OH...I didn't know thatBachie was last seen playing for the Eagles
True but I've at least seen them on the field for at least a third of the season.I mean, we can say the same for Davenport, Peat, Armstead, etc. Don't have many options to have this mentality with our cap issues, heh.
Why can't he be a DE/EDGE guy here? Too small?Baun was an DE/EDGE guy for Wisconsin and he’s transitioning to off-ball LB with the Saints.
I don’t think the Saints have given up on him by any means, but his rookie year was largely a wash because of COVID and no “real” offseason.
THIS. There has not been one. I blamed Joe Vitt for the longest but now, hmm.Historically under the Payton/Loomis ERA has a linebacker drafted by the Saints ever actually panned out? T Hendrickson was technically a LB but converted to DL. I honestly cannot think of one.
Edit: This is not to say Baun won't pan out either. He has all the potential too.
I can’t help but say this... absolutely nothing has indicated that there is a reason to “like this guy” and while I hope the next undrafted free agent becomes a star the reality of this seems like the past when the team hands a load of BS to a reporter who then sells the fans that we have a solution on the team.
I’m not falling for it until I see some plays made on the field that proves he’s more then a undrafted guy that has a couple tools.

Why not draft LB's that already fit what we are in need of?
This. Exactly this. I've heard this exact same thing about so many guys over the years. And not just with undrafted free agents. I listened to them talk about how much they loved Nick Toon and Brandon Coleman right up until they released them. Been hearing SP talk about Drew's replacement was already on the roster. And then we saw Taysom play and it's like yep, they fooled me again.
Well this time I'm not buying in. I don't care if they really like Chase Hansen. I didn't even know he was still on the roster until I read this. If they think Chase Hansen is the answer to any question then we're in trouble. If they like Hansen then we probably need to draft two LBs.
And I know, I know. They know more than the fans but not at LBer they don't. Had they listened to us all these years we'd have the damn Dome Patrol part 2. Instead the team really likes Chase Hansen. Lol give me a break.
Like when we had a shot at Queen ??Why not draft LB's that already fit what we are in need of?
wth is up with Baun? Why do we continually fail to coach up our Linebackers?
Like when we had a shot at Queen ??
Basically, T-rex's replacement?IIRC, Queen was the WORST graded LB in the NFL last season according to PFF.
...as for Baun... Maybe Baun and Hansen aren’t vying for the same position?
Maybe the Saints do after 1 season, what it took the Cardinals 3 seasons to do with Hasaan Reddick... play him according to his strengths as a situational pass rusher and EDGE defender.
...not the off-ball LB they initially planned on moving him to.
