He'll be covering on special teams in Lamur's spot. He does cover nicely in the flats and has pretty decent speed side line to side line. A solid tackler that wraps up nicely with a great field of vision against offensives.
Yeah, he isn't a OLB like Lamur, he is just depth and will play some ST's.
Shawn will fill in there in a pinch, better tackler and better in coverage than Lamur = upgrade.

I doubt he will be missed...

This sounds pretty bad, even worse than i thought. He has been bad for a couple of years now and i had
high expectations for the guy originally. You would think a former Safety would be able to cover better than
he has especially with his size and speed, but no.
