Don't know too much about him...KC homers, care to chime in?

LOL....he sucks. You guys should have traded for Wilson.

His signing adds some competition for the SLB position without much risk - at 1 year for $1 mil.

One year / One Million

Not a bad deal at all for a young, healthy LB.

Worst case, he provides depth.

 

[Cawdor]

He's consistent and has improved greatly, led the team in tackles but that is what you expect from a MLB. He is not fast enough for the Cover 2 and lacks coverage ability. If he has DL to protect him, should be a good but not great OLB.

WTF?He's INconsistent and regressed massively last season.

 

[msommer]

If he is in the running for SLB then expect drastically reduced tackle numbers

This signing proves one thing:

The Giants D is REALLY going to suck in 2007.

good point Cawdor. As a KC homer, I agree that he is not fast enuff for the Cover 2 and cannot cover. However, he has gotten much better with tackling in open space. Very good against the run... inside and outside runs. Not a bad MLB to have if you have pretty quick OLB's.

he's a step slow to the ball carrier literally. He's a pretty good tackler and everything else but if you pay attention on Sunday you'd have seen the RB is almost given that first 3 yards then he hits him. I always wished they put Scanlon in more.

BTW He'd have been a nice signing for the Giants, local boy and all.
