Cardinals Sign ILB J.J. Russell

Why?
If there are the same, while being younger and much cheaper

That's a w. We'll see.

If none of the players acquired play better than White, (who had the most snaps of anyone on the D last year) there will be questions.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT MONTI!

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT MONTI!

From AZ media? That's like easy bake oven heat.

Interesting that the solution at ILB seems to be overwhelm the position with special teams quality players and hope one of them pans out. Seems like simply adding White is an easier solution to get an NFL caliber starter, but here we are.

Wilson was pretty much a ST quality player with New England before coming to Arizona, and has worked out well. Fingers crossed on all three of the new candidates.

It seems to me that ILB is the least important position in JG and Rallis scheme. Big boys on the DL keeping the ILBs free to make the tackles. They need to be fast more than stout on taking on blockers. Able to cover then take on oline.

This is my conclusion as well.

It's the only position where no significant FA has been signed or attemped to be signed and the only position with no day 1 or day 2 draft picks.

I exclude S, but that is a position with two quality starters and even DTD was drafted higher to be a back-up/future starter than any LB drafted. Strong position compared ILB, that has to be the weakest position talent wise.
