Everyone says we need a safety from us to the draft gurus. I think we tend to forget about IQ the undrafted FA we picked up. Small school kid that came in an impressed in our limited off season. Towards the end of the year he got more playing time and seemed somewhat impressive when he was in there. With a full off season and training camp I think he has a good chance to come in and push or supplant the Neck.

Thoughts anyone?

that, and Quddus wasn't too bad.

I still think Jenkins and Harper can be a pretty good Safety duo in the right system.

Give us a damn pass rush, though.

So you want the Saints to switch to a 3-4 and then have Roman Harper play the OLB in said 3-4 defense? You are crazy if you think Harper could have success there.

In a 3-4 defence both outside LB's has to have the ability to put their hand in the dirt and rush the passer. Harper were to do this his arse gonna get trucked by a 325lb tackle or pulling guard.

Why does this keep coming up?
We are not better suited for the 34. We have a lot more d-line talent /depth than we do at LB.
Vilmas on the decline, Shanle is horrible, Herron or whatever his name is was a waste.

I agree that we don't have the right line backer's for 3-4. The 3-4 kind of makes a lb's job easier though. It's actually better for teams with awesome lineman, and then average lb's. You just got to have one freak olb to make it work right.


We have neither

Yeah, people need to kiss that dream goodbye.

By the way, wtf happened to Turk McBride? I know he was injured for a while, but he was never activated again after he got better.
