Saints finally stable at linebacker, but who plays where?

Did we not previously waste another draft pick on an injury prone UF linebacker?

Ronald Powell ... he went in the 5th due to his medical. Never got past special teams while with the Saints.

Seems like injuries always put a dent in us here.

How do you feel about our depth?

Rugby Saint II · 05-16-2018, 12:16 PM

We may not be spectacular but we're solid and have proven depth so that we shouldn't lose a beat if a player goes down. Teo and Robertson were life savers last year when we brought them in after injuries forced them on the field.

Literally never understand why Robertson is listed as 2nd string when he's our most complete and consistent player at LB.

+1. Very consistent and productive. I was glad he got that million dollar bonus (percentage of snaps) last season. At worst, Craig has been great depth.

I'm just glad the days of Stephone Anthony & James Laurinitus (he was really bad) are behind us at MLB.

Nolan has a really good group to work with.

I'd like to have a candid, off-the-record conversation with Nolan about Stephone Anthony and find out what went wrong without Payton's historical revisionism...

I like Robertson but towards the end of last season he looked like he was running on stilts.
