Another LB option?

[Canadian'eh!]

Steelers to cut him.

www.profootballtalk.com

He had a down year and isn't huge but has the size,speed and skill to play OLB here. He's always been a bit undersized for a 3-4 OLB.

Not a bad option for us though....

has playmaking ability.... good for a few sacks on blitzes, good in coverage. Not great at any one thing, but a sure tackler and smart football player.

Only 28 as well.

me likey.

Re: Another LB option?

i would definately be happy with his signing. he is a solid LB that has made some nice plays. why would the steelers let him go? to get Timmons (2nd round LB they drafted out of FL ST) in the line up? Foote didnt have a big contract i dont think. is he getting old?

He's better than Ellison.

Basically.. Woodley, Timmons, Farrior and big money for Harrison. They have no place to play Foote really if tey want Timmons in there at ILB.

Plus they save some money too.

Re: Another LB option?

I would prefer this over Hill. He's a great community guy and is still very involved here in Ann Arbor as a distinguished alum.

Bring a little of that Pittsburgh attitude to our defense. I'd love it.

Re: Another LB option?

From what I read about Foote to refamiliarize myself with him... small for a 3-4... not so much a 4-3... bigger than our guys. Good speed. Very good tackler.

But VERY smart player. Reads plays very well. Plus he has great character and is a real leader in the locker room.

PLus you know he might know afew things having learned playing LB in Pittsburgh.

Re: Another LB option?

This is why I hate all these doom and gloom people. The Dolphins were screwed last year, and they signed Chad Pennington like at the end of July.

That totally changed their team. If we drafted a rookie LB saturday, I'd be mad right now because I'd rather have Foote. Sorry but Poz/Mitch/Foote is the best 3 LB combo we've discusses so far this off season.

He's not a blazer, but he's physical. He's mean. He's exactly what we need!

If we sign Foote, it would complete probably the best off season that I can remember.

We'll have a tackle, too.

Re: Another LB option?

cheaper option then Hill as well. Vet leadership added, and it gives guys like Bowen a chance to continue to develope

but is he really good enough to pursue ?

Re: Another LB option?

Re: Another LB option?

This is the most unanymous thread I've ever seen.

I'm waiting for Op or HH to come in and say it would be a stupid move.

Will it happen??...
