Which linebacker are you taking off the field? You want him to come in at Safety or DE? Acho, Schofield, Lenon, and Schofield have all arguably this far played the best football of their careers with the sample size being small with Sco, Acho, and Washington.
Bradley played well when he was on the field alot in the preseason and like AJ said I would be comfortable with him coming in if Lenon went down, which based on his age maybe a likliehood at this point.
With FA lean towards the Packers/Steelers philosophy (and less like the Eagles) where we build through the draft and augment through FA. And we have drafted well which we can tell by many of the usual suspects silence on this subject this year.
Granted last year we didnt get our moneys worth out of his 1st year and signing bonus. But now Hes solid depth and at his restrcutred contract makes that much easier to swallow.
Every team makes bad signings all the time. They become more glaring when you are losing. We aren't. So whats the issue? Obviously whiffing on Stewart Bradley hasnt hurt our record thus far and as I detailed above, maybe its bringing out the best in Lenon because his play had been phenonmenol.
1. It's pre season, therefore meaningless.
2. He's depth but I don't know about solid. I think the only reason he was kept is because, in a pinch, he can play both inside and outside and guys that were cut, like Sturdivant, could only play one position.
3. I agree. That's why I am not banging on the FO. I think it was terrible signing, and did at the time, but they gave it a shot.
What I am saying is that to expect him to be anything of value is a terrific reach and a leap of faith. He has shown nothing and they even tried him as a pass rusher last year, to no avail. They have tried, numerous ways, to get him on the field and nothing has worked but people still think he can be a productive player
. He is't the first and won't be the last bad signing but let's just call him what he is, a bust, and move on.
