Ellerbe producing as a pass rusher at career-best rate

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; At least we know what a fast, strong, smart , athletic LB looks like. It will be interesting to see what happens with Ellerbe in 2017. He is 31 and his long term health is a question mark. I'm hopeful ...

At least we know what a fast, strong, smart, athletic LB looks like.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Ellerbe in 2017. He is 31 and his long term health is a question mark. I'm hopeful we go after another LB in the early rounds of the next years draft.

A bad ass edge rusher sure would round out this defense nicely.. unfortunately they don't grow on trees so it's kind of a matter of luck getting one. Still though, I like the overall talent we've assembled. Mostly very young but seemingly ascending. A healthy season for all our starters would go a long way.
The extra pressure from the line might free up Kikaha, once he's back in the lineup. I'm optimistic.

Ellerbe? Really?

I pulled a groin muscle just reading that.

Amazing things happen when you actually take the field...

Can't understand with Stephone Anthony's athleticism why Allen can't groom Anthony to be Ellerbe's replacement...

It's the coaching...
