Another solid signing. I don't know much about this guy but he has good size and should create some good competition at the LB spot in practice. I have been a little disappointed in the play of both Restelli and Peach, I know they are both rookies, maybe I expected too much. They both need to play better if the ESKS are going to make a Cup run!! Go ESKS!!
