I'm not really taking issue with their LB diss.


I do because they didn't say we've had crappy LB play (which is true). They said LBs come here to die, implying they were better before they got here.

Davis is supposedly the best LB we'll have since Vilma. We haven't even had an elite, much less a high end, talent since he got hurt. It's all been midgrade or below and if anything guys have played above their level at times.

If they just said we've had very poor LB play I'd have no issue with it because I agree, but we haven't exactly been stocking the cabinets with high end stock. We've been shopping mostly wal-mart brand.

To each his own, but I still took the LB comment as no matter what the Saints have tried to fix LB play, nothing has worked (much like the attempted QB fixes & resulting failures in Cleveland...where QBs go to die).

Saints invest a 1st rounder & draft a promising prospect in Anthony...complete bust.
Saints sign Laurinaitis, the Rams' career leading tackler....goes to IR, then literally retires.
Saints bring in Lofton after a career year...LB unit still sucks & the Saints go 7-9 two out of the three years he is here.

Their larger point was issuing a buyer beware warning on Davis, who they obviously view as a one-year-wonder that now has to learn a 3rd defensive scheme in 3 years, implying don't be surprised if this fix doesn't work out again.

At least, that's they way I took it.
