JY, so if I understand you correctly you're saying we need a faster/quicker ILB instead of a run-stuffing ILB that Wagner is supposed to still be?
Having re-watched one of the Rams/Hawks games and kept my eye on Wagner, I was not impressed at all. He looked like Micah Kiser to me. I know he's an all time great LBer but maybe he just ain't as good as he used to be. Maybe the Hawks knew what they were doing when they let him walk.
I am not an expert on LBer play, but I honestly would like to see someone more dynamic than Wagner. When I first heard about the possibility of signing him I was hyped, "we'll stuff every run!" But now I don't think so. He'd be better than Reeder, but not a hell of a lot.
