He is a solid run stopper if healthy but has had knee issues the past few years.

Saints #1 issue is stopping the run between the tackles. Second is getting rookies to set a hard edge on the outside.

SLB is second. Luke to MLB by 2018 please.

A bigger, faster SS with solid coverage skills is Third.

CB is always in need.

Stopping the run between the tackles is always first

Why are some people saying our run D between tackles is bad? I haven't seen one of those holes up the middle that are "big enough to drive a truck through" yet. Now I'll agree, we aren't getting the push we need in the middle, but we aren't getting smoked either. But compared to the past, where the run defense was so bad we felt we had to move for Sullivan, it has been halfway decent in recent years.

YEs but you never stop looking for improvement either. And if you can ge a guy to demand double teams it will help our rush. I think this serves 2 purposes - always looking to get better and figure a way to get a rush.
