Because of the Barnetts injure Poppinga is moved to MLB.
Good move?

Well he sucks as a OLB, so we might as well try him there.

This might work, seeing as he's not well-suited for the outside.

Actually, I think I like this move. He's a thumper. Can hold up well in run-support.

Did Maurice Simpkins get activated off of the Practice Squad yet?

EDIT - I see that Simpkins is activated. I liked what I saw out of him in the preseason, maybe he can come in and lift this defense a bit. That'd be quite the story.

Simpkins always looked really slow to me in preseason, I hope we don't get in such bad shape that he has to actually get on the field.

I have no idea. Has Poppinga ever played ILB?

I highly doubt it. I've never seen him playing inside with the Packers and at BYU he played Defensive End

Brady Popinga has been moved to inside linebacker from outside to provide depth in light of Barnett's situation.

Popp played LOLB in the 4-3 and was above average to good at times. I would imagine the two positions are at least somewhat similar.

Either way, I think he'll provide good depth. OLB will still be an issue though.

Zero2Cool (1m) : what

Martha Careful (10h) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (10h) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : The method for measuring first downs in the NFL will switch from chain gangs to camera-based technology in 2025, the league announced.

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : A big step in the right direction. Just put in the college system is very very good.

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : NFL has passed a rule that allows both teams to possess the ball in OT during the regular season

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : Touchbacks on kickoffs will now bring the ball to the 35-yard line.

beast (31-Mar) : It might of gotten more popular recently, but braiding hair (even men) in certain cultures goes back for centuries.

Martha Careful (30-Mar) : Is men braiding their hair a new style thing? Watching the NCAA men's tournament many players have done

Zero2Cool (29-Mar) : Ha. Well, it'd be nice for folks to reset their own password. Via validated email 😏

earthquake (27-Mar) : Nothing eventful happened, other than it being clear that he was a bengals fan

earthquake (27-Mar) : And we went and hung out with him one afternoon, I must have been 9 or so
