PERSONNEL ANALYSIS: The Saints made a low-risk investment in signing LB Dan Morgan, but it could potentially pay a huge reward. Back in 2005, Morgan was one of the NFL's best young linebackers. However, he was limited to four games the past two seasons because of serious concussion issues in 2006 and an Achilles' tendon injury in 2007. The Saints are giving Morgan, 29, a chance to prove he still has plenty left in the tank. After spending most of his career at middle linebacker, Morgan (6- 2, 245) will battle Scott Shanle for the starting weakside linebacker job. In his prime, Morgan was the type of tenacious, athletic playmaker the Saints' defense has lacked in recent years. If Morgan and new MLB Jonathan Vilma both pan out, the Saints' defense could make a remarkable transformation this season.
