Surely there is a reason they passed on Kwon and a few others.

I have a feeling Demario would be playing if this were the regular season. One thing I have noticed since Dr. Matt Rhea came on board is that at the earliest sign of soft tissue issues they shut the player down, especially in the preseason.

And let's not forget that most of us casual fans didn't think Kaden Ellis was anything to hang a hat on until he got a chance with Werner sidelined. I'm sure the coaches knew about his capabilities. We have seven LB on the roster right now behind Davis and Werner. They can't all be busts. I'm not saying to not make a move to improve, but things may not be as dire as some may believe.

That is a valuable snippet about Kaden Ellis being an unknown until he took the field when Werner missed time last year. We are pretty good at developing players who need time and coaching to get it together. The thing is that we have better player evaluations and bring in young players who have the physical tools but need coaching and/or strength training.

Demario having an injury should allow us to see what we have behind Davis. Fortunately, it's a soft tissue injury that can heal with proper training and rehab. The Saints LB depth looks promising and the young players have had strong camps.

We finally get to see them in action this Sunday and I'm as excited as a teenager on his first date.
