Courtney Watson

Danno,

First things first!!

I have concerns about every single LB on this team. Bockwaldt, Allen, Watson, etc., ect....

But, in this particular thread, I wanted to talk about Courtney Watson. Maybe that\'s why the \"title\" of this thread is \"Courtney Waton\"?!

All I hear you doing is comparing Watson to the other Saints\' linebackers in order to say \"he\'s the best we\'ve got.\" Yeah, so what? That ain\'t saying a whole hell of a lot and it doesn\'t make me feel any better about Watson.

Why don\'t you compare Watson with some of these proven MLB in free-agency and tell me which one\'s better?

I\'d love to replace all 3-linebacker spots with proven guys. But, that just isn\'t practical. For my money, MLB is more important and that\'s where I want to improve.

I happen to think Bockwaldt played well at WLB and I don\'t think Watson played that well at MLB. That does not mean I think Bockwaldt is the answer, though. Just means I feel better about Bockwaldt than Watson.

You feel differently and that\'s fine. And I respect your opinion.

But, don\'t be telling me that my opinion is laughable.

With your plan, we have no one else but Watson at MLB.

With my plan, we get a proven MLB and Watson can slide over to WLB.

You don\'t think Watson can play there?

Sorry, I meant to edit out the laugable comment. Its not laughable.

I do think Watson can probably play the WLB as well as the SLB position. And you are in good company with Mike Detillier thinking the same thing. I have much respect for Mike\'s opinion.

At least we\'re discussion the appropriate unit for a change.

I love this. My contention was it appeared you were singling out Watson when many think he\'s probably the only one worth keeping on this entire unit. But it was merely an assuption based on the fact that the title of this thread was \"Courtney Watson\".

If the right MLB is available in FA, then I\'m OK with it. I\'d rather get a SLB or a WLB 1st but thats my opinion.

As long as we\'re discussing linebackers I\'m on cloud nine. :heartpump:
