And he wouldn't be an upgrade, he'd be INSURANCE, in case your 2 question marks and the amazing holdman have trouble or there's an injury.

were you this harsh when we signed ray brown? a horribly old, skill-eroded FORTY-TWO year old offensive lineman who'd obviously take away too much coaching focus from the younger guys (since 15+ year vets have no possible way of knowing what to do at that point by themselves), and hurt the team's overall talent level just by his very presence on the roster?

yeah, old guys always suck. I would have been much happier with raymer as our primary OL backup last year too :P

Bad comparison. Ray Brown was signed when Gibbs first came back, so he was actually a guy that the coaching staff had to spend LESS time with. That's the whole point, you want guys that can easily integrate, and Ray Brown was the perfect answer having played in Gibbs system under Bugel before. He was the one guy that knew what was going on while Gibbs and Bugel were coaching up the rest of the line.

You're probably right about Seau not requiring much coaching attention, now that I think about it. He'd be expected to sit in meetings, put in the time learning the playbook, and use his experience to get the job done.

But knowing Joe Gibbs, we're not going to sign any player for depth or insurance unless THEY CAN PLAY SPECIAL TEAMS. That's what our backups do, especially the LBs. Seau just doesn't fit. This one is all rumor and will never materialize, mark my words.
