USA Today/Saints Wire: Report: Kiko Alonso 'day-to-day' with injury, status in doubt vs. 49ers

Two good things I see about our linebackers, we'll have DeMario-Thor-Kiko for a couple more seasons; from what I'm hearing on Thor, many of his injuries were not properly addressed at U of Florida...

Plus, with Kaden Ellis coming back, we don't have to spend a high pick on a LBer unless a can't-pass-on prospect comes to us, then we have a valuable trading chip...

Yeah this group looks better at the moment than it has in a very very long time. And if Klein is the "worst" player in the group we're doing pretty darn good.

I'm not so certain about Anzalone long term in New Orleans.

Well, I was very disappointed in his latest injury, till I learned it may have had a lot to do with how he was patched up while at Florida...

Many of you already know that in the orthopedic world, there's much more turnover than ever in technique, approach than ever...

And as uncomfortable as it may be to broach the subject, he's not some body at University, but a professional athlete now...

Anzalone's not going to command a lot to re-sign. And even if we don't re-sign him, we still have a core of talented LBers in DeMario-Kaden-Kiko under contract a couple of years...

Plus, we may've stole Chase Hansen as well, only they're getting his prior injuries treated, repaired now, correctly, a likely lesson learned from what's been happening with Anzalone...
