Here's the waiver wire but it doesn't say what other teams made claims on a player.Anyone know if there were any other claims made for McCall besides ours?
There’s no official record, but it’s often “leaked” to reporters the following day.Anyone know if there were any other claims made for McCall besides ours?
It costs the Pats 2.5 million more to cut Godchaux - the hit would be almost 13 million. He leads the team each year in snaps on the DL.Don't know yet if this is just a case of taking a free look at somebody who played almost every game as a rookie UDFA, or if this is more serious than that and one of Carl Davis, The Big Guy or Godchaux is in trouble...
Aaaaaaaand he’s gone.
Godchaux was getting embarrassed in Green Bay the other night. I don't know why Bill is so in love with that guy.Yeah I like this claim; They've had chances the last couple or so years to add somebody with this body type but have until now chosen to ignore them... Maybe their poor run defense this preseason has woken them up to Reality...

NOOOO!!! There goes my big fatty.
Maybe but Davis was doing a fantastic job impersonating a turnstile at age 31ish.Godchaux was getting embarrassed in Green Bay the other night. I don't know why Bill is so in love with that guy.
That run defense has a whole was a mess.Maybe but Davis was doing a fantastic job impersonating a turnstile at age 31ish.
Because he is good and it's a preseason game.Godchaux was getting embarrassed in Green Bay the other night. I don't know why Bill is so in love with that guy.

Davis had problems against GB. That was mentioned by some of the media and I’m pretty sure it didn’t slip by BB. Davis has been “ok” against the run the past couple years but maybe the team wanted a change. I don’t see it as a hot take.These all feel like exaggerations IMO. They gave up 4.1 ypc. 4.4 if you only want to count the 7 runs by the starters Jones and Dillon. Hardly stout, I'm sure they want to be better, but "embarrassed" and "a mess" are just being hyperbolic. 4.4 ypc would have been ranked middle of the pack last year as a run defense. 4.1 would have been tied for 4th.
Davis was playing late into that Green Bay game, the Packers certainly weren't having a lot of success running directly at him, they had to go around him. I think this signing might have been to light a fire under Davis for one more season, he is a player who always needed some motivation. He's been great against the run in limited snaps, that's what they pay him for, 10-12 snaps a game.... 3rd and short and goal line.Davis had problems against GB.

Is he though?Because he is good and it's a preseason game.
You just made my point and I agree. He played well against the run in the past but he lost a step and you’re not the only one to see it obviously.Maybe he's lost a step, if so they should be able to find another big fatty after roster cutdowns. Teams can't afford to roster multiple one dimensional run stuffers.
