Rodgers isn't going to play every down so we need to get a good solid rotation on the DL.

Get your tickets to the SB now...

I think the rotation is a little more than solid. Maybe the best trio of DTs in the league...if everyone is healthy and in shape.

Well I don't know a thing about him. But y'all seem to think he is worth it, so he must be. I'm glad to see we still are pulling them in our D should be damn good this year.

@ProFootbalFocus: A.Franklin was our 2nd best graded DT lst yr vs. run, Rogers top pass-rushing DT over last 3 yrs, Saints now have both.

Just talked to former NFL scout Chris Landry, who called Aubrayo Franklin "the best DT prospect in the FA market. He's a big-time player."

Landry on AF:"(He's) 1 of a handful of elite interior (def) players in the league. This puts them @ a (talent) level they havent had in yrs"
