And either Mauti was struggling again with health and maintaining weight, or the two rookie UDFA looked better that he was released...

On paper, the 2018 LB group appears to be solid.

Missed opportunities (fumbles & INT's) in 2017 is partially the reason he (Klein) graded out low. I'll be curious to see if Nolan slides him over to SAM full time.

I only wish Demario was 25 instead of 29 years of age. Saints must capitalize on his ability this season.

It's our time.

And deep, we're at least six deep; and this unit looks as good as the 2009/10 LB corps...

Let's compare the 2018 Training Camp Roster to the 2009/10 Championship Roster...

'09 SLB 55 - Scott Fujita, 54 - Troy Evans
'18 SLB 53 - A.J. Klein, 44 - Hau'oli Kikaha/55 – Jayrone Elliot (RFC)

'09 MLB 51 - Jonathan Vilma, 50 - Marvin Mitchell
'18 MLB 56 - DeMario Davis, 51 - Manti Te'o/54 - Nate Stupar/58 - Colton Jumper

'09 WLB 58- Scott Shanle, 59 - Anthony Waters, 52 - Jonathan Casillas
'18 WLB 47 - Alex Anzalone, 52 - Craig Robertson/59 - KeShun Freeman

Hau'oli Kikaha/55 ... "bubble" player perhaps.

Kikaha just lacks the speed to run with tight ends, running backs in coverage...

He really should be on a 3-4 defense which is what we drafted him and Anthony to do...
