Life without Satele

AH,...YES...DHB. No reply needed for this one. Even my 7 year old niece wanted to know why he was still playing.

How about Case Keenum over Schaub? Russell Wilson over Matt Flynn signed freshly just that offseason to a 22(?)million dollar deal?

There are tons of examples to prove your post wrong.

Here's your post

It comes down to money and players salary hit (think of the jay cutler situation as another reference)...sad, but true. Ya' all see...GM'S across the league have a GOD COMPLEX and refuse to admit to huge mistakes, such as samson satele, so it doesn't matter if their back-up is vastly outplaying them or not. They will always start the player making the most dough, even though they clearly stink, just to vindicate their misguided move.

Try using less hyperbole next time.

PS: Don't forget Donald Brown over TRich.

To me, it sounds like Pagano is going through a transitional period with his players. 

 

He wants to take that next step, but that involves making tough decisions on players that play poorly or injured ones. 

 

And I think he is slowly finding out that sometimes he has to make those tough decisions to keep his job and to make a run to the Super Bowl. 

 

Even if that means benching an injured player because his back-up helps the team more.

That's because T-RICH is averaging less than 3 yards per carry, which is an ALLTIME LOW (ya' know...history) for the NFL (for starting RB'S) .

Sigh...

But none of that shouldn't matter because you said, "They will always start the player making the most dough, even though they clearly stink, just to vindicate their misguided move."

Are you understanding my point yet?

:funny: Sorry I just could not help it

I know it's funny now, but Bush & McFadden were a pretty successful running duo behind Oak's line when Satele was blocking up front there... 

 

Plus I have a lot of Polynesian/Samoan friends, so I like to see the Polynesian players do well in the NFL, at least Havili is pretty solid for the team... 

 

Watching a lot of international rugby, I have heard rugby announcers claim that Polynesians genetically have thicker skulls, wouldn't know it by watching Satele play...

    • Both Flacco and Ehlinger are free agents.  Uncertain about the long list of upcoming QB FAs that we could target next season.  Remember AR is still very raw only played one full season much like Caleb Williams in college with very similar snap count and production.  I do see the Colts looking for potentially two backup replacements but also someone very early in Round 2 as a backup (with strong upside as a starter a must).  Jalen Milroe (Alabama) is my top front-runner and may see his draft stock rise to early Round 1, but right now if he is available to us in Round 2 then he becomes our next Flacco/Minshew.  Either Grayson McCall or KJ Jefferson could be potential draft replacements for Ehlinger.    Right now, can see us next year go Edge again in Round 1.  Both Ebukam and Lewis will be in their 30's and contracts up at the end of 2025.  
    • I don't know. There's some potential late games. Lions, Steelers, Bills, Dolphins, Packers. Texans for sure
    • Agree, feels very late this year.    The NFL teams are preparing schedule release videos as we speak right now! 
    • Simmons is someone the NFL and every referee unit continues to have their eye on during every play. The moment he does a big hit (he usually doesn't care about how and where he hits), the league is gonna serve him a 4 game ban. He would spend most of the year suspended, unless he plays by rules which he doesn't seem to want.    Do you think Ballard gets that type of player, with year long availability in question? There's a reason he's available in FA, not because he's waiting, but because only the teams that are okay with his style of play and its consequences will get him before the start of the season. Not sure Colts is that team.
