The latest I can find ...

Saints' Justin Zimmer acclimating to defensive scheme, seeks to make impact

How does a previous disappointment as a draft pick signed as a free agent earn this high of a ranking on our roster?

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Here's to hoping Adam makes the most of his opportunity. He's not only my dark horse to make the team, but contribute on special teams.
Good luck:bng: .

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

So NFL Network is showing the Panthers-Raiders game from last season and all I can think is we're in trouble if AJ Klein is our starting Mike. It's just one game but it's a brutal performance. Definitely hoping he's put at Sam.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

So Manti Teo' still has a chance at MIKE :wink:?

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I admit I'm being a little unfair to Klein because after all it was only his second game starting at Mike after Kuechly's concussion. He could do very well at Mike for us after preparing for it all offseason with Mike Nolan.

I need to go watch some Chargers games because I haven't paid one bit of attention to Manti Teo's pro career. You think he could really do some good things for us huh?

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I was only joking as it relates to Teo' however I'm with you Chris 100% on Klein ... meh. Honestly I have no idea how the MLB spot is going to shake out but I do know that we actually have talent, depth ad a proven LB coach. That's something we haven't been able to say in quite a while. Whoever starts will do so because the coaching staff feels they are best suited to help us win. I don't expect Nolan to sugar coat anything. Give him a couple of months more to study film and watch the linebackers as a group.

FWIW, I hope Stephone gets his job back in year #3. I refuse to give up on him.
