I don't know how this team will shape up come September, but I'm happy about the additions thusfar, and the subtractions that came with the additions. Adding Donnie, who has played better the last 2 years than I have ever seen him, is not an indication that this team doesn't want to get younger.

It's an indication that if you have a lot of youth around you (Allen, Hali, DJ, Nap, Page, Pollard) then you need some vets to help lead the way. I think the biggest problem last year was Kawika tried to be a leader, and not one person on defense gave a rat's ass about what he was saying.

That changes with someone like Donnie.

Signing Donnie Edwards plugs a gap, allowing the team the ability to trade up if needed to get a bonafide stud player.
