He's a really solid linebacker who struggled playing in a 4-3 system in Miami. He won a super bowl with Baltimore and started on the inside next to Ray Lewis that season. He's much more suited for this scheme. I think he'll wind up being a really nice player for us.

This is what a lot of people are missing. He switched to a different system in Miami. 3-4 ILBis very different from OLB or even MLB in a 4-3. Hell, we have a huge example of this on the Saints in Vilma but in the other direction. Also, the guy got one season and then got injured. The transition is tougher than most realize.
