We danced recently on stats with Miller.
Stats can mislead, and Youngblood's done fine work in exploring Wagner's fading results. With my own eyes, I saw him miss some affordable plays.

But the knife is sharpest as how he'd fit within design.

This is recent quote from the LA Times.

Snead said that he and coach Sean McVay and staff members evaluate accomplished players such as Wagner, to determine “his super powers” and how a player might fit.
“It may be a little different than what we’re used to, and now we sit and analyze, ‘What if we bring that player on?’ ” Snead said. “What you don’t want to do is bring the player on and ‘OK, you go right into this mold of what we did last year.’ We now have to look at what that player does best. ... Why is his name recognizable, and does that skill set fit us? So, that’s what we’re consistently doing throughout this process.”

I read that and instantly thought this isn't a natural fit. Not exactly the round peg in the square hole. I mean it's still football, yet Les is quite revealing, I think, in divulging that the club isn't racing to make this happen.

As I said earlier, and stating the obvious, this is not the Fisher era defense. Not to say I'm against having the once illustrious linebacker part of the efforts. Just everyone who have some hesitation about him have well founded concerns.

TBH, right now I seem more interested about who the next punter is going to be more than a lot of other topics.
