Interesting. I would have expected an offensive player or a DB, instead it's yet another DL.

There has to be more to come. That's so many DTs for a team that has often only had one on the field at a time.

Wow!

12 Defensive Linemen

BB apparently wants to do a 11 DL formation.

Pats playing musical chairs on their PS is anybody really safe on their P.S. *keep your bags packed*.

Hill's an interesting guy. He's 6'3" 215 and I remember him being tapped as a 1st round pick going into his junior season in 2013 at Arizona, and then he blew out his knee.

What's to know about this Brandon Dixon guy on the PS?

Drafted by Jets in 2014 6th round. Was cut after training camp. Has been on Tampa Bay, Seattle and Indy's practice squads. Has 9 tackles and an INT in NFL. Not sure when or where he got his INT. Here's some scouting reports.

Getting a good jam with press coverage on the outside?

Austin Hill is a guy I really root for. He was a terrific prospect who blew out his knee in college and never looked quite the same. By all accounts he's a high-character guy who really worked at the nuances of his position -- strong route runner, strong blocker. His dad was an NFL tight end.

Their next opponent is the Dallas Cowboys with arguably the best OL in the NFL and a backup QB. If Hicks can go, they might activate him as well to match beef with even more beef.

Mr Hill if he lasts won't learn our Playbook anytime too soon hope to hear about him over the Offseason.

BB has a plan with all these lineman and if it works watch all the other teams try to copy it.

NOOoOoOoOOoOo ! Bill, it's a trap ! Jerrah told us all that Weeden throws the most beautiful ball ! All those DLs are gonna be useless.
