I am not a Harrelson fan but how do you figure a cut rookie back up OLB is better.

because a small rock in the middle of the ocean is better than Harolson.

Hawaii?

B/C I've never even heard of Gibson. He hasn't played a snap.

Not much to be mad about considering he has been injury prone and according to Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee he was on the trade block for more than a year. He likely clears waivers and will sign for a low money offer and have to earn his way back into a starting lineup at this point.

Gibson was a 4th round pick playing behind Harrison and Woodley and waived due to a lack of depth up front in Pittsburgh. Gibson is still a project but may have more upside than Merriman at this stage of his career.

Dumb old guy question: does that mean he's fast? I sure hope he's blazing fast.

Ummm.... Why can't we have Gibson and Merriman?

It's pathetic how desperate I feel.

Want pass rush now.

I like Gibson. We got lucky since the Steelers didn't have room on the roster for a 4th round pick that didn't produce right away. We, on the the other hand, have eh... eh... a tiny bit of room. Always good to have a few OLBs in a 3-4 (or converted to DEs in a 4-3)... Cheers!

then merriman is the worst solution for that.

People who want Merriman just want him because they recognize the name. The guy hasn't done anything for years except get injured all the time and disappear during games. I would rather have a young guy drafted in the midrounds by a team known for getting good LB's, who was released only because they needed more depth on the line due to injury.
