a pun or reference has to be to something people might recognize -- otherwise, it is just you and your Dungeons and Dragons buddies giggling (while totally not getting with the ladies or dudes, no judgement there). I apologize if I have underestimated the cultural relevance of Accept.

If the Cowboys only had a crystal Ball they could have seen this move by the Saints coming.

Maybe I'm thinking of Pozderek.

You haven't underestimated their cultural relevance. (I personally don't even like the band) But those who know the song, such as I assume the poster I quoted does, would get it.

Pun:
a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings.

 

[Creeper]

I actually liked Ball at RG in preseason. He looked pretty good there, but it was preseason. My concern with him was his injury history.

I am curious to see if he plays for the Saints and how he does. Time will tell if Dallas lost anything in this transaction.

Ball is a JAG. No big loss IMO.
