blizzard_falcon Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 No, he is just a 2-down MLB at this point in his career. He wouldn't be an upgrade on Worrilow. The Detroit LB we need to look at in free agency is Tahir Whitehead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Lions have a few interesting guys. Ihedigbo was really good prior to last season, but lost his job to Abdul-Quddus, who is also a FA at SS. Jason Jones isn't bad either. He's not incredible, but would fit the Seattle plan of getting in a load of guys who can contribute a handful of sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlfanstckndenver Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 He's actually a guy that can upgrade the position somewhat imo. Just not for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in that mid-tier level of guys who could help our pass rush, along with William Hayes, Nick Perry, and Jeremy Mincey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTann Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Definitely yes to Tahir Whitehead. Jason Jones, as mentioned, for a couple of years at LDE too if a stop gap is needed before getting younger at LDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowing down in 2015. Future Falcon? Yes? No? When I first read this on my own, I immediately dismissed him as having no possible chance of coming here. 31, & a slow 2 down MLBer. I have no earthly idea why this is worthy of posting up tbh. No disrespect meant. Worrilow is 10X the LBer this dude could be on his best day. We need a 3 down MLBer with some drop back, coverage skills. I certainly don't see us taking Ragland at 1. If we did, I'd be one pizzed off hombre. We have so many important needs right now. Please consider this... When you look at the middle of Carolina's D. You have Luke Kuechly who kicks azz. But if you dig down and wonder why he is so dam effective you have to consider two things... #1 he is super talented with great diagnosis skills, instincts & speed. #2 he benefits from an incredible Dline!! I mean QB's are being terrorized from inside and outside against Carolina and Kuechly benefits greatly when they have to get the ball away under pressure. I mean just look at who they have playing SS... Roman, old man Harper...LOL.. We need to hit Dline in this draft, then OLB/S... We can replace Worrilow when we have that luxury imo because Worrilow improves as our Dline improves for now. No, not a Worrilow homer. But the dude is playing for peanuts and doing an adequate job right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for not doing adequate research in advance to your satisfaction. A simple no would have sufficed, though at least one person seemed to entertain the possibility. He used to be a great player, and sometimes it takes a couple of years to fully recover from an ACL. I didn't think it was a stupid question but maybe it was.

I really wasn't trying to make you look foolish or bad in any way but I also knew that the point that had to be made would be abrasive by it's nature. I really meant no ill will towards you personally. There are a plethora of posters who do this, not just this single thread... Every time a guy is released it turns into a thread here. I think because there are so many intelligent football guys here, folks post up so that they can learn how a guy may or may not fit on our club. So I get that. But sometimes it's such a non-fit that I just get annoyed LOL!! Plus I am easily annoyed because I am a grouch sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So shower me with your knowledge (I'm being totally serious). Why is he laughably a non-fit?

Romfal Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 been reading he hasn't been the same since his injury. I would pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Nah. As much as I like an experienced veteran on the defense, we've been kicked in the nuts too many times by bringing in FAs with injury histories. Skip this one and stick to brining in draft talent.

Lornoth Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Even without the age and injury concerns, he's not an upgrade to Worr. If we're going to bring in a new starting MLB he needs to be able to move fast and cover well, and Tulloch does neither of those things.
