No. For better or worse, Te'o is our starting ILB of the future. He needs to be playing.

We can't say that based on his body of work right now. He was pretty unimpressive in the handful of plays he was in for in the first preseason game.

[Den60]

Does it matter? I didn't realize this season was super bowl or bust. It's in our best interest to play all these young guys and let them take their lumps.

I do have to point out that you were one that said this team would be better by subtraction. Now it sounds like you are ready to concede the season.

[Den60]

Not sure why Weddle isn't shredded for giving up a TD to the same person (Daniels).

Oh, you say something negative about Weddle on here and you get shredded.

[QSmokey]

So why are we going to pay Butler the big bucks?

Who said that we were? Each day that passes with no extension means that's one day closer to Butler going elsewhere.

But not until he's healthy. There is NO need to rush him back into the lineup this season, for obvious reasons.

Reports were they weren't going to negotiate an extension during the season. Which sounds like something AJ would do so hopefully it's not true.

And I still think that, doesn't mean I don't see the big picture.

Oh I agree, but he needs to be starting as soon as he's heathy.

Fixed

Fixed

Wasn't it Butler's agent that said they don't want to negotiate during the season?

[oneinchpunch]

Fixed

Not really. AJ would negotiate during the season. I just meant it sounded like some ridiculous hardball stance like the ones AJ was always putting in place

[Heatmiser]

Time for Bird to bear the Bront of this defense!

(ode to Mister Hoarse. How did I do, Hoarsy?)
