Saints UDFA Rookie Profile: Joe Bachie, LB

Our LBs are pretty injury prone and underwhelming outside of Davis. Getting Baun was key, but the truth is that we will probably need more than just Davis and Baun. The key is that Bachie needs to beat out Elliss, which is possible.

I know that injuries are part of football, and Thor & Kiko have had more than their share, but I'm still hoping for a healthy year for them (and all our players). If that happens, then we have a really really really nice set of LBs.

Davis never leaves the field.
Anzalone in two LB sets and actually could spell Davis in some one LB sets
Kiko at SAM and a back up for Thor
Baun backing up all 3 spots and can come in for sub-packages as a designated rusher
Robertson backing up all 3 spots as usual and special teams ace
Ellis or Bachie providing deep depth and special teams snaps.
