Didn't we try and bring him on board before? Seems like around the time we either hired, or fired Spags, that his name was mentioned.

I think we were blocked.

I'd like to see what he can do with Anthony, Ellerbe and Foster.

Which begs the question....
will we be targeting a LB in round 1, or will we wait to see what he can do with what we have?

That depends on what happens in free agency. There's some pretty good defensive talent available. It will definitely have an affect on the draft strategy.

I'd search high and low for a top tier LB (see Vilma) in Free Agency.

Utah_Saint · 01-30-2017, 08:43 PM

I never realized he's the son of Dick Nolan.
