All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Just wanted to gauge the interest in these two free agents. I know we have lots of money wrapped up in our ends, but I like Kalu's upside. With all the DT's getting franchised, Kennedy seems like a low-budget option that Ralph would opt to take.

Thoughts.......
We actually tried to sign Kennedy earlier this season but supposedly he declined a two year deal as only wanted a one year deal so not sure we'd go after him again. To me the best options at NT right now on the open market is Chuck Darby followed by Ellis Wyms, Ian Scott and Russell Davis.
In terms of Kalu, he isn't a bad option but keep in mine he's 32 so not sure how much of an upside he has. Though he's solid veteran depth but think give a guy like Al Wallace another chance being he's at least spent some brief time with the organization. That said a veteran DE isn't an immediate need in my eyes as think a healthy Ryan Denney and mid round rookie in 2008 can help make up for some of the problems we had last year.
It is very interesting that we might have looked to have signed Jimmy Kennedy because at 6ft4 and 320lbs, he's not exactly your proto-typical Tampa2 tackle.
Does this suggest that the team and front office have realised that no matter how much penetration you get into the backfied it cannot compensate for a lack of size?
If it does, then it could suggest that Sims, Balmer and Moore will be considered in depth come draft day, as they are bigger than our current tackles but have decent speed.
Most people did but the truth is PSU hasn't been churning out great NFL talent of late. See Kennedy, Arrington, Michael Haynes in recent memory that looked to be great players when in reality they were great college players. You could also add UFA Bryant Johnson to the mix as well to a certain degree. I know someone's going to bring up Poz but we still don't know how good/bad he is just yet.
