Since Ellerbe makes such a difference, is this an L?

Ellerbe played vs Lions and they still torched us.

I wouldn't say the Saints got torched by the Lions.

Ellerbe proves one thing. Add a good LB to this defense and it makes a difference.

He's not the answer since he only plays 1/3 of a season, but its obvious that when we field a competent LB beside Anthony, we play much better.

I think we're 4-1 when he plays.

Ellerbe is great when healthy... him and Kikaha are both play makers, but play makers are worthless on the sideline. Ellerbe isn't going to make the cut next year, I would love to think he could come back and play every game for us but it's not realistic. He has too long of an injury history now and he is only getting older. Hoping Kikaha can stay healthy and we draft a new LB early to fill out our 43 defense.

This may be Colston's last year. I see a retirement in his near future.
