Saints sign Demario Davis (Mod Edit: Bumped old thread) (2 Viewers)

So out of Klein, Te'o, Robertson and Anzalone, who loses playing time here?

Look, I firmly believed we needed to add speed and thump to the front seven, so this is fine, but what does this do to our LB rotation?

Robertson and Te'o.

Starters should be WLB - Anzalone, MIKE - Davis, SLB - Klein

Easy.

Anzalone at WILL, Davis at MIKE, Klein at SAM.

Robertson backing up WILL and MIKE, and also contributing on Special Teams.

Te'o remains as a backup at MIKE.

The last time we got a Jets LB we won the superbowl with Vilma.

Don't play with my emotions like that

He did not come cheap so I hope the Saints did their homework.

Love the defensive signings, hope he transitions well to our D and continues to impress when it counts for us. Pleased.

So far these are solid signing. Guys like these don't break the bank but will contribute greatly for the team. Rather have as many as possible instead of one big name free agent.

Davis seems like just a straight up good human being. Hard not to pull for someone like that.

Looks like a replacement for Tao as he will be relegated to backup duties and Klein will be cemented as the SAM linebacker.

 

[Wisco Steve]

Big time signing! Well done. Improves our D immensely.

Makes it better!

For the production he has had throughout his career, especially last year. I would see we got him for a pretty good deal.

 

[Optimistic Ozzy]

Speed at Linebacker, just what we needed.

 

[Bartyboy]

I like what they are doing.
