The LB corps will be a lot better than what it has been, but it won't be elite in terms of the league, so lets not get carried away.

It doesn't have to be elite to lead to another Super Bowl win. Right?

This team has the best offense in the HISTORY of the league, a half decent defense is all it would take to make it back to the Superbowl, I think this signing all but locks that up

Holy Sh*t! This is going to be Dome Patrol, Part Deux!

I didn't see this coming!!!!

But but... we don't have any money to spend.

Loomis does it again.

Seer1 · 04-03-2012, 06:32 PM

Shanle's movin' back into coverage.

I'm starting to think Loomis has a Jedi mind trick because he can sign anybody. Shanle is gone in my opinion. Now lets get Brees signed Loomis.

Very Nice!

It's funny that we sign a LB that the Falcons were interested in as well and the first thing the rival fans say is: he's not good in coverage or is injury prone... jealousy perhaps?
