He was my prediction for who we would bring in. Had a couple solid years in the slot for ATL. I imagine a Lou Young move if it were to happen wouldn't happen until Friday or Saturday so there is less of a chance of someone picking up the guy we cut if we want to try and grab him back following the Giants game.

If I recall correctly, McClain was playing pretty well for the Falcons (and maybe another team) after he left us.

He played really well for the Falcons in 2012.  I remember that.  Know he was with the Patriots too at some point.

IIRC, he primarily played nickleback.  Guessing they signed Lou Young to play outside and Mcclain to play inside

Very possible (re: waiting on any Lou Young move until the weekend), after all he can already practice with the team...  That's what we did when we temporarily waived Horton before resigning him.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
