Saints Linebackers

Was watching the Giants @ Seahawks game...

Though the Giants ran out of gas on the road, they played tough...

Particularly their Linebackers; then of course the Seattle Linebackers took the field...

The speed of both teams Linebackers was out****ingstanding; closing corners, beating offensive linemen to nullify screen plays, even covering wide receivers (though on one play for the Giants that wasn't successful, even with the valiant, close effort)...

It really drove home the point that some of us have been making that aside from Parys Haralson, our Linebackers are awful, horrible...

Yeah, Galette has had recent success, but against what?!? Rookie Second Stringers?!?

In truth, after this season, I'd blow up the whole lot of the LB corps and start over...

In fact, I'd start playing the younger guys now for a tryout...

Immediately after the season, EVEN IF WE RAN THE TABLE, I'd discharge the weighted contracts of Lofton, Hawthorne...

Move Galette's contract if that's possible; or bite the bullet and put him in a time share with Kasim Edebali, who's speed is aging, wasted on the bench...

Then I'd tell Joe Vitt we need him to focus more on quality control with regards to jockstraps as we need a coach at that position; I'd even reach out to Dennis Allen...

And I put Loomis and the other bean counters who thought signing Galette to this current debacle was a good idea on notice...

The defensive line got it done last year, but it takes a front seven to CONSISTENTLY apply pressure no matter the opponent...

The LineBacking Corps is more embarrassing than Brees Turnovers...
