Well you have to factor in we have two games in four days. Lawrence and bosworth and maybe Wilber will play ahead of lemon I bet, but we have to have guys here to dress and at the minimum play special teams.

I'd turn Lemon into a fullback. :D

i wouldnt expect you to understand, the board needs more snippy, but lets put it in something you can understand. Your season is over, i dont care what you think, ponder, have stats on, NOR what past memories you have, we arent winning the SB, we arent in the hunt and we are probably not even considering the playoffs, unless the other teams force us into it, which i doubt. So what does signing Lemon offer you INSTEAD of putting the effort into a player that is worth it OR dare i say, saving the money for other issues.

Is Lemon going to give us that boost into the playoffs, No,

Is he the piece missing from this glorified SB run we are on? No

Is he going to be the future worht investing in? No


So what is the point to signing him and putting effort into a player we already know about who doesnt play in our scheme?

You appear to be the one who lacks understanding

So you want to dress 5 lbers sunday? Who else would you have liked to sign?

id try an undrafted, id try looking at all the PS around the league and finding that guy who hasnt had a chance yet, id offer to give someoen a chance who hasnt gotten one. The season is done, JJ has packed in it, okay thats fine, now lets worry about the offseason and next year and if you can , try to find something new, churn the stones and find something. Why does it have to be a retread? The years over, you lost, suck it up, go back to the drawing board, if the guy doesnt pan out, you didnt lose anything, but at least you gave someone a chance, someone who might have a higher ceiling or passion or something, but lords, another retread, wow are we goign to find something or Lemon we ddint see before? Most likely not, so give someoen who might be better suited for the scheme or give someone a shot.

So you expect JG to just mortgage everything for the future and get fired? He fits because the coaches know him and he is probably a decent ST player.

I would actually like to see Church moved up and use Heath and Wilcox as safeties. Church doesn't have the range to cover passes and IMO he could be better used as a WLB.

Church playing closer to the line is going to be part of what we do. We aren't moving him to LB though, we'll just be playing nickel a good bit more - particularly if we can stop the run in the .05$ Having Mo back - regardless of how people feel about - makes that possible

I for one, am happy we have him back. We'll be able to press the receivers more.

Doesn't matter. It will take him about a week, if that, to adjust. Especially in our 4-3. A middle schooler could figure this out in a day.

sadly the opposing offenses are run by graduates and they know it better than us.................

So you should just give up and not try and improve your team? That's a great way to handle your organization going forward. To keep a loser mentality up.

explain to me what you are tryig to improve, are you trying from going from 8-8 to 9-7, not really an improvement.

My statement is Lemon is not going to be the cataclist to get us to the next level, WHY not try someone else?
