Other Day 4 news:
The Bombers have added import linebacker Chad Faulcon (6-0, 190, Montclair State). The 23-year-old Cranford, N.J. product was a two-year starter for the Red Hawks and named the New Jersey Athletic Conference and D3 Football.com East Regions’ Defensive player of the Year. He was also named a Division III third-team All-American. All those accolades earned him a tryout with the Atlanta Falcons, but he was released prior to their main training camp. He’ll battle for work at the WILL (weak side) linebacker position
Burke, who called out his veteran defensive backs on Tuesday, was happy with their response since the public shot."The effort level has picked up," he said. "I was really happy with it yesterday, it looked like a bunch of pirhanas out there with a piece of meat. That’s the kind of defence we want. We want guys flying to the football and you won’t do it in a game if you haven’t developed the habit in practice and that’s why we harp on it so much. Yesterday and today our effort has been much better."
RB Chris Garrett was back in action after missing the afternoon session on Tuesday, but SB Rory Kohlert pulled up lame Wednesday with a bad hamstring that will sideline him for a couple of weeks.
