Gotta have a compliment to PT if Bush leaves. We could do worse than LT.

I've got that feeling, too.

Let's see, Brees wants him obviously, and LT want to win a ring.... Where better to go, than where he knows the QB, and also the current superbowl champions? I say yes, get him.

He will be a Saint

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
No way. LT himself has said our backfield is solid already. I call LT to the Seahawks, Vikings or Chiefs. And he will have a year equal to Edge James in a Cardinals uniform.

Speaking of which these threads are eerily similar to the "sign Edge James" threads of yesteryear. :D

bush is still under contract till next year.

Euphoria 02-24-2010 10:06 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
I don't think this is any question. I think he is as good as a Saint already. Whats there to debate.

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
Hope he comes.

Fear he will go to the Viqueens.

That being said.... We will whip their azzes again this year if they make it.

I KNOW we will!

Why would we want him? Has he not lost a step or two? Would he perform better than PT?

No but probably better than Bell, and if Bush is cut he'd be a nice 2 year stopgap as a #2 RB.

He did reference a conversation with Brees in his public address...

Im just sayin

What Brees Wants Brees Gets

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
i think if we can replace Bell with LT then it will get done..LT knows Brees..I think he can perform the roll that Bell did plus he is a recieving threat..all 3 backs (pt/bush/lt) would then be a screen pass threat where as with bell in, he was not getting too many screen passes thrown his way..he only had 4 receptions for 12 yds all year

xan 02-25-2010 12:21 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
we need a backup bruiser. RB's have a very short life span in the NFL and bruisers are hard to come by. Three guys of the "same" skill set are too much. LT is not a fit. Unless you're planning to trade Reggie for a 1st rounder. Then, well, I'll go as far as mmmaaaayyyybeeee.

MatthewT 02-25-2010 05:40 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
Looks like Bell isn't going to be offered a deal, so the writing may be on the wall concerning this one. I am kind of mixed on this, I would easily say LT has lost a step, but looking at the entire situation you have to remember San Diego didn't run the ball well with any of their backs this past season.

TheDeuce 02-25-2010 07:01 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
The key to Tomlinson's decision is the Saint's decision on Bush. If we decide to keep Reggie around, I find it hard to believe that we could get LT. If Reggie is gone, I'm thinking LT is a sure thing.

st thomas 02-25-2010 07:06 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
we just don't need l.t..we need bruiser on the rise, not worn wheels needing recaps

poydras 02-25-2010 07:08 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
Don't need him, don't want him. Tomlinson is way over the hill. Let's work on keeping Reggie.

saintsfan601 02-25-2010 10:11 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
No need to get LT with 4 serviceable running back on the roster.With PT,Bush,Bell,and Hamiltion on the roster.Even if Bell goes that leaves three.So where does LT fit in.

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
Are you all forgetting that LT is a part time drama queen? He complains and whines when he doesnt get the ball. We have too many offensive weapons and not enough balls to go around. Even if we get rid of Bell, I think PT, Bush and Hamilton backfield would work and not to mention be cheaper.

Choupique 02-26-2010 11:02 AM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
LT, even with a (dubious) "lost step" is better than many running backs at their best.

Short yardage first downs and punching it in from short yardage is actually an area we could use some improvement.

Who knows what'll happen. I have faith in the staff.

Hey look, No Ditka's in sight!

We got it made. Whatever happens, happens.

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
LT IS NOT WHAT HE USED TO BE, I WOULD LET REGGIE BE THE MAIN BACK BEFORE I WOULD EVEN LET LT STEP ON TO THE PRACTICE FIELD. HE IS TO INJURY PRONE AND HIS NUMBERS OF LATE ARE TERRIBLE!!!!!

LT never whined when Brees was there..he seems to take on the demeanor of hs QB..he was not an ass till he got with rivers

Ashley 02-26-2010 12:30 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
don't need him. Yea he might have a little left, just don't see him coming for a pay cut. don't even really care right now.

exile 02-26-2010 01:08 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
I would prefer Thomas Jones. And really really prefer Darren Sproles or Willie Parker. I mean... IF we are going to sign a RB which I highly doubt.

jeanpierre 02-26-2010 06:58 PM

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
if time travel, back in time, were possible, yes, definitely...

than again, I'd like to remember the lottery numbers and to not geaux on a certain blind date in the past ten years...

Re: Would we want LT & could we get him??
 
LT's best days are behind him, he's lost speed and his "jump cut" is gone too. Mickey Loomis is way too smart to waste good $$$ on a guy thats already slipped past any hope of being productive. The only reason Brees tweeted that comment was in an attempt to be nice to his old teammate and make him feel better. LT won't even be signed by any team until Oct. if even then.

I can see why Drew felt the need to make him feel better...


He has always been one of those kind of guys that just rubbed me the wrong way. I, for one, will be greatly diappointed if he becomes a Saint..especially now when there is no real reason.

I'd rather have Deuce back!...yeah, I said it. j/k, of course. :)
