    I'd bring him in to battle for the spot next to Harris if anything.

    He was the king of tackling the RB 5 yards past the LOS.

    He was on par with DD, that's how bad he was last year.

    My guess that the Rams are going to go hard at one of the free agent QBs.

    You really are a grump. Lifes too short to be such a grump with bad grammar criticizing other people.

    You forgot the absolute worst one. Can't make a list without including:

    "It is what it is"

    Uhhh, no shit. Every single thing in this damn world "is what it is". What the hell isn't "what it is"?!

    Life's too short not to watch this. At the end of the day that's all that matters. After all, you only live once.;):p

    a lot of times when a player has a sharp drop off like that it's because he was playing injured. I'd definitely sniff around here to see if maybe he's an upgrade.

    If he's 29 the dropoff is probably age/injury related and the odds on him recovering back to his peak level are fairly low.

    A defense deprived team like the Giants are going to throw a fortune at him. He's the only true 4-3 middle inebacker on the market worth a dance. The rest are either unproven commodities, or pretty old/shitty players in the 3-4.

    I think the transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 is a lot easier than vice versa. There's less gap responsibility and no sideline to sideline demands.

    29 is the new 27.

    I'm thinking it's the other way around with all the PED's in circulation, I think 27 might be the new 29. Because the guy is going to get caught eventually and then he's going to age overnight.

    I looked at several Rams message boards and the following words were used to describe him: smart, durable, solid starter, overpaid.

    It was a cap move, and the Rams are already looking to extend their younger players like Aaron Donald as well as get in the hunt for a quarterback that could hit the open market whether it be Cousins, Osweiler, etc.

    I doubt he comes here, but he's a solid player nonetheless.

    Why get older at a position were already old at , were actually getting rid of our younger guy in Demario Davis for an older vet in Henderson. I dont have a problem with it because that's what should happen but that just puts on display how horrible weve been at drafting recently. Id rather invest a draft lick into the position.

    Well, he does make a valid point. It is kind of a dumb expression. The world is freakin huge.

    And he was directing the rant at the expression, not you. Hug it out.

    Well the name of the game is getting better at the position. I'm not sure if the draft class is deep at the inside linebacker position, and the coaching staff will have to weigh if they think they're going to be able to grab a starter in a round deeper than the first.

    I don't think we will get Laurinitis, and that will probably be the correct move, but I don't like using the "well we don't want to get older" mantra when talking about a proven solid starter that is 29 years old.

    Most would be an upgrade to Demario Davis and I don't really care about their age.
