So far we havent had much success in 1 year rentals of well used vets..   But maybe Dansby changes that.

I was never as excited as many seemed to be for Hawk, but that's because we got about what I expected. I think the expectations for some of these vets we bring in are WAY to high (as far as fans are concerned) and that's why you say we haven't had much success. I don't believe the FO thought Hawk was going to come in and give us a huge season, they probably got what they expected out of him.

That said, I think expectations for Dansby should be much higher than they were for Hawk/Harrison. I really like the signing, but even then people need to check their enthusiasm about him. He will not be making the pro bowl this year, but could be a very nice piece for our LB unit.
