Well here is something that peaks my interest. Apparently, in anticipation of acquiring Marcus Stroud, the Buffalo Bills have released DT Larry Tripplett.
You may know the name, he is a former Husky and a 2nd round pick. He is only 29 and has been in the league for 6 years with the Colts and Bills. He was only due to make 1.65 million this year. In this market for DT's, he might be a valuable pick up for the rotation.
He sounds like a Ruskell guy to me, to read the scouting report....
2007 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 70 | Key
Alert: None
Comment: Tripplett is a fifth-year veteran with above average size and good athletic ability. He plays hard and shows good strength to anchor in the middle. He plays with good pad level and powerful hands to stymie blockers at the point of attack. Tripplett can push the pocket and generate power with his up-field leg drive. He is instinctive when feeling pad pressure and when pressing back into the blocker to squeeze the hole. He has good first-step quickness and can gain leverage with his hands and body position. Tripplett has good foot quickness, balance and lateral agility in the tackle box. He can be disruptive working the edge of blockers and penetrating gaps. He is effective when stunting and drawing the double team often. He is not a big play maker but is effective as a run defender enabling linebackers to scrape and run free. Tripplett is a good football player and has fit in well with the Buffalo defensive scheme.
Josh is a DAMN RAM

Mike, is there way to make the assclown of the hour post bigger? I think it should be well known that Josh Brown is a sellout. We should organize a Josh Brown Jersey burning!
ReplyDeleteOr a biggest assclown poll, with Josh Brown being the only option.
ReplyDeleteApparently he was tired of winning and had no problem going to the festering suckfest that IS the Rams.
ReplyDeleteSee ya later. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya ...
The Hawk's made him a good offer. Wonder what happened?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the FO jacked him around too much and he walked. Would be interesting to find out what went down.
Good luck Josh.
Everyone is interested in Josh Brown, not me, he's no longer a Hawk. Tripplet sounds like someone we could give PART of what we were going to give Josh Brown. That's why he left, he wanted to get more than a decent DT, and he is just a kicker.

I would love to see Tripplett in Seahawks Blue. He seems like a Seahawk -- good guy, hard worker, and a run defense guy primarily. Tubbs, Tripplett, Mebane, and Rocky trading snaps? Gimme a break! (That is, of course, assuming that Tubbs can play which, of course, is a terrible assumption given his history...)
ReplyDeleteMr. Triplett:
ReplyDeleteEx-Husky
Blew out Dilfer's knee in the first preseason game of 2002...
We were moving the ball pretty well, too. He (Triplett) might've set back our rise to the top about half of a season - thank God Hasselbeck finally turned it around.
Okay, enough memories... I'll take him (at the right price)...
Josh Brown jersey burning? Who would buy that jersey in the first place?
ReplyDeleteHopefully the Hawks will score touchdowns and leave the FGs to the Rams...
Also, a certain team from New England decided they could survive without overpaying one Adam Vinatieri...
For the record: I liked Josh very much as our kicker but understand and trust our FO on this one.
