It feels like the old days again! When I woke up this morning I didn't expect to see Roman Harper debates lol. Get out those rusty pitchforks folks.

I was just looking through Harpers' twitter and he, PT and Smith were really, really close...

And I found a tweet with a bit of fore-shadowing perhaps...

Were probably just a bunch of old sentimental fools. For some reason reading about Harper today made sense to me.

Solid player in his skill set. Can't have too many of them.

We haven't exactly drafted anybody in the last 5 years who has turned into a great leader so we have to turn to free agency and bring in guys like Laurinaitis and Harper.

And there you've hit the proverbial nail on the head my friend.

Name one leader we've drafted besides Strief. Rankins looks promising if his play is as advertised.

Which brings us back to what the **** are our scouts doing?

I think Stephone Anthony will eventually step up to be the leader on this defense. He made major strides as a rookie last year, and having Lauranitis as a mentor is only going to help him even more.

I could live with Bell - Harper - Vaccaro being on the field at the same time. As long as he's being asked to blitz then I'm okay with this signing
