I'm pretty sure that they did want Groves. I think we would have taken him over Henne. It seems to me almost like the Jags beat us to him because we wouldn't give them JT for cheap.

we need to sign him give him some reps at DE. i wonder if hes gonna be good. remember when they thought Roth was heir of jason taylor. maybe merling of langford could pan out to be legit.

Dude, we picked Langford AFTER Merling, not before.

we cant fix everything in one offseason. if we got playmaking OLB's first, before adding some beef at DE and NT, the only plays those lb's would be making would be tackles 5-6 yards down the field every play.

Watch!

By the end of TC you will find a least two more lbers on the team.

THEY just might not know it yet.

They've already said that Moses will play OLB.

Moses id the guy Im most intrigued with...Selected in the 3rd round last year by the Raiders, was cut shortly after, apparently for charachter concearns or something like that, I really hope this guy can live up to his hype...

Merling isn't going to endear himself to PArcells and company if he doesn't sign his contract before camp begins!!!

Dude, I know. I meant I didn't like the pick at first, and then when I saw we picked Langford later, I didn't like it even more.

FWIW: During the 4-12 season Bates lost both on his DT's consequently Zack couldn't scrape and make the plays hes was used too.

Doesn't matter if it's 3-4 or 4-3. The LB must be clean to make plays

I really like Merling based on his career at Clemson.
