Mr. Hughes sounds like a good run-stopper. We're going to need all the help we can get up front on Sunday.

Apparently, the team doesn't think that Valentine or Johnson is ready to start in case of an injury.

It often takes a DL a year to develop. Hughes has that time behind him.

Valentine has been playing quite a lot. They have a three-man rotation at DT. I think this is more that they saw an upgrade over Johnson, and wanted better depth.

Against a run intensive team like the bills...I see why they made the move....I am sure he will be gone...the following week...

If they keep him until October, he's gonna look "pretty in pink". Hopefully he doesn't eat too many "breakfast club" sandwiches. I'm assuming since he just signed, his family won't come and he'll be "home alone".

Sorry guys, that's all I've got. Unfortunately for you guys, I'll be here all week.
