Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

We'll need AJ healthy and on his A game in 2018. Here are some of the RB's on the Saints calendar this season.

Zeke (Cowboys)
Barkley
Guice
Freeman (face him TWICE)
LeVeon Bell
Gurley
McCaffery (face him TWICE)

All good to ELITE caliber of RB's we have to somehow bottle up. AJ's availability (Anzalone as well) on game day will be paramount.

BOLD * - IMO elite at the position.

They'll all be so far behind by halftime that they'll be forced to abandon the run game.

19-0 Baby!

The NFL is a week to week league but I hope you are right Asylum :bng:.

Has he ever been wrong? :doh:

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

Yes. 50 out of 51 times.
I guess if you play the odds you have to be right once in a half century.

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

So..... why wouldn't he be on schedule? :confused:

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

Have you seen Davis' closing-speed and tackling? I think he will be a game-changer in run stopping at MLB.

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

Yep. The guy appears to have the entire package & has been well coached over the years. He said he's played in 3 different defenses over his career so he'll adapt well. Our LB core as a whole could be special this season.

Who's our best run stopping linebacker?!

Klein may not even see the filed that much..........

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

Seen some suggestions lately that Klein could be on the trading block. Took a look at his contract to see if it was financially feasible and it is:

POST-6/1 TRADE
2018 Dead Cap: $1,000,000
2019 Dead Cap: $2,000,000
2018 Cap Savings: $4,200,000

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

What are you going to gain with cap savings that out-weighs depth at a vital position?

Seriously, someone tell me a logical reason why Klein should be traded and how it would positively benefit the Saints. Philosophical question here.

Slow football day so I thought I'd throw this nugget out there. https://www.canalstreetchronicles.co...ston-suspended

Pure speculation by a beat reporter but it's a good talking point. New HC Sean McD & Klein do have a connection from Carolina and the Bills are LB "needy". I'd rather keep AJ but he needs to improve his play.

I might wait to see how the lb.'s shake out in training camp. A healthy Klein could go a long way, kind of like a healthy Ellerbe did. But he's going to have to prove it. So far we know he's not made for the middle. Going to be interesting in camp at OLB?

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

Anzalone(weak), Davis(middle), Klein(strong) would be a serious upgrade in the middle of the defense...

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

Reminds me of Shanlee, Vilma, Fujita but more athletic.

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

Don't forget we still have Stupar, Te'o, and Robertson as depth

Re: Saints Linebacker A.J. Klein On Schedule To Be Fully Healthy For Training Camp
 

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.
