My thing is, when was the last time we had good LB play? 2009? Even then it wasn't a strong point

Saints had a remarkable LB corps with Vilma and Fujita. Only one that was on the low-end was Shanle, mostly due to age, not that he wasn't a pretty good player. He was a player we picked up at the end of his career.

But we haven't drafted at LB at all hardly. Our LB corps is made up of free agent LBs that came from 4-3 defenses, right? Just saying, its an area that has been woefully ignored, especially in the draft. Who knows where the decision came to run with these LBs? It could have been Vitt for all we know. My confidence in the current regime to make good decisions about current personnel has been somewhat diminished after last year's debacle with Charles Brown and this year's nonsense with the players.
