His whole collegiate and pro careers have been plagued by injuries, which isn't really his fault. I do acknowledge that I'm a bit of a Anzalone fan, and maybe even an apologist, but I do honestly think he is an above average LB in the league. Anyway, he is probably gone after this season, so we'll get to see if it was the coaching/scheme or the player himself, which kept him from being a better player for the Saints. Honestly, I'm more concerned about Baun's progress... |

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles
This should be the last year that he looks lost in a Saints uniform. Hopefully!!! Too many blown coverages, bad angles and poor tackling resulting from those bad angles. I liked him at first but he has regressed each year and he stopped shining to me a long time ago. The FO traded and replaced him with Kwon if that tells you anything.

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles
I just want to say that he's my sub LB on Madden and he wrecks there.
I'm not exactly the biggest Anzalone fan but he's been pretty consistent all year... better than Kwon as some have pointed out. The difference IMO is the energy Kwon brings which isn't measured in stats. |

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles
Stats aside, I noticed a marked improvement in the ENTIRE defense when Kwon came aboard. PFF can't measure that. It also leads me to think Anzalone's teammates possibly don't trust him.

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles
And how did you come up with that stretch of a conclusion? Perhaps it had something to do with facing four straight abysmal opponents in his (Alexander's) first four games (SF, ATL, DEN, ATL).

Would you trust him? |

Re: Kwon Alexander Torn Achilles
It surely is a loss. I feel bad for the team and more so for him. Hope you rebound Kwon. Smarter folk than me will have to figure out how his injury impacts his contract and how he and the Saints move going forward. As a consolation he will get a Super Bowl ring because he is a Saint !
