In fairness he did a fine job, especially in the secondary. The big issue that remains somewhat of a problem is the pass rush.

<p>They still lack that ace who doesn’t need fancy scheme or lots of help to get the quarterback. Grabbing Harold Landry changes that. The Boston College standout was nearly unstoppable last year with 16.5 sacks. He’s got that look of a 3-4 outside linebacker with the long arms, quick burst athleticism and high motor off the edge. Put him on that fast turf in Indianapolis and it could be a match made in heaven.</p>. OLB. Boston College. Harold Landry . 14. player
