Nothing spells success like getting guys from the Lions...or the Jets.

Plenty of experience love it 

[Jackie Lee]

So Rhule's options are limited to young inexperienced college guys or dinosaurs. This seems like a "Finally found a guy to say yes" signing. 

[ForJimmy]

You wanted experience, here is an old guy! 

[Panthercougar68]

Not a bad hire actually. Rhule is stepping outside the box a little bit.

I mean, if I were going for somebody in that age group, I'd probably have gone after Rod Marinelli.

Pasqualoni could turn out to be the right guy though.

I think Marinelli was being considered for the Bears DC position but appears he’s still with the Raiders. Not sure he was ever under consideration here. 
 

Pasqualoni’s got a ton of experience. Hope he works out for us.
