Well it certainly should be hard to run on us this year.

[Warhead36]

Can't be worse than Bostic but not someone we can bank on as a starter.

[Burgundy Yoda]

This has to be a depth signing. There's no way we're putting David Mayo out there with this defense.

Who needs Pro Football Focus when we've got Panther Football Focus!

Agreed.

This is tactical; situational. Hopefully it proves fruitful. "David Mayo has struggled in coverage, but he’s been elite at defending the run. His 90.7 run defense grade this season is 2nd among 59 qualifying line backers."

It's okay, we'll get Zaven Collins for coverage.  LOL

Possible long snapper?

 

more likely he's competition for Keith Ismael and Wes Martin.  He allows Wes Schweitzer to be our starting LG if Charles doesn't earn the job

[DWinzit]

Well, he was drafted by Rivera so he knows what he is getting. Sounds like a liability in coverage so not sure I understand this one totally

[Bacon]

His name is Mayo. Of course he's going to be doing fat boy work near the line.

Charles is such a huge key to the offensive line....we traded Trent for him and need him to be great for us. I hope he's workin his ass off....

A linebacker who can't cover.... well hell, he sure found his way home!

To be fair, how many linebackers can cover?

Sorry to hear about Nick.  That explanation makes sense.

Looks like Curtis Samuel is already in love with the Social Media team!

Not many that run 4.83 40s

[Always A Commander Never A Captain]

We need an aggressive run stopping LB.  Hopefully one that can cover, but regardless, figuring out some D packages against certain teams to make use of a 2 down player is key.  Our DL is too talented to have LB's not step up and make plays against the run that the DL is setting up.

 

He seems like he fixes a basic hole in the defense.  It's not a great fix, and we can clearly upgrade, but it seems like a good basic addition.

There is "no fear" in the word "beard"

There is ONLY "bear" in "beard"

[DWinzit]

He is a good special teamer too I guess

[Number 44]

Vet minimum signing at a position we are short on.  Makes sense.
