Saints' secondary will not be downfall of this team

thats true, but i dont think we can stop the run... to stop the run u need good linebackers and a push from the middle and until sullivan proves his worth then we just dont have that.... while i like our Dline and the rush we will get from them i still think that we wont stop anyone from running it down our throat.

I totally agree with Pak on this. Our LB unit isn\'t in shouting distance of being like the dome patrol. Our guys might be adequate (even though I\'m geeked about the possibility of Watson turning into a very good player). I just haven\'t got any confidence in our LB\'s to hold up at the point of attack or keep RB\'s out of the secondary. I get this sick feeling every time a RB gets more than 2 yards of the line of scrimmage, because they have a better than average chance of ripping off a long gain.
