The #Giants are going to be signing DT Armon Watts to the active roster, per source. He was signed to their practice squad last week.

Watts has played in 72 regular season games with 22 starts for Vikings, Bears and Steelers. Other teams were eyeing Watts on the Giants p-squad.

"Other teams were eyeing him."

That sounds like either justification for signing him to the 53 or some straight up bullshit. What does that mean? How would any team know, especially the Giants. Do other teams call and say you better promote him or we're going to sign him? What team in their right mind would remove a potential player from their roster due to loose lips?
I think he was coming up anyway

We have DTs on the roster he's better than and we need help at the positions.
Isn't he

the "hulking" one?

Can he play LT?
Why not? He can’t be any worse than the other DL

does it really matter? A tree just fell in the woods.
More bargain basements moves by a team up against the cap

with a bottom of the league roster!

Less for more is the name of the game for the Giants.
Needs to be said

Quite an impression over the last week. Or our front office overestimates talent
Sy gave him a decent write-up  
edavisiii : 10/21/2024 6:31 pm : link
coming out of college. Was a late bloomer, very physical. Good lower body strength, led Arkansas in sacks his senior year. Sy's comp was A'Shawn Robinson who I think we miss. Eric said something similar a week ago about missing Robinson. He is not going to flip the season but he could be a good runstopper who contibutes in the rotation.
some other good teams thought

Film Room: NEW Steelers DL Armon Watts adds pass rush juice to Pittsburgh's defense - ( New Window )
I'd prefer Charlie Watts, Overend Watts *, even "Watts Going On," but  
Waldo Jeffers : 10/21/2024 11:55 pm : link
as was observed by Charlie's bandmate,"You Can't Always Get Watts You Want."
Peter Overend Watts, founding member and bass player for the GREAT Mott the Hoople - fascinating guy, silver hair, thigh high boots and - true fact, later in life he became a long-distance walker (even wrote a book about it,) but I digress.

Since Charlie and Overend (true middle name:much more Rock'N'Roll than Peter,) have sadly passed, I'll settle for Naomi. Naomi, on the chance you're a BBI regular, get in touch, ask for Jeff.

I have never cared much for reality, but that's never put a crimp in reality's insistence on being, um, real, so bring on Armon, and his doppelganger, Baking Soda Prince, Armon Hammer.

Good luck, Arm, (IMHO, "Arm" is a shitty nickname, but as far as "body part nicknames go, it sure beats "Dick.")

Personal observation; once one types the words, "beats Dick," in a BBI post, one should cease typing and go for a walk.

BONUS FACTOID: In 1972, Arm & Hammer launched an advertising campaign promoting the idea that a box of baking soda in the refrigerator could control odors.

The campaign is considered a classic of marketing, leading within a year to more than half of American refrigerators containing a box of baking soda.

Does it actually "control odors?" in your fridge?

According to several sorta scientific sites,
"Baking soda is rather poor at absorbing smells.

Activated charcoal is exceptionally good.

Neither works well in a refrigerator simply because there is nothing moving air past the chemical so that it could absorb the smells.

It's a tiny box with an opening of a few square inches, usually against a back wall, that gets almost no air flow. It is especially not effective at absorbing the odors of vomit or urine."

So, you might consider finding a better odor absorbing method than baking soda.

Of course, if your fridge smells like vomit or urine, you probably have bigger issues to deal with.
