He might play again but he can't change direction anymore or covet anyone. I'm glad he got his money, that injury in college robbed him of his athleticism. 

Some folks wanted to sign him a few weeks ago bc they equated making tackles 20 yards downfield and jumping on piles to being good but he lost his mojo.

Would take him over Clay Johnston or Julian Stanford ever though Jaylon Smith isn't the player he once was.

As a starter, no.  But Jaylon Smith is better than the LBers not named Haason Reddick, Shaq Thompson, Frankie Luvu, or Jermaine Carter

Last game proved how important Shaq is to this defense.  We need another capable interior LB besides Shaq and Carter.

Only reason I would say no would be any complications with ST.

We don’t need him to cover. We just need him in the middle to help the run game.

He looks like he’s running in molasses.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
