Wow, JP ...

Hadn't seen this much red since that Thermodynamics Engineering exam.

James L simply isn't getting it done in the middle thus far.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Craig Robertson is doing everyones job at LB

Laurinitus finished last weeks game with 1 tackle and 2 assisted tackles

Robertson finished with 13 tackles i believe.

No one can tell me Laurinitus is better than Stephone Anthony.

The coaches made him a scape goat so they could justify signing Laurinitus saying that Anthony didn't get the D lined up properly.

It was not Anthony's fault the D line couldn't get pressure and brandon browner got burned or flagged every play.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Robertson's been a tackling machine. He led the league in tackles going into the week and is still tied for 17th having played one less game than everyone ahead of him. He needs 10 tackles tonight to take back the lead.

Saints' Dannell Ellerbe, Kenny Vaccaro on practice field; Terron Armstead not present

(excerpt) The New Orleans Saints could be on the road to a healthier roster for Week 4's road game against the San Diego Chargers...

Linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (quad), safety Kenny Vaccaro (ankle), wide receiver Willie Snead (toe), defensive tackle Tyeler Davison and tight end Josh Hill (ankle) were observed on the field Wednesday participating in the stretching and conditioning portion of practice open to the media...

Unfortunately, left tackle Terron Armstead, who missed Week 3 with a knee injury, and offensive lineman Senio Kelemete were not observed on the field.

Kelemete suffered a hamstring injury against the Atlanta Falcons and did not finish the game.

Defensive end Obum Gwacham was also not observed on the field and his status is unclear.

Cornerback Delvin Breaux remains absent while he recovers from surgery to repair a broken fibula...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Robertson is easily our best free agency signing this year; PFF has said Nick Fairley was our best deal this year, but I've seen more of an impact from Robertson than any other free agent on defense...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Absolutely!

I like the way Fairley's contract was set up too. $3million, down from $5million the Rams paid him last year, but with built in incentives.

250,000 each for 45, 55, 65% of snaps
$250,000 each for 4, 5.5, 7 sacks
35% of snaps + 4 sacks: $250,000

If he hits all the incentives, he makes $4.75 million. That would be the best season of his career for less than he was making last year.

But Robertson has got to be the deal of the offseason. $1.7 mil, down from $2.3 million the Browns were paying him and he's on pace for over 120 tackles. That would be double his best year with the Browns. He's clearly been the best linebacker we've put on the field this year.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

This is the man (Robertson) that we should be signing to an extension...
