Freddie's Dead Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 My guess is that ToG (Tub o' Goo) is overweight and out of shape. I doubt you could motivate him with a cattle prod up the ying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dareus is still considered the best FA DT. People do change for better or worse. I honestly feel Rex and Doug (pt2) were both bad fits for him. You can't deny the fact his first 4 seasons under the right coaching staff and scheme he was a top 5DT in the league as well. I don't know for sure obviously, but I think Dareus did something in the locker room that qualified as a Bridge Burning Act in McDermott's eyes. I think his welcome mat is worn out and in the trash compactor. But I could be wrong.

He is 30 years old and can likely still be, if motivated, a big part of a great defense. No risk, but a big reward possible here. If 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really reaching at this phase as I think most our D issues are at the DT and MLB position right now after re-watching a couple of these games. I just don't see a solution at this unless we make a trade and drop serious future assets. Edited October 16, 2020 by Real McNasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was truly a bad fit, he would be employed by now because other teams would recognize this. Dareus hurts your defense because he takes plays off and is lazy. That’s why he’s not even a depth player right now. He’s probably done in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Dareus still a free agent? What are you even talking about? We just contained Jacobs and Henry. Run defense is not the issue. Linebacker depth is. And also containing the edges on the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Marcell Dareus is first on the list. Another similar suggestion was made on a Cincinnati Bengals blog. So some people think he might be a viable option...

Just not sure how many of those descriptions actually fit Marcel at this stage. So a different person than he ever ven was? Lol. I remember meeting him at work after his rookie year i talked to him a bit. I joked with him asking can I pencil you in for 10 sacks. He promised me 14 sacks his second year.

Scott7975 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Dude was lazy in football. He is probably an out of shape slug right now smoking weed and eating dorritos on his couch. No thanks. There is a reason this team got rid of him. There is a reason he is not on a team now. We need help but Dareus isn't it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 We need guys who actually want to play like Zimmer. Yes, Covid sucks but McDermott and Beane look to have a bunch of guys on the defensive side who look like they don’t want to be there. Dareus would most likely be another one of those. I’d keep pulling up guys from the practice squad and getting street free agents who are hungry for a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only explanation I have is that he just wants to play for Seattle.............a lot of players gravitate to Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll thinking that the Seattle is always going to be in position to have a shot at the SB. And he might just be on the PS getting into shape. He quit in Detroit because he was frustrated with the losing. He left a lot of money on the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
