Seantavius Jones and Evans are gone. Browner and KRob will also be gone.

We've got 'hot spots' across the board:

On defense, we need starters at Nose Tackle, Defensive End and upgrades at Free Safety, Weakside Linebacker; also need depth Middle Linebacker...

On offense, we need starters at Right Guard, Left Guard and Tight End and X receiver to groom behind Colston and interior offensive line depth...

In the kicking game, we need a PAT and inside the 45 money kicker...

See above for what we could look like on defense in a 3-4 with what we have now on the roster, under contract and with the possible Browner release...

New England wants him back big time. As a matter of fact it has been rumored he is there #1 must resign FA But might be to costly to resign.

Look the saints screwed up with him. He has more than proven that many of us here were right and he should have been used at DT. As a DT he exploded at the end of the year. Shined as a pass rusher and run-defender with the Pats.

But the Pats will never over use him. He is part of a rotation. The saints tried to get way too many snaps out of him. but we have been saying this for years about many of our defensive players.

way too many snaps to stay fresh for an entire game much less 16

Reflection of the team depth and/or coaching.

ok Rob is to blame

Three biggest concerns looking at the Saints Roster:

1) We have no reliable size at wide receiver/tight end.

2) We have no size/depth on the interior of our offensive line.

3) We have a very shaky backstop/center field on defense.

Care to guess what the average age of our roster is now?
