    Interesting and somewhat odd fit. He’s a classic 3-4 DE, but maybe as a hybrid DE on run downs and DT on pass downs.
    COMING SOON...

    He's 36.

    Conclusion - Rotational, leadership and Vet Min. Leadership probably being the biggest factor.

    Also probably says something about where they see Bansham.

    Corrected.

    Maybe Frzaier leaving is Beane telling McDermott to change the scheme a bit or else.

    If we’re changing the scheme then this team has far more holes defensively then we all think right now. They’re not equipped to run a 3-4.

    What does he have left? When the team that knows you most says goodbye I'm skeptical.

    They wanted him but on the cheap, because of his age maybe ..... but the dude is still almost too much to handle for any OL.

    He's a monster that you would rotate just not as frequently as one might think because of age.

    Love to have him for our effort to win it all .... this player you gotta plan for offensively or he will wreck your **** up right away.

    I think he may have meant change in terms of modify not replace.....ie a Jim Johnson approach...

    That's what i'm hoping....

    Re: Calais Campbell will visit Bills next week

    We actually can run a modified 3-4, but that means trading for a true ILB or getting the best one in this draft, which we need one anyway. Miller already has the experience, Rousseau has the potential, and the current (previous, now?) scheme has had zone blitzes in the playbook. With today's offenses, I'm not so sure a true nose is a necessity anymore and we've got (had) enough tweeners to pull it off. TJohnson is probably going to be the 'fourth lber', though, if there even is such a thing these days.

    It's always theoretically possible...though they take years to develop most often...but I can't even remotely see McDermott sticking his head that far outside his shell into a different world. There's no staff that knows it...it would be slapstick.

    Probably, I was just commenting the personnel holes that would need to be filled aren't as many as DB thinks, IMO.

    If that was true, which I don’t think it is, wouldn’t Beane have demanded an outside DC be brought in?

    It would be almost funny to watch them try it.

    Campbell can still play. Everytime the Steelers play the Ravens, they mentioned him.

    If someone comes up with a "true" 2 year deal, he's probably going there. Most likely it'll be low end one-year offer. He might be looking for a chance to get a ring.

    At 36 I would rather Colbie Caillat drive up in a Cutless Calais. Blasting Glen Campbell no doubt.

    Guess he never made it, because he signed with Atlanta

    Beane said at the GM meetings that there wasn't a visit planned. All media made up.
