Damn. I didn’t think they’d take on his size in this defense but if they think it can work, let’s go.

My guess is visit = if physical goes well, he signs.

And you know this guy is ready to win some real games and stick it to the Chargers who didn’t extend him last year when he wanted it.

He’s basically Justin Houston without the possible hard feelings there between Houston and the team.

I mean that he's a little small to be a 3 down, play every snap LDE going up against the typically bigger power guys at RT. He's a more natural fit as an OLB in a 3-4. Of course, we're in nickel 70% of the time, so it's not a big deal. He's also getting a little long in the tooth, and has had some injury issues. He'd be better served keeping him somewhat fresh and rotating him with someone like Danna, who is kind of his mirror opposite. Keep a guy like that somewhat fresh and he'll feast late in games.

He's a good player that's past his prime, which is totally okay; that's exactly the type of guy The Patriots used to win most of their Super Bowls.

I don’t get this line of thinking. The guy was 6’2” 264 lbs at the combine

I understand but with him being decent against the run too we've got to keep those kind of guys on the field as long as possible because that's an area we have to improve aswell as the pass-rush. Right now Clowney, Dunlap and Ingram are available and Veach has to get it right.

Well, I'd argue that part of the pass rush problem is guys wearing down and getting tired. I would argue that rotating guys in and out and keeping fresh horses is important late in games and late in the season.

I'm not saying you need to hide him or anything, but why use up all his energy on first down running plays when his true talent is in rushing the passer? Let Danna chase RB's. Use Ingram to rush the passer. That's all I'm saying.

And he'll still have some burst in the 4th quarter, when he can tee off.
