I saw his name mentioned in the Cuts/Pickups thread..

"The release of Howard comes as a bit of surprise. He was a fifth-round draft pick last season who appeared in nine games and produced 1 1/2 sacks and three quarterback pressures. The 6-0, 237-pounder also had a sack and a team-high four pressures during the preseason."

he got 1 sack and 3 QB pressures in 9 games...sign him, DPY.
He's the guy I wanted for the 9ers as a WILL rush LB...but probably doesn't fit the 3-4 scheme (too small).

He destroyed SEC tackles 1 on 1 strong or weakside.

I noticed he was playing the 4-3 with the colts .. probably why there hasn't been any talk from the niners.. How difficult is it to transition from a 4-3 DE to a WILL or a SAM?? Manny Lawson has not looked good either...

240 is about right for an olb in the 34. between there and like 260. he should be athletic enough. i say give him a shot if we dont trade for someone like merriman.
