Saints Trade LB Stephone Anthony to Dolphins

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Teo' or Anzalone haven't shown me anything to solodify their roster spot at this point. Anzalone has been getting abused like a baby in coverage since pre-season...

Anzalone is a rookie. DA is not going all out like we all thought he would. I have a gut feeling the loss of Delvin Breaux may have some thing to do with.

I still would love to see Klien at MLB more if we can find SLB

Anzalone being a rookie is supposed to help me ignore the fact that he's been a liability in coverage

The Saints defense is a liability in coverage.

Anyone trying to cover Gronk is a liability in coverage.

AG,
We get it with Gronk. He's a beast, arguably the best in the NFL and has been for a while however that Saints defense has been a liability for years.

We gave up over 470 yards of offense to the Vikings in Week 1. Week 2, we gave up over 500 yards of offense to the Pats in the dome. Dennis Allen defense is giving up over 50% conversions on 3rd downs (that's the equivalent of 1 out of 9 drives), while allowing points on 2/3rds of possessions. That's flat out awful & unheard of. We still have Cam, Stafford & Rodgers who are good to elite quarterbacks.

I'm as optimistic as the next man but we have serious issues on defense & a very unkind schedule with QB's capable of embarrassing us (see Bradford and Brady), even Jay Cutler.

You're right. Gronk is special. But even if you take Gronk's numbers out, the Saints have still given up 661 yards in the air in two games. That would still be 31st in the league.

The only way to really minimize Gronk is a big fast SS which Kenny is not. Kenny is not fast nor is he big. He is a quick pest best up at the line. No I will not pull out my drum and start beating it, its in the shop getting ready for the draft. good year for SS.

My 2 favs to bang around with top TEs in the NFL are

Ronnie Harrison SS/FS/CB Alabama 6011 214 4.54 #15 Jr
Tre Flowers SS/FS Oklahoma St. 6021 198 4.54 #31 Sr

One with upside in coverage or one out to prove he has the coverage skills
Kyzir White SS/OLB West Virginia 6025 215 4.56 #8 Sr

All three are lights out hitters. They love making players blow snot bubbles.

You never stop Gronk you can only hope to minimize his impact. Kenny is not the answer

No but I was going for hope . Looking at his play I see the saints once again getting caught asking a LB to cover too long with no pass rush. They have a long history of asking fast LB to do this.

Not true. Anzalone has done very well. Are we really going to give up on him because he struggled against Brady/Gronkowski?
