this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Seems like all 3 LB's we've signed have a rep for being a tackling machine. Coincidence?...

If all these 3 are tackling machines our LB's will be the best group we've had for a while |

This would leave both Jenkins and A-Q (assuming Harper is suspended) to play a LS/RS scheme with better support for the CBs. I really like this signing of Hawthorne, and in the end, I would've probably picked him over Lofton if it would've been an either or type of a situation. |
