According to Dehner, Reader was #1 on their FA board. They stayed in contact with his agents as soon as tampering opened. They also battled for Schobert. Definitely different times around here.

Still can’t believe we got this guy. This guy is a wall in the middle of the defense. Once they find another linebacker or two look out !!!

He's the guy they hoped Billings would be and he's all the way there and he's still young. I'm with you on every word you said.

Feel exactly the same, biggest move this team has ever made in Free Agency to improve the team in the trenches.

Everyone has been griping about our NT play for years. Nobody liked Peko. Everyone was itching for this kind of signing for the last decade. It only took 1 year for the new regime to get it right. Gotta give them props. But the work isn't done yet.

"They won't be able to double team both of us. I know that for a fact."
Geno eats one on ones for lunch.

I liked Peko, just didn't love the guy, he was a good run stopper and is a great man.

Oh I liked Peko too. He's a likeable guy. Great guy. I was just referring to most people on the boards complaining that he wasn't an elite NT.
We now have an elite NT. Get hyped baby!
(Gronk reference)

I definitely was a big pusher for improvement over Peko and thought Billings would be the ticket.
It is all good now, got the guy I wanted. READER!!!
Fred always called me a Peko hater BTW.

He was never elite, but he was way better than he got credit for.
He certainly didn’t deserve to be referred to as the “useless tub of goo” by half the board.

I never called him that, that is out of line.
