Horrible pickup. He cannot play OLB, in a 3-4. He did okay as a LB in a 3-4 last year. Even though he was healing from an ankle sprain he did well. He still registered 5 sacks as an OLB, one forced fumble, one pass deflection, and 12 tackles. Our defense will be more flexible with him in it and adjust to his presence. Some Colts fans say that he was still double teamed last year though adjusting to a new system and recovering from injury.

However, we know that the Chargers require their OLB to cover/do other things around the field. There were better FA options FOR the Chargers system.

There were better FA options FOR the Chargers system. Like who? John Abraham has only played in a 4-3 his entire career and he is older than Freeney and after that, there is no one. Freeney was the best option out there and he is a better option than what we have now. Our DC, John Pagano (Chuck's brother), admitted that at times, he was a little too conservative in his play-calling and wanted to get more aggressive. We don't know if Freeney is going to be asked to just rush the passer or not but according to Mike McCoy, we're going to do what our guys do best and move forward.

Well we also signed that guy from the Panthers Keiser. Pantherfan says he's pretty good.
