Exactly. I'm of the thinking that his collegiate coaching carried him through his rookie year...

And then between D.A. and Vitt, he got thrown off course as in only his second year...

Nolan will provided stability for the linebackers and make it the strength of not only the defense, but the team...

While my personal preference is for Anthony to start at the Mike, I just want to see him get a real shot with a real LB coach...

Where does Kline fit in? Maybe Dennis had no idea what he was doing with Stephone last season, no? I'm sure Nolan has spent countless days of film study to see why SA was not successful last year & how he plans on fixing it.

I think if SA succeeds, it's going to be at the MIKE position. Coach em up Nolan!

In the recent articles about the Nolan and the linebackers, there's a quote of Dennis Allen that pretty much indicates Nolan showed him some things on coaching, communicating with individuals...

Mike Nolan, savvy, veteran coach that he is, just has a natural way of communicating and get his players to respond that they're processing his lessons or neaux...

To you're original question about Klein, in an article a few weeks back, Klein revealed he's been seeing time at both Mike and Sam and that Saints coaching told him as much; he played SAM in Carolina and had the speed and skills to cover tight ends and most running backs...

While the Saints like their 3-safety sets with Vaccaro coming up in a Thomas Davis role, I suspect now that the talent has improved at the LB position, we'll see more base sets with Klein-Anthony-Anzalone...
