You're up, Teo!

Crap. Our D is better with him in there. T'eo has been doing well, but A.J. is gonna be missed. Good thing we got them both this off-season.

Is everybody pretty satisfied with Klein? Do you feel good enough about him to move forward with him as our Mike next season? I don’t think he’s really much of a playmaker but he’s a smart player and that’s imperative for the position.

I think there are better Mikes out there but like you said he's smart and has played well for us. Probably not the most athletic guy, but he always seems to be around the ball. His years playing behind Keuchly has helped him.

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.

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