Saints believe 'it won't be too long' before Stephone Anthony returns

Well something f*cking happen between Anthony's first season and now, and I know his football IQ didn't suddenly dropped...
You don't get 112 tackles, one sack, one interception, and two forced fumbles as a Rookie by not being around the ball... Anthony was the first Saint rookie linebacker to record 100+ tackles since Dome Patrol Legend Rickey Jackson... Besides leading all NFL rookies in tackles, Stephone also returned and scored the first blocked kick for 2pts in NFL history... It's simple - Stephone Anthony's decline coincides with Dennis Allen becoming the Defensive Coordinator... Dennis Allen needs to extricate his head from his @ss and find a way to make this work with Anthony... If not, this is on Sean Payton and the Mickster to reclaim their reps as competent NFL Personnel People... They've got to get these two on the same page as the Saints need Anthony's first round talent on the field... Working for them, not another team, against them...

Not sure why we are so concerned with Anthony getting in the field. If he got beat out, appears he did, or isn't available because he can't stay healthy how does that fall on Allen?

B&G,
IIRC you predicted that Stephone would be cut this year. Initially I thought it was an extreme prognostication but now it doesn't appear to be that far fetched  .

Re: Saints believe 'it won't be too long' before Stephone Anthony returns
To be honest, I really don't care if he starts or not. I just want the best 3 out there. I mean, sure it'd be great if we didn't blow a first round pick a few seasons ago, but at this point I'm happy with whoever gives the defense the best chance.

Re: Saints believe 'it won't be too long' before Stephone Anthony returns
I agree with best 3 (or 4 in some cases) on the field. I don't see it being Anthony though. Said it numorous times. Something is going on with Anthony we don't know.

If Stupar needs to hit IR with his quad then we'll keep Anthony for insurance. I hope he gets his act together. We'll see what Nolan can do with hm.

Anthony is 3-4 ILB. I think he's having a hard time adjusting to the 4-3 as well as him not necessarily being used to his strengths.

It's still just the preseason, but the Saints have played three quality games now; Is it OK to hope?
