For a split second I forgot about Damian Swann.

Don't be surprised if DA gives him a strong look at free safety before moving on from him...

Supposedly Ellerbe was used to rush the QB more often last year. Look for 00 - Alex Anzalone (R3, P76) to be our new "rush LB".

I'm getting excited at this prospect...

Ellerbe was great in that role. Looked like a legit pass rusher.
Could be good mentor to our young LBs.

With the addition of all these linebackers we could move him down and use him as a situational pass rusher. Maybe then he'll play a whole season.

Ellerbe, when rushing the passer, technically was in a blitz, which is why he was effective...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Remembering back to Greggor's days: just because it's a blitz,that doesn't make it effective.

jeanpierre

Well, it's also effective when Ellerbe is actually "available."
