    Now I understand you guys are love Keith but he really hasn't laid anyone out for at least 3 years or more. Tulloch has been the hardest hitting Titan since he got here.

    Keith is still a great wrap-up tackler, but he doesn't pound anyone. Vince had the best hit of any Titan last year. Just ask Vontae Davis.

    It's not how hard you tackle a player, it's about just tackling the player. Are you trying to say he is not valuable because he hasn't laid anyone out?

    Regardless of what LBs stay and go, signing Will Witherspoon makes the team better and that's undeniable. He's a damn good linebacker and I'm glad we signed him. Bulluck is getting up there in age but I hope we keep him around (he's one of my favorite players), but signing Witherspoon is a good pick-up for us.

    Wow i got some things to say....

    1 - good signing ill take it - w/ better value. he is a good player and can start for us immediately

    2 - a healthy KB is over this guy

    3 - KB i think last yr or year b4 jacked up some1 on ESPN - doenst matter though i agree with the guy who said its more important to be a sure tackler. The Bull is a sideline to sideline LB - im not sure i can say the same of Will

    4 - Hall is our hardest hitter....by far. He levels out people for a living. ive posted some of his blocks...that guy creates pancakes outa defenders

    No I ain't saying that Keith isn't good because he hasn't laid anybody out. I'm just saying that he doesn't go for the kill like he used too. Never said he ain't good anymore, just that he isn't our big time tackler anymore.

    I still want Keith back but I can't pretend that he's gonna return to his old form. I hope with all my heart that he does, but I gotta be realistic. He more than likely won't be ready when the season starts and the team can't wait around and count on him to be back.

    VY is the best hitter on the team. Anytime he has made a tackle its been a kill shot!

    Bulluck may not be the biggest hitter ever but it's not like Witherspoon is a huge thumper either. I'm not sure where you guys got that idea.

    I never said Witherspoon is the second coming of LT or anything great. But hey he's a Titan now, and I'm gonna talk the guy up 'til I'm blue in the face. I'm stoked about him coming in and helping out in a big way. Can't I be hopeful and excited about our newest Titan.

    I wasn't knocking Keith for not being the hitman he was in years past, never took anything away from Keith either. And I never said that Witherspoon lays fools out either. I am just genuinely amped up about the signing of our new LB.

    So please don't bust my b@!!s because I'm happy we got us a good LB.
