Weakest Position on Team

foreverfan · 11-23-2009, 12:45 PM

If you had to pick the weakest position on the team, or positions that need to be address in the offseason, what would they be?

YOU CAN VOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE!

Backup QB...

At this point, I would say defensive tackle. With Big Sed out the last few games and Clancy out for the year, it has been excruciating watching teams run up the gut on the Saints the last few games. Ayodele, Pressley, and Hargrove have played ok, but nothing special.

DL
I don't think we are as good as we should be on that DL. I'd give it another season or so before Greg really does something with it. I still don't like Grant in there for the money he's making.

ST
Playing pretty sharp and smart lately but I still would like us to be better.

I'd like to see another interior D lineman, another OT and someone to challenge Goodwin at center.

LB - Big problems behind the starters
DT - Ok depth, but with starters out we suffer when the starters are injured. Of course, that would be true of any team I imagine
C - I don't even know who the backup is, and Goodwin is in his ninth season I think.

I voted because this is not a power ranking, it's an estimate of need consensus.

I voted DT. Klancy excelled only bc Ellis was there. Just imagine an Ellis clone starting opposite Ellis... Grant and Smith would have 12 sacks each.

Of course ... Our defense has slipped a bit since the injuries ...
