Never heard of Barrington but Keo isn't too bad.

Are they ST guys or legit at their positions?

I've heard of Barrington. He played for Green Bay.

I've seen Barrington make a few plays and GB. He's one of those players I have seen play and wondered to myself "why don't our linebackers ever look like this guy?"

Keo is also a player I've heard of, only because I remember him successfully lobbying via twitter for the Broncos to sign him after he was cut (he had a history with Wade Phillips).


EDIT - From his wiki page:

Denver Broncos[edit]

On December 9, 2015, Keo was signed by the Denver Broncos after tweeting former coach Wade Phillips, to "keep him in mind if another roster opening came around".[6] In the regular season's final game on January 3 against the San Diego Chargers, Keo intercepted a tipped ball off Phillip Rivers which ultimately led to the game-winning touchdown drive.

I think both guys are more reserved for special teams. I think Keo also played for the Texans before the Broncos.

At this point, every LB that isn't currently on an active roster should be on our radar.

Sean talked at half-time about how too many of our starters were having to play ST's and there was nothing we could do about it at the time.


Wednesday were doing something about it.


Apparently were trying to get guys like Stupar/Robertson off the special teams squad and with a short week following this game you don't want those guys playing more snaps than they need to be. Just navigating the schedule....nothing to see here.

Go special teams!

Go special teams!

We need it, it's important. Last game we won in spite of horrible ST play on both returning and covering. Can't happen against better teams.

Barrington is a decent linebacker for the pack. I like the addition.

I remember Keo on the Broncos. But I don't remember him actually doing anything.

Is Sam Barrington on the genealogy chart with the late 1969 Saint Tom Barrington?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
