You added a linebacker. Why go get somebody from outside the organization instead of having somebody who has been here?

“Well, the person who had been here had only been here for three days. We went out there, I don’t really get to see the guys this time of year, but tried to figure out the best guy that we thought could help us on special teams and hopefully get him ready to play linebacker. You’re still two injuries away from getting that person in, the fourth guy. But, we needed someone who we felt could learn to do that once the time came and could be our best player on special teams.
