Alex Olgetree? Clay Matthews? Golden? "x"?

I love the young talent, however seasoned vets are what I most covet during playoff time. Experience = limiting mistakes when it's one and done time. Guys making plays when it matters most.

I do recall we were interested in Jamie Collins.

Maybe not, but I believe it's a lot better than people are giving it credit...

I'm certainly hopeful but this unit was one of the weakest (THE weakest?) unit on the team last year.

I'm excited to see how Baun will contribute this season but it is not currently considered a very good LB group.

I'd think our pass rush at the end of the season was the weakest...

San Fran game? Kirk Cousins & the Vikings?

If I remember right, Klein had a great game Wk 17 including half dozen tackles and a Pick-6...

Other than Davis the other LB's are average or good but often injured.
If healthy, on paper, the LB group should be the bee's knees.

Jersey number update... Ruiz will indeed be keeping his #51.

I know that there is still talent out there waiting on the dust to settle from the draft. Our front office will probably make an addition or two from the remaining free agents for specific roles. Then there's always the option of wading through everyone else's discards looking for a gem. We never leave a stone unturned.

Saints need another pass rusher on the roster. Not just a "guy" but someone with proven ability to disrupt timing and get sacks. A disruptor.
Again, we are good in the regular season but when the playoffs starts … it's a totally different animal.

You need dawgs.
