He was mediocre on defense that was better than the one he is joining in LA. Also played with better DL teammates.

Not sure how moving him around is going to change that.

Fair enough, Dog.

We just see this differently.

Brandon Staley was the OLB coach with the Bears for 3 years and knows Floyd’s strengths and weaknesses intimately I would think. I have to assume that Staley wanted Floyd specifically for the new D and pounded the table for him. I believe that Staley has specific plans as to how he wants to use Floyd, but we won’t see that usage until the fall.

Staley was a Fangio disciple in a D that puts heavy emphasis on LB play along with unpredictability that even McVay found very difficult to deal with. Heck, that’s a big reason he was hired. I’m gonna give Staley the benefit of the doubt until he proves he doesn’t deserve it. I really believe that Floyd is part of Staley’s plan.

Time will tell whether Staley was creative or foolish in acquiring Floyd on a one year prove it contract.
