Not that I'm proud of it but when I first saw pictures of him the first thing that came to my mind was something to the effect of "wannabe gangsta" that will probably be arrested at some point. I was pleased to learn that he as a hard working blue collar type guy that loves the game and has no history of run ins with the law unlike other West Virginia players.

And who cares if he looks a little scary, maybe thats what we need from a guy playing quite possibly the dirtiest position in the NFL. I think at worst we get a guy thats like Chris Hoke on the Steelers.

The defense should be much improved this year. We already got better by leaps and bounds once Kemo and Golston were replaced by Holliday and Bryant late in the season and teams didn't have the luxury of running away from the one bright spot in Carriker anymore.

Carriker-Bryant/Neild-Jenkins should help improve this defense further. Especially now that guys like Holliday and Daniels don't have to forced to do more then should. And who knows maybe we'll also end up with a healthy Kemo. Jarmon developing would also be a bright spot.

Either way I think Neild will be one of my favorites on this team.
