Per Michael DiRocco's Twitter:

Apologies, but I can't seem to embed the tweet. Here is Pullard's Scouting Report via NFL.com.

"...Bottom Line

Athletic linebacker who falls into a habit of letting plays come to him rather than making things happen. While lacking an aggressive strike as a tackler, Pullard has the athleticism to be a solid NFL player. He has to find a scheme that can keep him clean or he might be just another linebacker.

..."

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

I'm guessing the drop-off when Armbrister had to start has them shuffling for better depth.

rocdee · 10-28-2015, 03:42 PM

Armbrister was horrible. Hopefully this guy can be marginally better than him.

HIGH SCORE · 10-28-2015, 03:42 PM

I remember some people projected us grabbing him in the draft. Seems like just a guy, but he is young- maybe he will develop.

Drop-off is putting it mildly. Armbrister was horrible against Tampa. And some people wanted him to start instead of Posluszny. Rolleyes

Yes. Funny, huh? Also funny how the army of Poz-haters has been eerily quiet around here. *knocks on wood*

Thing is, the more I look into how this Defense is operated, you really really need a good LB pair at MIKE and WIL in order to make it go. For a really good example of how this Defense is intended to operate, take a look at Carolina's game against Philadelphia this past Sunday night. Thomas Davis and Luke Keuchly were all over the place making tackles. That's the kind of performance you need for this Defense to really work.

Poz has played a whole lot better this year so far than how he was playing last year.

J-Mizzal · 10-28-2015, 04:49 PM

Pullard is pretty decent depth

Jags this is your year

~~NYJags1016~~ · 10-28-2015, 04:50 PM

Oh Caldwell. You had to keep Armbrister over George and Reynolds.

Reynolds was claimed off waivers or would've been resigned. He had to be cut to create more depth for defensive back purposes.

George being cut was baffling.

THe most baffling was letting go of JT Thomas.

Yea, JT has been playing real well for Giants.

The rapid revolving door at the bottom of the LB depth chart has been a bit dizzying. While I recognize that they seek players to fit more specialized roles than some defenses do -- I sure wish they'd hit on some solid depth already.

Jaguars have signed LB Hayes Pullard off Cleveland's practice squad and waived LB James-Michael Johnson.

Looks as if the recently signed James Michael Johnson did not meet with their standards.

Browns fans seemed to like the kid:

Looks like he has some game speed so he should contribute to our lackluster special teams coverage immediately.

Really like the idea of Pullard being a backup to Poz at MIKE. More athletic and Better in coverage but lacking height and length.
