Welcome to the Analzone.

I'm surprised they're not playing Klein at the Mike any, especially with how good Robertson was outside last year.

@MikeTriplett: Saints DT Sheldon Rankins dropped and did a set of push ups after he didn't get much push against G Larry Warford in 1-on-1 pass-rush drill

But but but our DT....

Fuller about to be our #3 WR

Robertson was playing Mike almost the entire year (once Laurinaitis was done). He only played outside 4 games I believe. That said he looked good pretty much every game so he can play inside or out.

And Klein seemed to do much better in his spot starts on the outside than when he had to fill in for Kuechly last year. Seemed to struggle a bit at Mike. That's why his signing for the price it was is still the most baffling offseason move (though I'm willing to see where it goes).

He did get reps at Mike in the nickel sets though, and I imagine he'll get some in base at some point.

I'll be very curious to see who the starters are in game 1 of the preseason. That will tell us what they're really thinking about the LBs.

Yeah let's not overlook that Warford may be legit, though you never like to hear that a DT is getting rolled backwards like that. Could just be a "rookie" vs. vet technique thing though.
