Yep. Kwon is all about "contact and collision". Sideline to sideline assassin who arrives with bad intentions. IMO that's the definition of a linebacker. Walk into my space ... pay the price.

Nothing against Thor, but he simply wasn't doing that. Gotta believe in the back of his mind, he's thinking about that repaired shoulder on every tackle. But hey, Saints scouts still took a chance based on his past medicals.

But I agree on Kwon , when healthy he's a beast. The kid loves the game of football.

When Kwon came here Davis immediately started playing faster. He's had the same impact on the rest of the defense as well. I believe that Davis plays faster with him because he feels like Kwon will lock down his gap assignment and he doesn't have to slow down to check all the gaps. These two feed off each other and that energy is now flowing into the entire defense. They are all playing faster and there are fewer blown assignments.

The guy is playing great. If he stays healthy maybe on of the best mid season trades for the team. Best part is he’s fit in with the team already, dancing and being a great team player

To be fair Davis has been ballin' ever since he joined the Saints.

Alexander does seem a better fit than Anzalone and it has made Alex expendable after the season.

Alexander's contract is a bad one going forward for 2021 and 2022, and I'm not sure the Saints can afford it.

We filled an obvious hole at linebacker and our whole defense got better. Who would have thunk it. Love Kwon and hopefully he can stay healthy. We weren't working with a full deck of cards(front office fault) and now we are.

2 years and running, I was hoping we got another legit dawg at LB.

The Saints typically play only 2 LBs' so we were in need of another sideline to sideline bully WITH instincts. As we've seen, Kwon is allowing Demario to do other things. Like Rez stated in another post … "we just got faster at linebacker".

Speed is the name of the game.

This move to acquire Kwon could get us where we want to be in late Jan.

Yep. It’s why San Fran let him go because they would cut bait on him as soon as the season was over. So why not get something for him now , well it worked better for us anyway.

Critics hound him for "missed tackles" but the guy arrives in time to create at the very least a hesitation from his man. IF Kwon misses the tackle, there's another Saint right on him.
