Triplette: Why can't Saints develop linebackers?
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; It's the coaching, or lack thereof, from Joe Vitt... With all the linebackers we've drafted, even if they weren't first, second rounders, we should have had one that stuck and was at least serviceable... 2006 R5 OLB/DE Rob Ninkovich, Purdue ...

With all the linebackers we've drafted, even if they weren't first, second rounders, we should have had one that stuck and was at least serviceable... 2006 R5 OLB/DE Rob Ninkovich, Purdue 2007 R7 LB Marvin Mitchell, Tennessee 2009 R4 LB Stanley Arnoux, Wake Forest 2011 R3 LB Martez Wilson, Illinois 2011 R7 LB Nate Bussey, Illinois 2013 R6 DE/LB Rufus Johnson, Tarleton State 2014 R4 LB Khairi Fort, California 2014 R5 LB Ronald Powell, Florida A pretty pathetic list, but here's where I still put this on Vitt... One, the assistant coaches are as much of the draft evaluation/decision-making as the scouts (who Joe Sr. has made sure Joe Jr. has a job with the Saints)... Second, not even a backup or special teamer in there, not one?!? Vitt needs to go; reassignment of duties at the least... |

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
