found this: Scott Solomon Scouting Report Scott Solomon - Rice (HT: 6-3 - WT: 262) Positives -- Very good build, barrel chested and is a very strong player...Still maintains his athleticism; sometimes you see a big guy like him not be anywhere near the athlete that Solomon is... Has a great burst when pass rushing; his first step is one of the better ones in the draft... At his best when he's in tight spaces and can use his strength to overwhelm a blocker... Uses his hands very well, disengages on both running and passing plays and shows some violence when breaking away... His balance is also very good; plays with good leverage and is very tough to knock off the ball because his hands won't let you get close... Packs a punch when chasing ball carriers, will often blow up a play where he looks to be completely out of position... His best attribute may be his motor, never gives up on plays and always seems to be making something happen... One of the leaders in tackles, tackles for loss and sacks in the history of the Rice program... Has some experience playing both DE and DT. Negatives -- His aggressiveness can be used to his disadvantage as he struggles to locate the football; will often get caught flat footed and will be caught out of position... Doesn't have the ability to get low and around the corner on pass rushes; too often will drift too close to the tackle and be caught off balance and get tangled up with the offensive lineman... If asked to play as a 3-4 outside linebacker it'll be interesting to see if he has the speed to match up with some of the tight ends in the NFL... Missed the entire 2010 season with a foot injury; teams will need to give him an extensive check up to make sure everything is good there.

Who does he knock off the roster? and why?
Well...it's in the scouting report? lol Solomon is a nice prospect, one of the few players who was worth anything at Rice.
To make room for Solomon and Ijalana, we released LB Danny Lansanah and placed Josh Mauga (back) on IR
Ha ha ha, you know what I mean.....time to stop posting I think. I'm on holiday and drinking like Knoby Clark the friendly shark
1. Short wingspan. This is rather critical. 2. Lack of quickness. Doesn't seem like anything legitimate. [LB version of McElroni, if you ask me.]
