Packers Sign Quinton Dial

[pbmax]

call_me_ishmael has it first, but here is the thread.

Haven't read who is getting the boot. My guess is Pipkins, but will Ted actually carry seven lineman?

Will wist get to see a 3 or 4 DL alignment this year on passing downs?

The #Packers want Dial to play role similar to Letroy Guion. The 6-5, 318-pound Dial can play nose, end or 3-technique.

I am a bit surprised he's going to be on the nose at 6' 5", but I cannot recall seeing him play, so OK.


Ryan Wood @ByRyanWood
#Packers releasing DL Christian Ringo to make room on their 53 for Quinton Dial, per source. They can put him on PS if he clears waivers.

#Packers swapping run-stopping and nose tackle ability for DT pass rush. They will be counting on Montravius Adams for latter at some point

Its Dial because they need an NT backup to Clark. They like Dial over Price. Hope to get Ringo on PS.

definite upgrade over Ringo.

[KYPack]

I hope this guy is good. I have absolutely no memory of this player. I've lost a lot of my Niner hate since Harbaugh split.

At this late a juncture, Ringo ought to make PS, if that's a big deal.

Ringo is PS eligible right? Man I thought for sure Adams would go to IR but must be a good sign that his foot is healing nicely.

[Brandon494]

After a strong preseason don't know if he clears waivers though

[Joemailman]

I feel bad for Ringo, he was always overshadowed by John, Paul...I mean, he played really well in the preseason and had earned a spot on the roster.

Price was better than ringo... ringo offered nothing.

Already pseudo practicing.

Good article, I'm getting more excited about this defense everyday.

[smuggler]

I think Ringo looked decent but does not have ideal size. He will probably make it through waivers simply based on timing. The claims would get resolved on Weds and he'd be useless for Sunday.

as long as tt keeps replacing players with better ones yes, me too. needs to cut frackrell and bring up reggie gilbert now.

I think Ringo might be a better fit as an under tackle in a 4-3. Might need someone to get hurt to get a job.

[call_me_ishmael]

I don't know a darn thing about this guy, but he sure looks the part, and from doing a quick 5-min browsing of his social media he does seem like a Packer person.

I like that the Packers are committed to getting bigger and faster. Everybody says it's a finesse and speed game now but I'm not so sure. Those 2012-2014 Niners/Seahawks/Giants teams would knock the snot out of the 2016 Falcons/Packers/Cowboys.

That's right from the stuff I saw and I'm thinking DL Christian Ringo might very well get picked up.
