Anthony Opening Eyes

QBREES9 · 08-04-2015, 12:18 AM

The Saints also picked up a first-round draft pick, one they used on linebacker Stephone Anthony. The rookie out of Clemson may never have teamed with Graham, but they will be forever linked by the trade.

By the looks of things, he is doing everything necessary to stand out on his own.

I wish we were getting the old Raven's Ellerbe. His biggest battle will be staying healthy.

The "old" Ellerbe was just 3 years ago.

I read he was jacked to join the Saints, specifically to play OLB - his natural position - after playing ILB in Miami for two years.

He played ILB with the Ravens and is excited to get back to it in a 3-4 format. We are going to run the 4-3 under as a base defense but as I have explained this is nearly identical to the 3-4.

In Miami Ellerbe played out of position. He'll be a much better fit if we use him more like a ILB.

Health is the key.

I still think Denzel Perriman a would have been the better choice just my humble opinion but hopefully he get the job done

Anyone making any plays at LB anytime will be an improvement.

This what I like to hear!

Finally a LB drafted in the first round and he is poised to be a great player!
