Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Uh-oh, he mentions how good this draft is for CB, S, and RB. Please don't take a running back! And can we get some FN linebackers, for Pete's sake?! Am I the only one who thinks our LB corps has been sub-par for years? Even going back to Haslett days, too little attention was given to upgrading speed and playmaking at linebacker. At least we had Vilma for a little while, and I'm encouraged by Anthony's stoutness, when healthy. I'd like to see an injection of talent at OLB. Anyone else?

Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
I watched this this morning. He's not going to show his hand regarding the draft. So I wouldn't take much he said as reality.
I'm pretty positive we're going LB and pass rusher first. Unless someone is targeted in FA. |

Stupar, Ellerbe, Anthony, FA Carolina, Robertson would improve our lb.'s. It's all in vein without crushing the pocket, insert NT to beef the middle, resign Kruger and Ediboli at DE.

More importantly, the Saints have added Mike Nolan to coach up our LB crew. |

I'm just glad we didn't sign Kruger to that massive deal that Payton originally planned before Cleveland beat us to him.
