Some good stuff for us Saints fans that never mind more info...

thanks for sharing

I wouldn't say clueless, but they are DEFINITELY not football people.

And these are the guys doing the grades for PFF. That's why I stress they are at best guidelines. They definitely don't know down to down what's happening each play. That much I can take away from the 3 videos I watched of them.

One thing they did nail, which was blatantly obvious to anyone with eyes, was Newton constantly overthrowing receivers, and the failed project of them trying to get tall arse receivers he can't overthrow. The outcome was he still found a way.

Aside from Anthony, what highly anticipated linebackers have the Saints signed recently?
I think Robertson and Teo both have played better than I expected. Klein is average but I don’t think anyone expected him to be Ray Lewis. Anzalone was known to have injury issues.

I must have missed where they signed Kuechly and he disappeared

I'm not really taking issue with their LB diss. It was seemingly a throw-away generalization for a repeatedly under-whelming unit.

And while last season was solid/effective, even the Saints brass knew to take a chance on FA Davis this year, with many of us also speculating they may draft a LBer in the 1st rd of the draft.

Bottomline, it's pretty obvious, even to outsiders, the Saints haven't really had a competent/effective set of LBs since Vilma & Fujita.

Shanle
Clark
Dunbar
Anthony
Laurenitis
Lofton
Haralson
Stupar

Not a star among them, imo. Maybe, you could make a case for a Lofton/Galette duo, but Galette was basically a 3-4 edge rusher.

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.

Oh, I believe Davis will be a great addition, Sway. The PFF guys in the video tho are not as optimistic.

Yeah my semi-realistic preferred wishlist of those positions are LB Rahsaan Evans, DT Maurice Hurst (if his medical makes him fall) and DE Harold Landry (who could be around the 20s).

All three can affect the passer. All three upgrade each position.

You just never know how a player will perform in a new scheme with new personnel surrounding him. That’s the crapshoot with FA. That’s all they were saying.
