Saints Trade LB Stephone Anthony to Dolphins

Time will tell a lot with this one. Only because Mike Nolan is here do I feel even somewhat ok with this. If Nolan hasn't been able to coach him up maybe something really is missing. But I will say this (& I know I am stating the obvious) if he goes to Miami at balls out, HUGE indictment to our entire organization.

I honestly hope he makes it, and does well. I want to see us succeed but if there really is a cancer or something wrong with the culture on airline it needs to be exposed.

Sean benches Sterling Moore (now injured) for an entire game #1 when we could have used his vet leadership, Crawley is a healthy scratch in two games, Kenny Vacarro not knowing why he's been benched on a play, Adrian Peterson has been rarely used in the run game, DA defensive game plan in question, etc.

I don't think we need to see 8 more games before saying Dennis Allen is the wrong man for the DC job.

We gave up SA after he led in tackles with his stellar rookie season. We didn't see a decline in his performance the following year, we seen coaches decide not to play him and switch him to a different position. The only good thing coming from this trade is that I get a chance to see if those rumors are true about his unable to learn a defense and perform.

What system does Miami play on defence?

4-3 ... Suh and Wake are still arriving with bad intentions. We'll be challenged in this one.

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

I dont think we need to see another snap to realize that....He's not going to turn anything around defensively, at least not here

The Saints defense is a liability in coverage.

Anyone trying to cover Gronk is a liability in coverage.
