At the very least he’s experienced. And he was with AG and Dan in NO for a few months, so they should know what kind of guy they’re getting.

It makes me feel better that they’ve picked up a couple guys like Long and Kwon who can add experience to the room. Nothing against guys like Beauplan or Turner, but we’re about to make a run. We need some guys in that room/on the field with some experience.

Kwon has been the the big game before, even though SF lost. That’s valuable. really best case scenario of available guys at this point in a season.

Played for NO the same time this staff was there… Hopefully doesn’t need too much time to get a grasp on the scheme bc of it.

Alexander’s never really been the same since he tore his achilles, but we just need him as a steadying influence for a few games.

Exactly. We need some gauze to help pack the wounds. Hopefully JRM and Anzalone can make it back on the shorter sides of their timetables.

So what LB is hurt now. I watched the game, but didn’t hear the game.

Getting Long and Alexander for free is as good as Holmes could have done considering the dire situation at LB and limited time to bring guys in. I think Long has been pretty solid in his limited time thus far. It looks like Anzalone and JRM should be back for the playoffs so we just need a few placeholders.

Yeah, it really is best case scenario here. It’s hard to retool with this many injuries, but of all the guys out there that could be decent impacts, these were the guys. Good on Brad. Would love to see a behind the scenes of the job he’s had to do this year.

How was he not on a 53 man roster. Fantastic signing.

Wtf. That sucks.

Uhh

Aging Linebacker coming of a torn Achillies

He was okay for the Broncos when he did play though, so i think he will be fine

should be on a snap count though, Think Long and Campbell are our starting 2 LB’s

Did not know about the achilles.

Anything else you want to say to ruin my enthusiasm?
