Mario is a good start. It's unfortunate to hear that the SS plays the other side of the field though.

Can't say I'm in favor of bringing him in. We need to get bigger and more athletic in the LB corps. I don't think June provides that.

My bet is he would be a LB in the nickle package. Not an everydown player.

There are rumors that Adibi has gained weight, and is looking solid, if this translates to staying on the field then I'm not sure it matters who the vet signing is.

This is the first I have heard of this. That is great news. One thing we havent seen from Adibi yet is his ability to rush the passer. He looked like he was shot out of a cannon when he blitzed at WV. I never figured out why they didnt use him in that role more while there.

This has me curious, im going to go look up and see what Adibi's numbers were at the combine last year in the 10 yd split. It had to be good.
