the need some extra bodies at LB for the 2 games out west..........

one more loss, and its put in all the rookies......no, wait.....they're already in there

That's good news. If this team didn't sign Ty Law when it looks like they could have, you know that they wouldn't sign Rosey unless they KNEW he had enough left to make an impact.

to bad they dint sign him before we could of used against the jets and colts

The biggest question is what number will he wear?

I wonder if he plays on sunday? He's been in the system before so it's not like he'd be coming to a new team.

Should have done this a few weeks ago when AD went down.

Also I kinda wish this was a 2 year deal. Now if he plays well thru 4 games will have to bid for his services after he proved he still has something instead of signing him now to the deal.

likely thats how he wanted it is that provides him a perfect tryout for next year. 4 games in a system he knows well will show what he has left. A good 4 games likely would mean one last decent contract for him.

i wouldnt be suprised if he starts. im glad hes back. if we can get Thomas back soon, we would have a pretty formidable pass rush i think

Welcome back Rosie. Hopefully, part of the reason why he didn't make a team in September was that he wasn't completely healed and he is now. I think that even if he has lost a step, his knowledge of the system and smarts should make him at least a decent addition to the line up.

If woods isn't dressed than he likely gets the 3-4 start but we would probably also have to use some 4-3 as Colvin can't be ready for full game action and in 4-3 your LBs would be Vrabes, Mayo, and Bru/Guyton.

Good luck Rosie, hopefully a year has been enough time to get your foot healed up and ready to play at a high level again.

Woods haven't been playing that well.
