Isn't "enforcer/tough guy" the role Nelson was brought in to fill?

There is no limit on how a team can have. But having 2 Baby Faced enforcers to protect Luck wouldn't be a bad thing. We would run all over everyone.

Ballard said this team needs toughness. This would do it. If he can't beat out Smith or Mewhort then release him. If he can play him. I hope Ballard isn't like Grigshit and plays someone even if he isn't the best player because he drafted him, or traded for him....

Competition..... That is what Ballard preaches. If and when Smith can beat him out then so be it.

I see your point. I would just roll with the kids this year personally

Eagles just released LB Mychal Kendricks. I'd take a look at him especially when you look at the LBs we currently have.

Yes, he has a point, but we already have plenty of competition at Guard, Nelson, Smith, Slauson, Mewhort, Good, Haeg, Bond and VJ.

That is a signing I could sign off on. But, I'm not giving him more than a 1 or 2 year deal, because he's certainly no world beater.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

A trillion times. Yes.

Sign Mychal Kendricks.

Yes sign Kendricks.

Kendricks is an experienced and solidly good SSLB in the Eagles 4-3 defense. He has been unhappy in PHI as his playtime has diminished over the past 2 seasons but when on the field he delivers good play.

I would bring him in to talk, like today, to see what his thought are. We can offer him a starting role immediately and he could be a veteran mentor to all the younger kids who will end up making the cut.

SSLB = Kendricks
MLB = Winner winner, chicken dinner of Walker, Goode, Franklin or Adams
WSLB = Leonard

While still not an average or strong group, that would be a better lineup that I would have expected based on where we started from.

Walk Worthy,
