re: Saints Linebackers

While I totally agree with you, LBrs are our weak point, I think most people, like myself who have mentioned this before, mentioned this Bc of particular d-line personnel we have.

Jordan was a 34 end in college
Bunkley was a 34 NT for the broncos
Wilson is the prototypical 34 OLB pass rusher
We currently have 2 MLBs in Lofton and Vilma
Hawthorne is your other OLB with Wilson standing up and either rushing or covering

So I mean it's not totally far fetched Bc we def have the personnel for it, but Spags is a 43 guy all the way.

ETA: Also, Chamberlain will be coming back from injury as Casillas finally seemed to stay on the field with regularity. I think a lot of our problems there had to do with a combination of Vitt and Vilma being suspended, Hawthorne being injured to start the year, and Chamberlain lost for the year. That's 3 starters and/or first off the bench guys we didn't have on the field to start and their position coach wasn't there for half the season and then had to become the head coach.

I'm not making excuses so much as those are reasons I have hope for next year they won't be so terrible (besides Lofton obviously)
