Re: Saints defense disappointed after 'unacceptable' first half

Sorry, had to edit my thread to point on the defense. We had a few key starters out & for the most part the defense was vanilla. I think Coach Allen is experimenting with things (specifically on the D line and at LB). Hopefully AJ Klein plays better & our run D has improved from last season. IMO the defensive talent on this 2018 is very good and we'll be fine by Game #1 vs Pirates.

Side note - I'll be zoned in on punt return/special teams pre season #2.

Huff
Tate
Boston
Jamerson

Who will emerge?

Last year I thought that AJ Klein played well before he was injured. Looking back at film I now realize that he can't tackle worth a ****! He may be the worst tackler on the team!

hmm

I wouldn't say worst, but he is certainly no better than average. It's clear to me that we have better talent on the team and he shouldn't be starting.

I'll never treat PFF ratings as the gospel, however AJ rated as the worst linebacker on our current LB roster. His performance vs the Jags in pre season was pretty bad & I agree he should't be starting.

He has work to do.
