OT: Shaun Philips to be released today

[Ring 6]

The team had Wilfork and Chris Jones. The team has added Branch. The team will add Siliga. So, other than obvious passing downs, when would Easley see the field at DT?

All he plays is DT

 

[Ring 6]

Special teams never have enough depth, just due to the numbers situation. So, the question becomes whether Phillips can have an impact that's enough to overcome that.

On a team that already has 5 "DEs" (Jones, Ninkovich, Ayers, Easley, Moore), I don't see any way Phillips has such an impact.

Jones is injured
Easley is a DT
Moore is not good
Ayers is a lb

We gave one true healthy quality DE

 

[Ring 6]

Easley was playing both, and he's listed as a DE. I'd RATHER see him inside as well - as I think he gives you taht Geno Atkins-type of penetration, which will really make Chandler special, but if Nink or Jones went down, I am confident that 3rd man up at DE would be Easley.

I disagree but Easley is also injured anyway

 

[OhExaulted1]

No Easley is a DT.

Increasing the chance of winning the SB is more important to me than the chance a 6th round pick rookie who has played 74 snaps all year when the starter at his position has missed 4 games won't make it to the practice sqaud.
There will be 10 Moores in next years draft.

Actually I looked it up and there are only 2, and it looks like niether will get drafted.

I would take a flyer on him, he'd definitely be more useful than Moore right now.

 

[Mack Herron]

He's a Colt. Thanks for playing.

Thank God. Our long national nightmare is now over.

We have 12 DBs, and 12 LBs & DLmen combined. That is simply too unbalanced.
Waive one of Butler, Donald Jones or the Error Repeater in order to make room for another DE.
Case closed.

Check that, I'm thinking of the guy we had in the off season last year, Donald Jones the WR. He's referring to Don Jones the Safety. My mistake.

Phillips has been a Charger, a Bronco, and now a Colt. I sense a trend. Definitely not a Patriot.
