re: I know the roster isn't set in stone yet, but LB'r is a giant hole in the roster right now

How can you consider Zach Baun a journeyman when we drafted him? A journeyman is someone who has played for a lot of teams.



That's not my interpretation of journeyman.

He's got more the three years of experience yet has not provens to have the capabilities to be counted on full time and any real capacity, but he has value in a limited roll.

Dowell and Baun have a combined 7 years on the Saints. They know how to play the LB'er positions as needed.
Not one single nfl team has no concerns going down to their 3rd and 4th player depth.
I know you have to follow the Saints closer than that if you think either Baun or Dowell could adequately fill in for more than a game. Baun has been a bust. Dowell is nothing more than a good special teamer. I also said "either" not both, so not asking whether you would be comfortable if both went down, but either. Werner has had injury issues and DD is getting long in the tooth.

Journeyman is typically someone who has jumped around from team to team catching on for short periods of time.

And it's not just me that thinks they have ok backups it's the staff as well. They would have already picked up a 3rd or 4th lb at this point if they were worried. I'm sure they will be keeping their eyes on improving it if they can.

Could it really be much worse?


Well, yeah. If the starters were crap, that would much worse.
