Saints sign Vonta Leach FB from Green Bay
 

I saw this over at wdz and wanted to post it over here. It looks like this guy is pretty big and maybe can open some big holes for Bush and Deuce.

as noted in a thread yesterday, he's worth paying for a week at least just to glean what playbook information he can share if nothing else.

another player to add to all-time wierdest names of Saints too

Packers fans are pissed over letting hime go-

Good grief, what in the fudge is going on with GB??!! We looked horrible against Chicago, now we're cutting our starting FB to keep 4 TE's and because we wanted to sign a drunk? WTF??

lots more in this thread-

how bout a rundown hagan?

Yeah his name ranks right up there with Hokie and Charlie Brown.

Conversely, Leach and Gado were deemed to be not good fits for what McCarthy is trying to accomplish in his first season with the offense.

Leach was without peer in the backfield as a punishing blocker. Yet, the Packers’ new zone-blocking scheme doesn’t require a bulldozer plowing from the fullback position. What’s more, Leach was a liability as a pass catcher

if this guy can block as well as they say...could be a monster game for duece

why did we sign 2 fullbacks? is karney's injury that serious? don't understand this move...

2 because Haynes needed to be cut and Joseph went IR. Sounds like Leach is a legitimate FB, better than McIntyre, who was signed before Leach was waived. I don't doubt even if they wanted McIntyre more that Leach could be brought in just for grilling this week about the Packers playbook-- all 9 pages of it.

Jeez, you're not kidding. They do sound pissed. And they have a valid reason.
