I hope for 2 things...
1-I hope the 2015 draft is heavy at LB
2-We decide to draft one in round 1 and/or 2
First of all, nobody has any expectations of finding a difference maker at this time of year, so I don't know who you're talking to. But there are sometimes players who can fit a role on your team that are out there.

You might have a guy with solid physical tools who got released because he didn't fit his team's scheme. And maybe you can find a guy like that who can come in and provide a spark in certain situations. I'm not saying that guy is even out there, but you never know. I definitely don't want Armstrong though. He got released because he's got as much discipline as a stray cat.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Maybe Loomis is too busy with the Pelicans to focus on the Saints. I think he is spread too thin.

Exactly. There could be a team who has too many players at the position or a guy that just needs to get refocused (ex. rolando mcclain for the cowboys). We're not looking for a jack linebacker right now. That's what free agency and the draft are for. However, finding a speed backer with average cover skills isn't impossible. We just have to be committed to looking. And with no team to prep for this week there should be some available time to take a look at guys.

Re: Rams part ways with Ray Ray Armstrong after latest penalty on special teams

If someone told you that you had 3 seconds to name the team that was the best fit for "Ray Ray", who would you say?

Raiders Claim LB Ray-Ray Armstrong

yep, that would have been my guess too

As I finished the 1st sentence I thought Raiders at the same instant I read the 2nd sentence.

LOL!!!

You've been around long enough to know that 9 out of 10 times that we look at a bottom roster guy several knuckleheads start bashing his skills and bashing the front office because the player apparently isn't capable of replacing some struggling or mediocre starter.

Maybe not on this site so much, but I know you've seen it, and have probably seen it a lot.

I was poking fun at those that seem to expect that we'll sign a 27 year old Ray Lewis off the street during the season to shore up our defense.
