I like the signing...just hope we find someone even better to start ahead of him

I like this too. It's going to be really interesting how a lot of these guys fit into the new scheme. Your hope is one of these guys who was decent in the old system has a chance to become a standout in the new. My guess is they're looking at Bostic as a MLB in a 4-3.

This is getting off topic a bit but how does a guy like Sweat fit into the new system? Can he play the run as a 4-3 DE? The switch should definitely benefit our DT group we have as I think they're the most talented group on the team. Now let's have a season....

he is what Brown was supposed to be. A great tackler who just went out and tried his hardest every game day.

A good move.
He did a pretty decent job, for a horrendous coaching staff.
I expect better performances from every player we retain. Offense, defense, and special teams.
