Quote:The bolded above is why you're impossible to have a discussion with.  You ignore what i'm saying, make stuff up, and go on tangents.  I never said anything about replacing Marks.

 

Depth chart's change. Intent 6 months ago doesn't.  This is clear as can be.  If you don't see it, I really can't further explain it to you.

 

Quote:Last season Tyson played 471 snaps at his primary position, backing up Red Bryant at left defensive end.  This offseason, he was resigned with the intent of playing LDE and adding depth to the line.  He was not signed to backup the injured Marks.  That's what i'm saying Joe.  You complained that we didn't sign a qulity replacement for Marks while he was injured, sighting Marks as the solution.  It's just not entirely true, as you've come around to agree with me on.

Dude, did you really think I meant Tyson was signed to actually REPLACE Marks?

 

Let me break it down for you, yet again. You said;

 

"Your original point, if i must remind you, was that Caldwell resigned Alualu to backup Marks.  That's just false."

 

"My original point was that Caldwell signed Alualu to replace Marks? My point was that Alualu was signed as depth." Im sorry if the word " replace" threw off. I'll use the phrase "fill in for" next time.

 

That was not my original point. My original point was that Alualu was signed as depth. I literally quoted myself saying that 2 posts ago.

 

" Gus Bradley's 'quality depth' signing was Tyson Alualu..."  He was signed because he is a "versatile" player, meaning he is capable of playing MORE THAN ONE POSITION. He was signed as a LDE because that is his OFFICIAL POSITION, did you not know Alualu was going to play some three tech this year?

 

What is with all this Ziggy Hood talk? He was signed BEFORE Marks got hurt. How does that justify you not signing another depth player? He was already on the roster when Marks was 100% healthy.
