Good news ! loved his play could care less about Ealy but really wanted David back ... Guess Mac was waiting until after the draft and since we didn't get much OLB help he decided to sign him
Bass is a case of Macc being able to find talent without a ton of resources. Did he even start the season on the roster? He played pretty well for us given what he was asked to do. Same with Terrence Brooks. When Macc has NFL film on a guy and goes after him, it usually turns out pretty well. That's why I have a bit of faith that the OL situation is going to be better than we expect it to be. Then again, there's a Rashard Robinson for every Kony Ealy.
Especially since they added nothing via the draft, this was a good move. Although I thought he should have been resigned regardless. Still an underwhelming group obviously, but he's a good resign. Hopefully he can take a step forward too
I'm happy. I know we are still missing a feared OLB, but I'm hopeful that with the better secondary, with two top CB and eventually even a new nickel back, we will gain a few more seconds of coverage to help the rushers. With some added disruption from Shepard on the DL, Leo should get more penetration as well as Jenkins. In my opinion this is a pivotal year for Lee and expect big things.
Well after we lost out on our #1 priority free agent, pass rushing superstar Benson Mayowa, we had to do something. All jokes aside, Bass did well in a few games last season, although I don't remember him impacting many games aside from Weeks 3 and 4. He kinda disappeared shortly thereafter. He could very well be our best outside pass rusher because Jenkins is a run stuffer/edge setter (a good one, but not much else) Donahue is a huge question mark (no idea if he's even out of rehab), Mauldin hasn't lived up to the hype and didn't play at all last season and no one else has really earned any sort of time on the field.
