Analysis My List of Top 10 Linebackers in 2025 Draft (3 Viewers)

[MikeyF]

Did anyone notice how slow we were to the edges the linebackers were tonight. The Green Bay RB's were getting 4-7 yards a carry. We need better and faster sideline to sideline linebackers. They didn't fair as well running the ball up the gut most of the night. I don't think I saw Davis and Werner miss so many tackles in a game before. Another poster said when I started this thread "Did I miss something"; Yeah you miss a lot when you don't notice our linebacker play hasn't been consistent this season and we have no speed to the edges. It's time to see what we have in Jaylan Ford, Anfernee Orji, Nephi Sewell, D'Marco Jackson and Isaiah Stalbird. Why did we sign Willie Gay, He doesn't even see the field, not even in relief of Davis or Werner. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Yep!
This is what I've been seeing for 2 years now...
And our LB don't make a lot of tackles up front at the line of scrimmage...

Hey B_doggman47,
Are you planning to do a list of your fav CBs and Safety’s!? I’m curious to see your take on Malaki Starks out of GA. He’s slotted in a few mock drafts to go about where the Saints look to project at, at #10.

Thanks

Yep, our LB are bad. DD is old af and it's showing. Werner is soft and weak for a man as big as he is.

Yes, we sure can. It may take a little while, but we'll get it done.

Our linebacker play hasn't been the same since the Saints let Kwon Alexander walk. He had that sideline to sideline speed and could make the tackles out in space. Yeah he missed some tackles but he made them more than he missed. We need another linebacker with his kind of speed. And he was pretty good in coverage too.

A lot of good this will do with only two games left, but here's a list of free agent linebackers that are left.
Damien Wilson
Shaq Leonard
Malik Jefferson
Jacob Phillips
Andre Smith
Tae Davis
Raekwon McMillan
Genard Avery
Nick Morrow

For these next two games the Saints really need to see what they have in their backup linebackers. Who sticks and who needs to go.
