EXCELLENT

I'm happy we finally signed someone... but I'm hardly satisfied. I like the guy but he's not a impact guy... where is our enforcer dammit?!

TheDeuce · 03-13-2006, 05:18 PM

papz, it might be coming in the draft via AJ Hawk if we can just ink Brees.

papz · 03-13-2006, 05:20 PM

IF! How much more money do we need to throw at the guy before he signs... greedy bastard! He's milking the crap out of us.

I also feel that if we don't sign Brees, we can draft a lb in the 2nd round who can have an immediate impact. This years linebacker class is very deep, we will be getting a lb with 1st round talent in the 2nd round.

I like the signing of Fujita. He will bring some much needed playmaking ability. Here is the Expert's take from ESPN Insider

Fujita is a tall rangy linebacker who has long arms. He delivers a great blow and plays with good leverage on the line of scrimmage. He has a knack for getting rid of blockers and does not stay blocked. He finds a way to get to the ball. He has very good upper body strength and has very good block protection. He is a long strider who shows the ability to run plays down from behind. He can accelerate to finish a play and shows good ability to come off the edge and challenge the offensive tackle to the corner. He does an excellent job of getting hands on and re-routing receivers and shows good awareness in zone coverage. He is fluid in his movement and does a good job with play recognition. He is somewhat vulnerable to low blocks and does not have the initial foot quickness or the running ability to stay with tight ends beyond a short area. However, he plays with good intelligence and takes advantage of angles. He has good change of direction skills and gets a great break on the ball. He is a very aggressive hitter who wraps his arms on the ball carrier. He plays with a good level of intensity and is a very productive player.
