Stinks to lose him, especially to them, as I thought his play was starting to turn the corner...

After the 2018 preseason games I thought he was gonna be Warren Sapp 2.0 then he disappeared the first few games of regular season. He's since come back to be ok but never really got far above that. I'd wish him well butt.......

And btw, I am my organization and though I may have thought about it a time or two, I don't think I'll ever fire me.

Yeah I remember watching that and thinking "Damn Geno and him are going to be a terror!"

Now just imagine him with Reader doing that in regular season...

And if we’re being unbiased they have a good record judging Defensive lineman talent.


Couple years ago when it was either Dunlap or MJ they chose correct and gave Dunlap the deal, MJ never had another great year. Drafted Geno, drafted Hubbard who imo has had a decent career for a young pass rusher, haven’t overpaid for anyone on the line since I’ve been a fan. Unless you could Antwan Odom but Odom was solid before injury that year



I’m willing to trust their judgement that Billings won’t get much better

Tupou will be a much less expensive option for now and they like what they have seen out of him, especially since Wren got next to no shot because of Tupou.  I would say that was a big reason in letting Billings go....

Had to be, and according to PFF Tupou had a very good year last year and now he can learn from the best in Reader.

Normally this would be a bummer. Until now
