| Biography: |
| The Reign of Wali in the middle of the Browns defense is over, thanks to the signing of former Steelers’ inside linebacker Earl Holmes. A ferocious hitter who led the Steelers in tackles the last three seasons, the 28-year-old Holmes was the leader of an outstanding defensive unit. Holmes is a true force against the run, and he joins fellow free agent run-stoppers Robert Griffith and Kenard Lang on a Browns defense desperately needing to stop opposing RBs.
At 6’2” and 245 pounds, Holmes was among the higher profile linebacker prospects in free agency, but he’s not a sure thing. Critics worry about Holmes’ pedestrian foot speed—an issue he shares with the departed Wali Rainer--and a knee injury late last season that limited his play. While Holmes will certainly elevate play at the crucial MLB spot, he may see only limited action on passing downs. The question is, will his contribution be enough to make a good linebacking corps great?
