Definitely scary thin at LB

 

[SAINTSFAN]

He's still playing?

Looks like it.

Man not having Kwon could really impact this D..

Kind of depends on our injury luck.

For less than $2 million we could've had him. I'm not sure what is wrong with DA and the Front Office. Proven LBer that fits our scheme... now we have to believe in a bunch of young guys and "panic signing" vets (never worked out in the past for us).

Wouldn't mind having Alonso back with us. He was pretty good when he played for us. He would be a good backup with veteran experience.

Kwon was great as a locker room presence and emotional leader, but he is a complete liability vs the run, struggled to stay healthy, and was slipping in coverage as well. He’s nowhere near as good as this forum makes him out to be.

The fan's love for Kwon is bee hive levels.

League leader in missed tackles yet some fans act like he walks on water. The size of the deal he signed with the Jets tells me the Saints were done with him.

I think that's understood. It's always been DD's show. Kwon's skillset was most supportive of that. Different energy/chemistry with DD than Werner. I think that's where the support for Kwon comes from.

Had Anthony Barr there for the taking. He ended up signing in Dallas for a shrimp poboy.

I want another LSU guy. I think he will get cut soon.

Dowell played very well last year in pre-season. I hope he has learned the playbook and assignments during the off-season and is ready to come in and play some real downs. Elliss is another one that needs to finally step up. Baun, no clue. He’s not a coverage type LB so unless he’s dedicated this off season to getting better at it I see him in a set role and ST.
