2010 Saints

[nzldp4]

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!!!!!!!

Big game vs. GB. Let's hope the Saints start off with a W. I'm not too worried with the Offense even though L. Moore will sit out this one.
As long as there's a balance in the Offense & the O-Line holds up enough for D. Brees to orchestrate; the Saints will put up points by the bunches. That being said...

IMO, Saints Keys to Victory:

Spoiler

- Win the turnover battle. (Lost the battle)
- Tackle fundamentally!!! (Horrendous)
- LBs play contain on RB cutbacks & counters. (Decent but could be better)
- DBs play fair (no P.I.) (P-Rob was gettin man-handled all nite!!)
Win or Lose, it falls on the Defense. ( Fell on Sean P.'s play calling 2X)

WHO DAT!! GEAUX SAINTS!!

Play calling aside (shoulda took the 3 and Brees should've had the ball on that last play), the D couldn't stop them on 3rd down. That was probably a bigger issue overall.
