I think we would all like to have some more depth at LB but I think it is critical that the Saints aquire a run stuffing DT. Not a 3-tech like Ellis or Pressley, but a true run stuffer. I believe that is the only thing we are missing on the d-line, we have good DEs, a disrutive 3tech in Ellis, etc. We just need that Hollis Thomas type in the rotation to help defend the run. It was evident tonight that the run defense wasn't too hot and it's been reported on all through training camp.

I'd much rather the Saints spend some of the 5/6mil they have left in cap space on a DT rather than some ancient LB who will see limited reps.

Whom would you suggest? Which DT is available on the market right now?

I keep wondering if Charles Grant can play DT next to Ellis. That would let McCray spend more time at DE. Anyone think this would work? Grant, Smith, McCray and Ellis would be the front four (eventually).
