This better not make or break our season next year. i was hoping he would be backup depth behind Allerbe in case he gets hurt again.

I remember Laurinitis had 18 tackles vs LSU one year. On our LB core he will help. Definetely. Good signing.

People thoughts are mixed but I have always liked this guy.

Still not crazy about this signing but at least we didn't give him a boatload of money.

He and Anthony on the field at the same time, in whatever fashion... And our defense will be a ****-ton better!
