Is Faison really a "high risk" signee?

Think along the lines of Hoston.   Faison is not here this spring.  There is a reason for that.

I'll bet a dollar that Cody Fulp will be in the mix either at inside LB or DE before the season starts.

Faison has to be here for the 2018 season. He is a shoe-in starter that we desperately need in this position group.

Nice to see LB over 6' and 225! GMG

I don't think he is a shoe-in starter. It is gonna be hard to beat out Garner and Ejiya with all their experience... Same reason I think Fulp will contribute, but not as much as people may think... I think our linebackers will take a step forward in 2018 either way.

I like Garner and his enthusiasm and team mentality, but he is a step too slow and could be sitting on the sideline in a quick minute if he let's someone get in there and out play him.

I have to agree with Ben, Garner is on thin ice just like Preston

If those 2 would focus on training and their reads during the game as much as they ran their mouths they would be solid players.
