Why the hate?

 

I did my research from Bears fans and seem to think he is a reasonable guard but injuries is the main concern and the main reason he got cut from the Dolphins. Maybe since the ACL tear his performance hasn't been the same?

He was terrible before the injury.

Yea he is. He's worse than McGlynn.

 

 

 

I doubt that. I seen Louis play in Chicago and like I said, he was nothing special but he was not terrible and he would be no worse than McGlynn at guard if he could stay healthy. With that said, I certainly wouldn't want him starting for us and I highly doubt he was brought in for that role.

What is a reserve/future contract again?

Basically, when a player is signed to “reserve/futures” contracts means they are being signed for the upcoming season even though that season does not officially begin until the official start of the league’s new year as outlined by the NFL. Only players who were not on any NFL team’s active roster when the previous season ended are eligible for these types of contracts. If they were under contract, then they would remain so until the league’s new year starts. Players who were on practice squads at the end of the season are eligible to sign with any team. Hence the reason that you see many practice squad players being signed by their current team for the upcoming year to a reserve/futures contract. That way the team can continue to work with a player they’re familiar with and hopefully get them ready for an eventual roster spot on game day.

Basically a contract to get you into OTA/training camp

You must have watched his best game or somthing because this guy is just awful. He couldn't make it as a depth player on the Bears awful oline.

He gave up more sacks, hits and hurries in 2011 than McGlynn did this year in like 120 less pass blocks.

That being said, he's camp fodder so it doesn't really matter anyway.

Nah, I think he is a slight upgrade over Mcglynn, not a starter but better depth then Mcglynn, watching him now I think he gets to the 2nd level consistently well but not a mauler in the run game....Better suited for a Zone scheme in my opinion but was pretty stout in pass blocking in 2012.....2 sacks allowed, 7 pressures...But only 11 games

Mcglynn thinks that is a good game.

I'm really starting to worry about Grigson after reading all the comment's on this guy Grigson 2nd year was a disaster

 

Right....

 

He's put together a roster for two years that's only won 23 games, including one in the playoffs...

 

And in his first year he had to do that without $40 Million to spend because of Dead Cap money issues.

 

And you're really starting to worry?    Really??

 

Grigson's 2nd year was a disaster?   Is this supposed to be sarcasm that I'm not getting,  because otherwise,  you lost me....

Yeah, give the guy a chance to see what he can do in the OTAs and camps.

Hey, at least we can say that Grigson has seen the holes on this roster and is already trying to gain depth there. Although this guy may not be any good, at least we can see what he's got, right?

That's right. If he's better than our worst G currently on the roster, then it's a good pickup.

We're going to end up with 90 guys on the roster by August. A lot of them are just going to be camp bodies.

So tell me what great free agents and draft picks did you like in his second year

Do you even watch football? We are a team that led the league in IR players. 2 years removed from a new coaching staff and huge overhaul to the team and still managed to win a playoff game much less make it to the playoffs. You people fricken kill me.

    • Hey Everyone,   So, I just caught wind of Goodson's apology letter after dropping that short pass from Minshew against the Texans last season. Here's my humorous take on the situation:   "Dear Fans, Coaches, Teammates, and Supporters,   I'm writing to apologize for buttering up that short pass in the most critical moment against the Texans. Look, I know I'm the backup running back, but hey, I'm usually good for catching those short throws - emphasis on 'usually'. My bad for turning a routine play into a blooper reel moment.   To my teammates, sorry for making you wonder if I was secretly playing for the other team. Next time, I'll practice catching more than just footballs thrown by the water boy.   To the coaches, maybe let's reconsider throwing short passes to guys who have hands that are more slippery than a greased pig at the county fair. Just a suggestion.   And to the fans, thanks for turning my drop into a meme. I promise to work on my catching skills so I can make highlights, not lowlights, next season.   Sincerely, Goodson (aka the running back who should stick to running)"   Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but you get the gist. Let's hope Goodson has been hitting those catching drills hard this offseason!
    • I remember looking for highlights of TJ after we drafted him.  I kept finding videos of him following OJ Howard into the endzone.  Not sure if Howard was his responsibility, but it didn't paint a promising picture.
    • Ballard,   So, yeah, about that whole "bust" thing—I guess the cat's out of the bag. Turns out, I'm more of a popcorn fart than a thunderclap. My bad.   When you drafted me, I thought I was gonna be the Colts' next big thing. You know, sacking quarterbacks, making highlight reels, maybe even getting my face on a cereal box someday. But instead, I've been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.   I've watched the tapes, Coach. I've seen the memes. They're comparing my NFL career to a hangover—starts off with high hopes, and ends with regret and a lot of Gatorade. And honestly, I get it. I'm like that guest who shows up to a party uninvited and ends up eating all the chips.   So, here's my mea culpa. I apologize for not living up to the hype. For every missed tackle, every missed sack, and that one time I accidentally tackled our own quarterback in practice (sorry, Philip). I'm like the guy who brings a guitar to a party and insists on playing Wonderwall—I'm annoying and not nearly as good as I think I am.   But hey, I'm not giving up. I'm hitting the gym, studying film (mostly bloopers at this point), and practicing my touchdown dance for when pigs finally fly. I promise to work harder and maybe, just maybe, I'll redeem myself and earn my place in the Hall of Mediocrity.   Thanks for believing in me, and letting me live my dream for 4 years straight whilst simultaneously producing nothing for your team. I'll make you proud yet, even if it's just by being the team's MVP of Bust Central, and we aren't talking bronze heads.    Sincerely, Ben "The Bust" Banagous (Not sponsored by Gatorade yet, but a guy can dream)
    • if you scream MODS! in anything I write,  I might get in trouble. hahaha
    • MODS!  This should be enough to force you to bring back the laughing emoji option!   Funny stuff!
