Who is the German?

Who is Kasim Edebali that showed up with two sacks all of a sudden. Was he an undrafted FA? When did we get him. Can't say I have heard his name before.

Kasim Edebali, OLB for the New Orleans Saints at NFL.com

PreSeason Superstar, then nothing, he barely sniffs the field because his play is not consistent with whatever it is that we're trying to do...

Played with Colts DE Björn Werner at Boston College...

He should be rotating with Galette at the least, guess they want to maximize Galette on the field for sacks to justify that premature extension...

Hej Cru'.

Kasim Edebali signed on 11th May 2014 as UDFA.
Kasim Edebali signed a 3 year / $1.53 million contract with the New Orleans Saints

He is a real interesting guy. If you want it I can give you a précis of his development from Hamburg thru to Saints.

Kasim has played on teams opposite Björn:
Hamburg Huskies against Berlin Adler.
Boston College against Florida State.
New Orleans Saints against Indianapolis Colts (preseason 23rd August 2014)

(Alas, but NOT Kimball Union Academy, NH against Salisbury School, CT)

yes you can, and im with you. I remember hearing his name one other time this year, but I know nothing about that kid, but I like him

That is the $64,000 Question...

hagan714 · 10-27-2014, 12:05 PM

he is a lunch pale kid plain and simple. does nothing at an unbelievable scale but does everything well. that was his MO here at BC. hard worker leaves it all out on the field and does not make a lot of stupid mistakes, plays with discipline. solid football IQ. Unlike a 4th rounder i wont name.

he was one of the few UDFA that were on the must watch list.

But at the same time, does it matter how we get them?

hennr · 10-27-2014, 07:09 PM

Yes i think it does matter because a Ufda player at best a good back up sometimes you find a gem but the wasted 126th pick should have been a starter in time not a total 100% bust.
