Fantasy Island Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hopefully he can fill in for a Becton. Going to take a while to find a save point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there are no typos and he really allowed 2 sacks in 87 snaps... that is not great. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 He ain't that baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, not the goat by any means though, I hope he does not try to fleece us with his contract asks. Ewe would think his agent might try and pull the wool over our eyes and ram a deal through. I kid I kid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Extremely underwhelming but in line with leave no stone unturned philosophy. Hoping it’s more of a message to Riley Reiff that we aren’t just sitting back and waiting. However, we cannot leave our season’s success to the hope that Becton and Fant will both get and remain healthy. If this is truly the backup plan, then I’m concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestater Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 More likely a replacement for Edoga or McDermott 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 My hope is that the line is strong enough to manage one backup coming in for a small amount of time but I still think we need a starting level backup like Moses last year. We got quite lucky with him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Vet swing tackle with some starting experience. Strikes me as the kind of guy you want in camp as a floor in case of injuries or Mitchell absolutely sucking. Could be a likely upgrade over McDermott or Edoga and they are both FA for 2023 anyway. Same age as McDermott and has more experience than either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys you'd be okay seeing play a couple quarters or maybe filling in for one game throughout the season but not the type of guys you'd want starting a bunch of games like a Morgan Moses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a revolving door. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D definitly gets the benefit of the doubt after seeing player successes under his watch who were unheard of, undrafted, cut, and all of the above like Berrios, JFM, Fant, Huff, and Quincey Williams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 FWIW, I knew plenty about Fant before he signed here. I knew this guy's name, but nothing else about him. I probably would not have been able to tell you his position. All Sun Belt Conference the same time as Elijah McGuire. Most of you probably remember this: He is your typical cap casualty. He was getting solid money to ride the bench. No shame in being the swing tackle for the Titans and Browns. Houston was 11-5 the year he started. I am pretty sure that they still have an outstanding offer to Reiff, but this guy is a vet with experience. He is also only coming in for a visit. They didn't even sign him yet.

He started at RT for the Texans in 2018 (13 starts) and did pretty well (about average or a little above average). He's appeared in 31 games since for Cleveland and Tennessee but only started 4 of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
