Signed Jason Phillips OLB

[Munch4455]

Worse part is, is that he is an ILB. From a 3-4. Doesn't really match our needs at all. Just another guy at a position we were deep at.

You realize an ILB from a 3-4 has a lot of the same responsibilities as an OLB in a 4-3 right? Especially in coverage.

Lawrence Wilson will prolly be activated off the practice squad

Norwood?

[setzer2030]

apparently Philly fans really wanting Lofa

Maybe they think he can play QB if Vick is out next week.

[Miaoww]

Norwood?

Is in our D-line rotation

lol. if you think this guy is on the field for a single coverage package you're delusional. He's a slow, two down LB, and he will be lucky to get a jersey on gameday

Per Person

Phillips played 9 games last season after spending '09 on IR. Panthers GM Marty Hurney says Phillips is more of an inside linebacker.

Yipee.

An insanely less talented version of what's on the market, and what we already have. Would've rather activated somebody from the PS, honestly.

I know. But perhaps we should use him at LB instead and put someone else in said rotation.

Worst. Argument. Ever.

The scrubs we normally pick up weren't signed by anyone else either until we decided to sign them. "No one wants this piece of trash? Well he comes cheap. We'll take him!".

Lofa = $$

No. YOU don't want this guy because YOU have never heard of him.

It is the same lame arguement that was made over DT. Everyone wants the big named, aging vet (Tommie Harris, Pat Williams, Marcus Stroud, Jamal Williams). We did not sign any of them....and neither has any other team.

My point is that the FO and coaching staff knows 1,000,000X more about evaluating talent and who fits this scheme that any of the idiots on here....myself included.

We have NOT been afraid to spend cash. So to discount this move from behind our computers is laughable.

Doubt he does....that would actually require a knowledge of football.

[Chaos]

ZOMG, we're switchin to teh three-fourzzz defence!!1!!!1

From Rotoworld.

A two-down thumper type like new Panthers starting MLB Dan Connor, Phillips will focus on special teams.

Probably signed to take Jordan Senn's spot on ST while Jordan spends more time on the field at LB.

Before all you guys start questioning front office moves and this guy they have coming in, consider this: Cam has thrown for over 400 yards in BOTH games this season and the offense has done well, yet we've lost both games due in large part to the D. Both Beason and Davis are out for the season and we're scraping for LBs. Phillips was #2 behind Ray Lewis and I hate to break to ya but none of our LBs could stay on the field with Lewis, Suggs and the rest of the Ravens LBs. Phillips did it for 3 years. And as for a "concussion machine"...he's had one concussion his entire college and profession career. Kinda early to start throwin out those kind of labels. How bout you let the guy play a couple of games before you start callin him a scrub and a garbage pick-up?
