[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 652574, member: 6578"] I personally don't foresee him as a sure thing at ILB for the future, however is it more possible he would be than what we currently have on staff? Yes, without a doubt. I see him as an upgrade to what we have, as he is a coverage ILB more than run stuffer. Tennessee sat him down because they needed better run defense due to their inferior DL in front of the LBs. I watched him some and looked up some tapes of him and his stats from when he entered the league last night. Is he the savior at ILB for the future, I'd put the chance of that at less than 25%...however he is 100% an upgrade and would give us a LB for sure fire pass coverage better than anything we have yet on the roster (proven). *I would still desire a draftee or even a second FA brought in with a similar goal of offering an ILB more coverage oriented. I'd be all for this type of FA signing from TT, doesn't necessarily have to be this specific guy but similar in nature. Different scenario can greatly impact a player's performance; new coaches, new teammates and/or new city can all change this. I have given up on us finding a all encompassing ILB that covers well, stops run well and is the admiral on Defense like a Luke Kuechly...give me both trick ponies playing in there with known strengths and weaknesses at least. We've never had a coverage skilled LB in years...too many years...at least get me something TT, something! [/QUOTE]
