  • With Greedy, Delpit and Ward we will match up well in coverage. But except for Joseph I don't have a good feeling about our ability to stop Baltimore or plays close to the LOS...yet.

    Well sure our linebackers situation is still way up in the air

  • INgram/Dobbins looks like a tough 1-2 punch...

    ... and then there's Jackson...

  • Interesting - according to Delpit he "fixed" the tackling issue late last season.

  • well at least i'd rather watch DK run at us.. than that bar mauler Utah Utes from RG at ravens ?

    If "the angle" was the problem, then why the "hopefully"?

    "The angle had a lot to do with it. Like I said, I battled through injury (last) year," he said. "But that's not the whole reason. Got it fixed toward the end of the season and hopefully it won't be a problem anymore."

    Well, that makes me feel better when I say he can take random "wonky" angles.  =(

  • Ezra Cleveland goes to Minnesota

    Sadly, He’s perfect for that gimmick offense.  Gonna be a load to handle 

  • Rat fucker is on the clock again. Or wait it’s like they made a trade

    i saw a guy early that maybe rested on his high draft stock...Coach O than kicked him in the rump & after mid-season his stat numbers rose back...can't say it happened, but can't say the guy was not trying to get out of LSU injury free either.. 

  • Uche  Woochi coochie goes to New England. I thought he might’ve been a guy we could take at 74

  • FWIW here is a comment on Delpit I found on another website (don't know if I can list it here or not). I found it interesting. We know about his injury but it sounds like it was a bit worse than is generally thought: ".... my daughter’s husband is on the training staff at LSU, and he just texted me saying he played the majority of the season at far less than 100%. He was advised to shut down for 6-8 weeks but wanted to play the season out."

    And despite that he did still win the gym Thorpe award for best defensive back in college football

    There is no doubting his coverage skills. 

  • I could see That barry^^^ i don't like watching his feet almost buckle under him at most hits either 

  • Does anyone know what a decent missed tackling rate is? Delpit has averaged ~19-25%. I know that's bad but am wondering how bad it is.

    Edit- Just found something. In 2015 the Saints were the worse tackling team in the NFL at 13.6%. (Btw the Browns were best that year). 20% not good at all.
