What to do with Curtis Lofton?
 
Curtis Lofton is a tackling machine, with that said he is a liability in coverage, do we trade him for a good draft pick or keep him?

If we did trade him we wouldn't get a high draft pick so I see us keeping him.. I'm sure he won't look so weak in coverage once we get some help around him from yhe corners and lbs.

If he can't cover, don't put him in situations where he has to. Play your players to their strengths, not to a scheme. Roman Harper and Lofton shouldn't even see the field on passing downs.

Its his last season without a restructure. $9ml in 2015 for a ILB that cant cover,only $2ml dead money so restructure or go imo

As well as the defense played this year, I don't think they should mess with things too much. Although, I do think ILB is a position of concern in the future.

Well, you've got two QBs that run the read option playing for a conference championship this weekend. What does that tell you?

Has it really come to us questioning our best ILB?

lol It shouldnt
Lofton played really good this year. I do think we need more speed at LB but I dont think Lofton is a player the Saints need to get rid of just yet.

Rez, that's fine if we knew on each down what the opposing offense was going to do...

And I get what your saying about the obvious situations, but something has to be done for all three downs; just don't get that we no longer have three down players and they make 5x's what the players of the 80's made...
