Antwaan Appelwhite Signed

[rayzor]

i guess rivera knows the guy.

i don't.

no opinion.

[rayzor]

Have to wonder if RR is being forced into more of a 3-4 scheme because of our problems at DT and LB.

could be.

[carolinarolls]

keep stirring that pot and the cream will rise.

[PantherPhann89]

Carolina "Chargedup" Panthers

[Dpantherman]

Well, he has stats, which usually isn't the case with our mid-season signings.

[thefuzz]

Hard working player, that was well liked by the SD fan base.

No room for him on the roster with English and Barnes there now.

[PantherPhann89]

I guess he's our new No. 90

[Catalyst]

He's a solid player. Likely a decent upgrade over Selvie.

[ItsPantone278]

How could we be going to a 3-4 scheme if our weaknesses are two of the most important positions in a 3-4?

Applewhite can play both Rush DE and he can be a physical run stopping OLB. And he's a damn sure tackle than #37 so lets hope he helps the Special Teams. I remember seeing him play last year, started a lot of games for coach and is young.

[PantherBrew]

I think Rivera has something specialized for Applewhite.

I don't think he will be a typical 4-3 DE for us.

Maybe run stopping help in early downs maybe in a 5-2 look with Godfrey walked down, and rush end in passing downs.

Could be interesting.

[ItsPantone278]

He's not much different physically than the Trent Cole type that we compared Norwood to in McDs D in philly.

[Boltergeist]

His DUI arrest in May didn't do him any favors either.

My best memory of Applewhite was the hit that he laid on Dwayne Bowe on an onside kick in Kansas City that saved our 2008 season. Kassim Osgood recovered, we marched down the field and scored the GW TD to win 22-21 after trailing 21-9 at the 2 minute warning. You guys even helped, creaming Denver later that day to keep them from clinching the West.

We said that about Nannee and Tutu. So far there was a reason we had never heard of them. Not saying AA will be as bad but it does seem Rivera has an unhealthy obsession with Chargers players.

Oh hell this is the second former charger with a dui that's coming here already?? Come on rivera you can do better than that.
