They have College and CFL experience. The game is wide open on offense so it transitions well to our offense.

Another thing about the CFL game is that defense is more geared around speed than size. That translates well, too.

Re: PFF Sees It Too!

Adam Bighill's uncle says he is a hard worker with a non stop motor that he is just a bit undersized. He performed well in the CFL and missed the draft because a football shutdown I heard.

Also, this is what happens when you bring in good coaches to develop players and put them in a positon to succeed.

I definitely think he cracks the 53.
The biggest thing Bighill has going for him is versatility. He is kind of a LB/S cross. I don't know if that will be enough to get him on the final 53 though.

Re: PFF Sees It Too!

I would love to see Bighill make Vaccarro expendable. Lot less of a contract and might end up a much better player. Vaccarro=5 years Bighill=1.Not much of a downgrade if any?

96 - Ashaad Mabry ... I was really hoping he made a big jump in year two.

Edit - my fault .. I meant to post this under Roster Outlook.

Two totally different positions and responsibilities.

Side note - I'm pulling for Bighill but he's not in the same discussion talent wise as Vacarro.

Both are tweeners. I think their just listed at different positions. Vaccarro SS, Bighill LB. Around 6lb. weight difference.
