Graded out as a top 15 ILB last season. How was this guy on a practice squad?

It's good that he knows Austin from Baltimore. Hopefully he gets acclimated quickly.

Run stuffer. Good size. Hopefully he produces.

Austin's Army i trust.

I could get used to that.

A signing we're all happy with? Wow, I'm on board...lol

Bears secondary may be worse off than ours now. They lost like 3 guys in the Jets game.

productive guy on a PS that's familiar with what Austin is trying to do?....no brainer. Id probably want to see:

Palmer Whitehead Levy

for a bit though to see what they can do. I know levy played inside a lot last sun but it seemed we only had 2 lbs on the field most the time and Im not sure I want levy playing out of position with how good hes played outside.

This. Why move Levy? They moved Whitehead into the middle in camp......put him there. Palmer is supposed to be a good coverage LB too.....he could play with Levy in the nickel and just Levy in the dime.

If we go without a LB....Levy at SS.

Levy the K.

Levy as slot WR

Levy the guy who picks the tee up after the kickoff

Levy doesn't do push ups he pushes the earth down.

Whitehead is too small for the middle maybe. He's crazy athletic though...just a little nervous about the wear and tear on his body. Brynes is a load and would love to see a Levy, Byrnes, Whitehead trio. I have zero faith in Palmer.

Because PFF's grading system sucks!

According to the measurements I found.....

Whitehead is 6'-2" 242lb

Bynes is 6'1" 240 lbs

So not really much difference in their size.....Whitehead is slightly BIGGER than Bynes is. Either way, I just don't want them to move Levy from a role he is becoming a star at.

Damn, i thought Tahir was much smaller than that. I stand corrected lol
