Agreed. At least he looks like decent depth now. 

One thing we are sorely lacking, is decent depth.

Brother than has been the case for as long as I can remember.

This guy is a solid player will really help our LB position

In the 3-3-5 look, there is no need to cover the deep seam route like with the Tampa II.  We just need a run stuffer.  I am guessing this is that guy

Thank you for posting this. It's refreshing when someone else understands how schemes work and that when building a roster you don't go for the shiniest and most expensive gems at every position but instead put several rocks on the field with a few gems and sometimes you change those rocks depending on the situation and where you want all your stones to be at and what they are suppose to accomplish. 

Every off season fans confuse me. When Hurney would over pay good players who were getting old or playing a position of less importance they were happy, then when the error of doing this became clear because we couldn't get other players in positions we needed more or said players dropped in production they wanted Hurney rightfully gone. Now when we have similar situations, many want us to do it again and overpay players just because they are better than what we have at the moment. 

Also, people recognize that we need more depth and they are correct. But depth isn't just about replacing a "starter" when he's hurt. Proper depth is about having solid players at all positions that can do specific things in your scheme. Teams can only afford to have but so many "stars" as they cost a lot. Where you have those stars should be based on which positions are most important for your overall scheme.  

This off season so far, we are doing a very good job of getting affordable players that could be solid starters or temporary starters or situational players. Each player fits into our schemes and at a minimum they give us more depth which we all know we need and yet with every signing it feels like half the people don't like them even though it's exactly what they know and have said we need. 

I call it the Madden effect. If #52 is a 74 and #53 is a 69 then we should take #52 but that's not the right approach. You have to consider what each player does well. If #52 plays man and #53 plays zone and our scheme is zone then we should take #53. If #52 is fast and good in coverage same as #49 but #53 stops the run and we have no one to stop the run then we should take #53. The overall rating is less important than how he fits our scheme or what our needs are.

You just killed it with you endorsement.  Keep your pie hole shut on predicting future success for anyone.

Jermaine Carter Jr. did a respectable-enough job at middle linebacker once Tahir Whitehead was finally benched last season. That said, Perryman has a far more impressive résumé, notably his skills around the ball.

Interesting nugget: Apparently we offered a contract to Browns LB Malcolm Smith before he chose to re-sign with Cleveland

The Perryman acquisition has Luke's fingerprints all over it.

But my god the injuries, everyone has a long injury history.....

Seriously, is there an NFL player who hasn’t been injured. Hell even every college player we draft has been injured, it’s a violent game.
