I'd temper those expectations - Achilles tear, for his position on the defense, is going to be very problematic...

I really like the move to acquire MBrown this off season.

Large man, space eater & clogs up run lanes on 1st & 2nd downs.

IMO this was a sneaky good signing for the Saints.

If Brown does what we hope he will do then we should be even better when Rankins comes back. Edwards is probably even with Okafor and will be a good rotation piece with Davenport who can play up and down the line. I won't miss Davison although I liked him. Onyamata should only get better and Cam is still playing at a very high level. We should be even better this year when Rankins comes back.

To be honest I was worried about the D-line when Rankins tore his Achilles but Brown should be a fine replacement. I was also worried about the O-line but we addressed that well in the off season.

Remember, Hagan predicted the best signing the Saints could make was a Big NT - and Hagan wanted Damon Harrison???

Brown replaces Tyeler Davison; it's Onyemata who's got to step up with Rankins likely out, or ineffective at the least this season...

It's who's gonna rotate with Onyemata that's the $64K question...

I miss Hagan even though I never met him but I always think of him at draft time. That man knew how to scout!

Spent hours over the years discussing draft with Hagan. Were both definitely on the same page when it came to approach of NFL scouting and we came to same conclusion...

Many of these scouts over-complicate their jobs. It's true that general public doesn't often get information they're privy, but sometimes the optics of being too close to the screen gets in the way of the big picture...
