Same goes for Brian Simmons and K.K...I didn't even see Kaesviharn in oh goal line situations (where he picked off Brees to seal the game last year). All in all, I'm not interested in going 8-8, I don't care if we go 3-13 - I just want Payton to start experimenting with some of the players we picked up in the offseason. This is obviously not the 2006 team, so why should we try to hold it in tact when we already see the results. Play the acquisitions, give em' playing time and let em develop for next year.

Reggie is overrated and will NEVER live up to his HYPE. He is a minor role-player on offense and special teams. He will never be anything like a Walter Payton or Emmit Smith.
