This is his specialty and he is one of the better ones in the NFL.

Just do not over pay the toy in 2018.

But Rob Roy had his dream and Pro Bowl SS Malcolm Jenkins was not part of that dream. So two first round picks spent on one position. Bit costly for a S/LB

Rob Ryan was the biggest mistake of the Sean Payton Era

I doubt getting rid of Jenkins was Rob Ryan's decision, letting Jenkins go to sign Byrd has Sean Payton written all over it.

Just like when he tried to pay upwards of 50 mil for Paul Kruger but the Browns outbid him.

But all of that is in the past. Personnel moves have been much better over the past two years and things are really looking up.

Bad coaching on Malcolm. I asked myself, how do you go from the worst rated safety in the NFL to one of the best? ... Coaching. If a player is struggling ...coach em up!!! MJ had a ton of flaws but glad he turned it around.

when your getting players to fit a coaches system it amazes me how coaches dodge the blame and the FO gets to be the scape goat.

I would've consider Max Unger a Top 5 Saint on this roster...

Third. Guido, I rather believe after Brees and Cam Jordan, he's that important a piece to what we do...

All this brouhaha over Armstead, and the talking heads forget we went more than half the season without him...

If I have any trepidation about the upcoming season, it's Unger getting healthy to manage Brees' protection...
