Between Geathers and Worthington there will be many batted balls.

Ahh, if only we could get Clifton to need a toothpick:

Quote:

Jumpy was a big D-lineman that no one seemed to be able to motivate, control or get much out of, so they'd resorted to screaming and hollering at him. That might have worked, if Jumpy was, say, another guy. But Jumpy's early childhood trauma had been a father figure screaming at him. He went into a shell if you did that. Blew you off. And Joe Gibbs instinctively realized this. I can still see and hear him now on the sidelines, when the physically-gifted Jumpy ran out on the field for the playoff games that led to one of those three Super Bowl wins.

"Way to go, Jump-pay!" hollered Joe Gibbs. And Jumpy looks over at him, smiles, and proceeds to eat the offensive line alive, then comes off the field and asks Joe if he has a toothpick on him.

I loved this signing. Obviously its not a headline by any stretch, but the kid is a massive human being at 6'8 340lbs. He just turned 26 in december, he is young and large. Adds much needed depth to our older Dline and if anything can stick his hands up and bat a ball if he gets in there. Just more young depth, which is always good.

A lot of people getting hyped about his size, but it won't matter if he's Fatal Bert 2.0 on the field. Idk if he even makes it out of preseason. Given his size, I'd love it if this is the year things come together for him, but I'm in wait-and-see mode on this one.

Id rather have Jumpy Geathers

Who wouldn't? If the coaches can light a fire on this kid, he could be devastating. I would love to see that, Jumpy "the forklift" II.

YES. WOnderful signing. If im not mistaken, didn't the seahawks lead the league in batted balls? Im pretty sure they did. And they signed the highest amount of players that have been on over 6 teams in under 4 years.

Slowly, we are building a winner.

Seriously, did this mother fucker even watch tape on us last year? Fucking Geathers and Bruce fucking Campbell? God fucking damn it, I was gonna wait before I got worried, but fuck the rosy outlook, what is this guy doing?

Guys like this, Campbell , and even S Moss will have to prove they can even make the 53 man squad. This guys seems a lot like Merling last year, but won't make the 53 like he did due to suspensions.

Mechanix544 · 03-15-2014, 11:51 AM

Why are we going so ridiculously heavy at DLine? I know it all starts up front, and that a good pass rush helps out the secondary, yadda yadda yadda, but we need a frikkin safety, period. Anyone remember the beginning of last year? On pace to allow the most yards through the air and passing TD's for a while? Is that now not a concern because a little time has passed?

If we had a better pass rush last year, especially from the d-line, some of those issues in the secondary would have been covered up. The Green Bay game always comes to my mind, we couldn't get any rush up the gut and they went to a quick hitting passing game and Rodgers picked us apart all day long.

Safety is still a major concern.

We had a lot of holes to fill in FA and Allen has filled many of them. Of course, what's left to do is with safety. We likely won't acquire a quality starts-this-year safety outside of a draft or FA miracle, so it appears that we are stuck with another year of average-at-best safety play. But we can acquire roughly average safeties as late as training camp. So there is reason to be sad about safety but no reason to panic.
