    Party pooper.
    The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

        Hey guys, Jet fan here...Plax really struggled in between the 20's for us last year but was an excellent red zone target for Sanchez. I'm not sure how much the lack of playing he's done so far this season will hurt him (kinda like the layoff he had before signing with the Jets) but other than the redzone, he MAY help on quick slants or plays where he can use his height...he struggled a bit to separate from corners...hope he contributes for you guys...

            Thanks for the insight, man! Welcome, Jet fan!
            Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

            Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

            We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

            We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                What do you think about the other Spartan we signed today, Brian Hoyer (ain't it weird that we might have a future Michigan State QB-WR connection based on today's signings...even though Plax is 8 years older than Hoyer)?

                    Plax will certainly play ahead of Gilreath IMO.

                            I like the Plax signing. I don't see him playing a lot unless we are approaching the endzone. Maybe not just the redzone but possibly around the 30-40 yard line as well.

                            Cotchery is hurt and so in Brown. Why not sign Plax? Now, you have Wallace, Sanders, Heath and Plax. That is still a dangerous combo. Add a healthy Brown and it pushes Plax to #4 on the depth chart. Plax against a #4 CB is a big matchup problem. Cotchery may be out awhile with the fractured ribs.
