Re: 2010 Saints

Man!!!, i'm so happy with the 1st two picks. Grabbed a need and a steal!!

Now all we need is a DT like Austin or Paea and we will be in Indy come Feb.

Re: 2010 Saints

STAND UP WHO DAT NATION!!! How would you grade the Saints 2011 Draft?

I personally think we did very well. They addressed most of the needs in the defensive side and grabbed a stud in offense. I'll give them a A-. They still need help on OL. Bushrod is just OK to me but if we want D.Brees to play 5-6 more years, they would need to upgrade to protect the blindside.
J.Stinchcomb is old and gets pushed around alot. Maybe they'll grab some FA OT's.

All in all, couldn't be happier the way the draft went for us.

Re: 2010 Saints

I'm glad they spent most of the picks on defense instead of offensive and recognize how bad the front seven was last year.

Re: 2010 Saints

Indeed the front seven looks much improved already from the draft and what little signings we did before the lockout, cause I guess they also signed a DT from the CFL league and he got paid enough that he prolly should be a rotational player

I'm very excited about what Mark Ingram will add to the offense, not only will he improve the running game by consistently gaining yards with his strength and the initial burst he has but now we may revert to the '09 offense where Brees had the PA working for him and he was able to dice up offenses at will.

Re: 2010 Saints

The Saints have a lot a decisions to make. Who to keep, who to release, who to sign, who to cut. Let's hope M. Loomis, Sean P. & friends have already have this figured out.

One guy i hope they don't release/cut is Shanle. I know he's a liability in most coverages, but i feel that the Saints need to keep him for insurance. Otherwise, teams like The Bucs or even the Falcons might snatch him just to pick his brain.

Re: 2010 Saints

I like Shanle, good guy has done some good things for us. However his time has passed, liability in coverage and we have some faster younger guys on the roster that have been devastated by injuries early in training camps it seems.

Re: 2010 Saints

Yeah i know. I'll miss the guy though, if he leaves dat is.
Speaking of leaving, word is ReggieBush25 is taking is talents to South Beach ( beaten to death cliche').
It's funny to me how many call him a bust. But as soon as they hear "Reggie is going to be cut loose", they're like
"WE NEED REGGIE!!, PICK HIM UP"

Edit:It's been fun ReggieBush25. Thanks 4 the memories. Deuces.

Re: 2010 Saints

Big Dawg, Remi Ayodole, agrees to deal with Minnesota Viking.
Interesting. I wonder if they are still in the mix for DT Brandon Mebane.

and finally some rookie signings:Saints Agree to Terms with 7th Round Pick DE Greg Romeus and Nate Bussey.
Saints sign third round pick CB Johnny Patrick

Re: 2010 Saints

The Saints will receive S Jonathon Amaya as part of the compensation in the Reggie Bush trade, ESPN is reporting.
Wow. Who got the better of that trade?

UPDATE: Saints reached agreement with OT Jermon Bushrod on a two-year deal. Now let's hope we get Jenkins.

Jimmy Wilkerson is headed to Seattle.
Usama Young is a Cleveland Brown. Official on Friday, according to CBS Rapid Reports.
Mark Ingram will be #28 Now.

Re: 2010 Saints

Finally!! Cameron Jordan is signed.
Too bad that this means someone is going to be cut since they're over the 90 man limit.

Re: 2010 Saints

Interested to see Gregg Williams with the weapons he has on D now, he's run some 3-4 in the past but more of to throw people off. Now we have 2 guys in Shaun Rogers and Franklin who could be legit NT in some 3-4 packages.

[nzldp4]

Re: 2010 Saints

I wonder if he's still planning of throwing in the 46 Def.? The Saints do have the personnel for it. And like the 3-4 they use, it would definitely create havoc & confuse the opposition.
Either way, I'm stoked about how, so far, Payloo* has built this year's team.

*For those who didn't know: S.Payton & M.Loomis

Re: 2010 Saints

i just found this: Gregg Williams via @FletcherMackel: "Patrick Willis is crying in his milk because we got Aubrayo Franklin."

PROS: GW raved about the progress of Jr. Galette & Pat Robinson. Also high on Johnny Patrick, adding, "He was allergic to contact at Louisville"

CONS: Alex Barron joins the Saints NO!!!!!!!
