But yeah, I'm really curious to see how Baun is used in 2021.

IF Baun will be used

I'm with you 100 though, in his short stint with New Orleans he was solid & I hope he's back with us in 2021.

Twitter…. I started tuning in just before free agency for any breaking Saints updates. Within a few days I was reminded why I avoid it. What a cesspool of negativity and hate.

Twitter will wither away eventually, once the lawsuits pile up.

Not so long as the Federal government passes legislation to #BigCorps giving companies like #Twitter, #Facebook, #GoogleYouTube cover...

Should the legal system be returned to the people from special interests of large corporations and trial lawyers lobbies, things will not change in this country...

Social media showed its power in the 2016 election cycle; a candidate was able to circumvent the stranglehold one party had television networks in 2016...

In the 2020 cycle, it confirmed that power when it was brought into the fold of a corrupt sphere of ideologues and that influence was restricted to one side...

Just imagine Pete Werner covering Kyle Pitts twice a season.

If the Saints new DE Turner works out and guys like Granderson keep trending up, and the fact that Matt Ryan still doesn't have great pass protectors, Werner covering Pitts might not scare me all that much.

Lol so our hope of slowing down a beast like Kyle Pitts lies in Payton Turner and Big Creep Granderson?! Oh lawd.

We both know that Werner won't be asked to cover Pitts all game long. Shoot, maybe Werner won't be asked to cover him at all.

My point is, and you probably got the gist, I'm hoping that the Saints have a D-line similar to the Saints D-line of 2000. The Falcons O-line is subpar and Ryan won't be able to get the ball to Pitts if he has no time to set up.

Was watching some footage on PW. He looked very good in zone coverage. I understand the NFL is a different animal but he seems to shed blocks well and is fluid in his direction.

Tough guy too. Didn't miss game days at OSU. Availability at this level is so important.

Having a former HS safety at LB alongside Demario could be a good thing.
