Decent pickup.

[UNCrules2187]

He was option #1 per Jones

[JawnyBlaze]

Heh, some of us were thinking Melvin White, but they brought back a different ex-Panther.

If I recall correctly, McClain was playing pretty well for the Falcons (and maybe another team) after he left us.

Bene goes to IR.

Nothing announced yet about Lou Young and a second roster move.

I definitely feel better about the corner position than I did this morning, but that's not really saying much.

He was my prediction for who we would bring in. Had a couple solid years in the slot for ATL. I imagine a Lou Young move if it were to happen wouldn't happen until Friday or Saturday so there is less of a chance of someone picking up the guy we cut if we want to try and grab him back following the Giants game.

He played really well for the Falcons in 2012.  I remember that.  Know he was with the Patriots too at some point.

IIRC, he primarily played nickleback.  Guessing they signed Lou Young to play outside and Mcclain to play inside

This guy?

Very possible (re: waiting on any Lou Young move until the weekend), after all he can already practice with the team...  That's what we did when we temporarily waived Horton before resigning him.

Question:  does anyone know how much turnover we've had in terms of DB coaches and schemes since McClain was last a Panther?
