It will be tough losing Klein.

We are getting really thin at LB.

I thought Phillips was already on the roster. They elevated him when they put Fleener on IR.

Klein was a solid off season acquisition however I think the Saints FO will continue to look for a true MLB (we lack speed) this off season either FA or the draft. Klein has seen some extensive action at both SLB and MLB but most of his experience comes from SAM.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago but if you circle back to the 2017 off season, we attempted to draft Reuben Foster, acquire Navarro Bowman & Hightower (NE). That tells me that the FO is still committed to finding a true MIKE. Next year I think we either sign a STUD LB in the draft or acquire a vet who can cover, rush the passer & gets to the sidelines with authority.

Keep an eye on Zach Brown and Nigel Bradham (FA's in 2018).

Just my .02.

It sure seems like we have more of those than other teams.

He will be missed.
Have you researched that? It is one of the most common season ending injuries in the league.

No I haven't. Thats why I said "it seems"

I would be interested in some league wide stats tho.

it must be the boudain and cracklins, i've been researching sinse 2012, it weakens the wall cavity muscles, leaving fat in its wake, this report was studied at the festival buildings behind the best stop, and don's meat market. ps, several harley riders experiencing same conditions in earlier studies.

on a more serious notre, aj klien in my opinion is why we are a better defense period ,be his smarts or johnny on the spot. we re just better with him, sad to hear he wont be here for the super bowl babbbbbby.

I certainly don’t take PFF as gospel, however I do find it interesting that they have Klein rated 36.8... Good for second worst starting OLB in the league.

More than satisfied, once he become healthy their is know doubt he should continue at Mike in nickel situations

The defense looks a lot more organized and not as many guys out of position when Klein's on the field.
