Has Daniel Popper written anything about Vidal?

From his Roster Projection:

This competition is still wide open. Right now, I think Patterson and Spiller have the edge over Vidal. That could change through the final two weeks of camp and, most importantly, the last two preseason games.

Big dude!
Line 'em up 3 deep and let 'em compete!

BEEF . . . . . . . . . . . . never can have enough

Didn't see any such article posted, so here it is: Teair Tart, a human fire hydrant. Difference maker? Mmmmm... we'll see.

Los Angeles Chargers sign potential difference maker for defensive line (msn.com)

My understanding is he wasn't a scheme fit for the Dolphins.

That's the nice, neutral pablum that PR departments issue when a released player is involved in big personality clashes.

I'm thinking there's a 90% chance this applies here.

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

I got to watch him a bit in his last 2 years in Tennessee and he was a solid depth guy. Still young and definitely worth a look.

Joe Hortiz is making a low risk bet on the not-large possibility that Tart will be positively influenced by guys like Khalil Mack, and buy into the culture of hard work.

If he were to do that, then yes, I think he could make an important contribution.

Tart could be a solid add...chemistry/fit/coaching may produce an asset there...

Quarterman still puzzling to me...I thought our LB corp was looking pretty good...might be going heavy on LBs for special teams/new kickoff personnel types?

OK with this "churning" of the roster, right up to opening kickoff...but how about IOL? Jaimes just doesnt have it.

Bummed about my boy Vidal...whats the deal? I missed whatever injury he has...let me guess...he is "working through" something...

Tart...6-2, 304#...now THAT'S a stout piece of beef...if he's a decent run-stuffer, that's a good thing...

A personality clash is one possibility, yes...another possibility is he was mailing it in because the coach at the Fins already had his favorites...kind of like Staley's Birthday Boy Club...even Derwin started giving up towards the end, especially in that Raiders blowout loss...a third possibility is he was lazy like Lazy Gaither...let's hope Pop Tart catches fire and gives us some quality play...

I tend to think that means he’s a run stuffer not a pass rusher, so they let him go. Nobody seems to respect run stuffers anymore.

Carry 6 DTs? Which two go?

Ford, Ogbonnia, Fox, Matlock, Hinton, Tart, Clark?

I'd guess Hinton & Clark go.

Perhaps he's dispirited by the disrespectful mistreatment of NZ rugby players of indigenous Maori descent by their Pakeha oppressors.

maybe this is just another bullshit clickbait troll post that has hooked yet another school of fat lazy bottom-feeding grouper fish and we all shouldn't waste time randomly fabricating imagined guesses.

... or not - this is TPB after all. he could be the next Roy Fucking Kent for all I know. I expect he is good enough to find a spot in the 53, hence TRADER JOE just made another mid-TC roster upgrade that TT never would have made. Welcome to New LA!

I prefer 6 DTs to rotate frequently.
no superstars, just fresh big bodies.
