I was thrilled when we signed him off the street. I am a big SEC fan and I remembered how disruptive he was in college.
I guess he was considered to small fro DT and too slow for DE. But all he did was make plays. I'll always give a guy like that a chance.
I was also happy about the Gilberry signing, but mainly because of what he accomplished in KC. PFF had a story about Gilberry and how he was the ranked 3rd among 3-4 DE's in their grading system despite being a part time player. They said he'd be a better fit in a 4-3.
I still think Dingle could be a decent starter as long as we still rotated him and kept him fresh. That didn't happen last year. As for the OP, kudos to Wallace for doing a good thing, and happy Thanksgiving to everyone on here.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
