Saints Sign LB Craig Robertson

RaginCajun83 · 03-22-2016, 08:34 PM

I'm still hoping a stud OLB falls to 12 in the draft

ChrisXVI · 03-22-2016, 08:50 PM

Good news is Payton talks to the media tomorrow so maybe he'll shed some light on how we plan on using guys like Laurinaitis and Robertson.

As LBs, since when has Payton ever disclose Intel to the media

Add a pass rusher/space eater or two in the upcoming draft and things could get interesting this year on D.

love sneaky signings under the radar. DA has his head screwed on straight. Unlike Rob who had his so far up ..... never mind

Robertson specializes in pass coverage. Sub-package player.

Folks do not look now but the saints may have a rotation forming at LB.

As for Kikaha at DE I kinda like the idea. His best football is attacking and behind the line of scrimmage.

Can not wait to see what the saints do in the draft to keep us guessing. 2 ILB is a shocker.

We were run on all season right up the middle. We needed another ILB and to try our rookie somewhere else. Still need a NT who can stop the run.

great addition to the linebacking corps. Special K will definitely be a DE. With emphasis in the draft being defensive line, CB and Safety

As long as we don't get caught up in our "special projects" during the draft. The undevelopable developmental types...

From his press conference today here's what I gathered:

- Stupar and Robertson are core special teamers.
- Kikaha will go full-time DE
- Anthony could move to strong side LB

That's mostly what we've all speculated about but now I believe a little more that Laurinaitis will play Mike and Anthony is moving over.

This sounds like a really good signing. DA might have started something here.
