A strong safety, he's joining a team with soaring expectations after the Bears reached the Super Bowl last season. He's back with Smith, the Bears' head coach who was his defensive coordinator with the Rams.
And he's in a scheme that will emphasize his strength -- stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback -- rather than expose his weaknesses in coverage. The Bears won't ask him to cover the top wide receiver. Instead, he'll try to apply pressure, create chaos and control the run. Put simply, he'll be in position to do the things that allowed him to get 15 sacks and 547 tackles during five seasons in St. Louis -- unlike last season in Washington.
