No reason he can’t be our starting strong side LB since it’s such a small role these days anyway.

Kaden Ellis ceiling is special teams.

He could easily meet my expectations, because my expectations are pretty low.

Special teams players are needed.

They are and I never said otherwise AG.

I'm glad Kaden is excelling there. It wouldn't surprise me if he earns that "C" placed on his jersey for special teams. Robinson probably won't be resigned in New Orleans anyway.

Simply not ready to anoint him as starter alongside DD.

Relax, I wasn't saying you had said otherwise, K. I was piggybacking on your comment stressing the importance of special teams.

:cool:

If he is starter alongside DD then the Baughn pick is looking like another failed LB for the Saints.

You can't have too much depth. Davis may be gone after the 2023 season. While we have played two LB sets almost exclusively recently that may not be the future. Not every player will have the opportunity to start. That does not mean they are a failure.
