"Ice up!" & bring it at camp.

Offseason article stated he was injured early and just never recovered - come back strong, finish strong...

But I like that we have Robertson and Stupar on Ready-Five and they both can play all three LB positions...

Looking forward to what these rookie UDFA can bring...

Curious to see if Kikaha can transition back now to SAM or if this is his last days as a Saint...

Our defense took a downturn the minute he went down. He was a difference maker.

Difference maker? He did nothing special outside of getting men lined in the right formations pre snap & missed out on several INTS (Davis had 5 INTs last season). Some would argue that Teo & Robertson had a greater "impact" last season in a limited role.

A difference maker is a player who can IMPACT the game on any given play. You know, guys like Lattimore, Marcus Williams and Cam Jordan.

All moot on Klein because Davis is the new man in the middle.
