Yeah. I think we cut Fred Thomas this offseason due to him receiving the dreaded vote of confidence.

His Toast Has Been Buttered!

I'd love to see us go after Dre Bly if the price isn't too high.

I think Bly would be a stop gap due to his age. On top of that, i don't see the organization going after a player who is in his 30's when there are so good and solid CB free agents this year.

02-14-2007, 03:41 PM

I wouldn't give up more than a 3rd for Bly. He's 30, so he might only have two or so years left in him..but he would be an upgrade. Even if we get him we'd still need to get a CB to groom in the draft.

Saints67 · 02-14-2007, 04:23 PM

hopefully, we will go after Bly...

he will deff improve our CB corp up.

Just a little tidbit to let you guys know but this weekend during NBA Allstar weekend Reggie Bush will be playing in the Celebrity game 7:00pm friday on ESPN, he better be careful cause Michael Clarke Duncan could end his career.

Flyboy · 02-15-2007, 10:43 AM

Just as long as he doesn't get injured..

The dude in your sig, Aaron Ross, is the main player I want the Saints to draft.

LSU Man · 02-16-2007, 09:00 AM

What have you guys been hearing about our free agent moves and us franchising Grant?

Flyboy · 02-16-2007, 07:43 PM

I. Hate. Life.

Wow Reggie Bush sprained his ankle in the NBA celebrity game.

wtf our best players are getting hurt in meaningless exhibition games! He should be fine though.

Haha lol, it looked pretty bad at the time but it was nothing, shoot he may be 49 but the Saints should try out Duncan Clarke for the O-line, he's bigger than any Saint.

Lol, I don't know if he's bigger than Hollis Thomas, cause that's one big dude. 315 lbs is a bit generous for him. (#99)

I think 415 lbs would be a bit generous for him. Anyone heard anything on Reggie? I mean I dont like him but I dont wanna see anybody injured.

Flyboy · 02-17-2007, 10:25 AM

Minor ankle sprain. He'll be just fine.

Opinions on Justin Harrell? he seems like a hard working player that fits into Payton's player mold. It shows a lot that he put off his surgery for a week and played through pain, to try and help his team win a big game vs. Florida.

Has good size with long arms and the frame to bulk up further...Athletic with solid speed and good quickness...Is mobile with pretty good range...Plays the run well and is a good tackler...Will penetrate and make plays in the backfield...Tough and will play through pain...May have some versatility...Hard worker...Top intangibles.

and here is my latest Saints 1st day mock.

diabsoule · 02-17-2007, 03:39 PM

That sucks about Reggie Bush, but he should be fine.

BTW, Auron, I'm a bit iffy on Chris Houston. I think the best CB that is going to be there for us in the 1st Round is Aaron Ross as he is just the type of guy that we look for.

I don't think David Harris will last until the third round but he is a great player and I wouldn't mind seeing him in the black and gold.

And lastly, I like Justin Harrell and I think that he'd be a good fit for us. He seems like a Sean Payton kind of guy.

SeanTaylorRIP · 02-17-2007, 03:57 PM

Here's the Reggie Bush injury, the first time you like in slo mo the replay it looks terrible like he could have broken it but you can see he simply rolled it and just had a minor sprain.http://youtube.com/watch?v=n8C3bUWolqI

02-17-2007, 04:05 PM

^ Ouch.

I'd be fine with either Ross, or Houston. As long as they take a CB 1st day, if they don't take corner in round 1, Jackson, Wright, Irons, or Bennett would be good in the later rounds.

Harris is a guy that might slide a bit after the combine because he won't put up amazing workout numbers.

diabsoule · 02-17-2007, 04:13 PM

Saints Dome Patrol and I are doing a fantasy offseason/mock draft right now on this website. So far, this is what has happened.

Saints offseason:

Free Agents Signed
CB Rod Hood (Eagles)
CB Jason David (Colts) (Indy receives 4th Rd pick from NO)
DT Alfonso Boone (Bears)
LB Donnie Edwards (Chargers)

Free Agents Retained
DT Hollis Thomas
DE Charles Grant
OG Montrae Holland
TE Billy Miller
S Omar Stoutmire
OT Jon Stinchcomb

Restricted FA Tendered
WR Jamal Jones
WR Terrance Copper
DT Rodney Leisle
LB Terrance Melton

Players Cut
LB Alfred Fincher
CB Fred Thomas
CB Jason Craft
TE Ernie Conwell
P Mitch Berger

I think the Saints did a terrific job this offseason.

Flyboy · 02-17-2007, 10:38 PM

What about Danny Clark?

Flyboy · 02-18-2007, 04:53 PM

I would love to have Ross, but his age is a sorta turn-off for me.
