UDFA - Terrence Tolliver
 
Good size, average speed, minor character/motivation issues (?), went un-drafted.

Did he suffer from poor QB play at LSU and would you take a chance on him?

Talk amongst yuh-selves...

While were at it let's just sign every LSU player that wasnt drafted, no thanks

|Mitch| 05-03-2011 09:30 AM

eh; I never really was a fan of his in his LSU days. But like Strato says; give him a shot to try-out, you never know...

papz 05-03-2011 01:14 PM

I'd love to have him on our practice squad. There's no denying quarterback play at LSU hurt him big time... and he was a 5 star talent coming out of high school.

Thinks are quiet in UDFA world ... can we not sign UDFA because of the lockout and legal bogdown?

st thomas 05-03-2011 04:10 PM

all these free agents have to keep thereself inshape and motivated, tolliver will get a call. by whom?

21Hilliard 05-03-2011 05:15 PM

Is there anything in place saying UDFAs like Tolliver cannot work out with the players of a team like the Saints in these unofficial player workouts? Seems to me a good way to get a foot in the door, or at least a serious look at whenever training camp starts.

We'd win the Superbowl every year. :p

Didn't suggest that at all.

That would be considered tampering by the league

jeanpierre 05-04-2011 12:19 AM

Tolliver would be a great addition for the Saints and would develop quickly.


Problem is: Too many WR's already; we're still trying to find Arrington some PT so he can become what we traded back into the draft to get...

darstep 05-04-2011 06:17 AM

WR are the least of our problems. We've got more than we can use already and the ones we have are all good. Let's look around and see if there's a diamond in the rough D-lineman or linebacker, or a punt/kick-returner/special teamer hiding in the shadows.

SapperSaint 05-04-2011 08:06 AM

Yes, UDFA can do the unorganized work outs. ESPN said that at the Saints "player" practice, veterans, rookies and UDFA were at Tulane.

Back to the subject at hand....

I don't think there are many bigger "Homers" than me when it comes to LSU, but I'd have to pass on Terrence. I totally agree with darstep. The last thing we need is another WR. Go find some D-linemen, LB's and an O-line man.

Rugby Saint II 05-04-2011 02:13 PM

We have more pressing issues than wide receiver.....in fact we're deep enough to trade a receiver. Just Sayin'.

papz 05-04-2011 03:12 PM

Remember we're going to roster 80 to 100 players this offseason with UDFA's and non-roster invitees, we're not going to invite strictly one group of positional players. There's nothing wrong with bringing a WR, P, K, RB, QB... whatever position in for a look see. It doesn't need to be regulated strictly to positions of need. I don't understand they complaints of bringing in a guy that has some talent like Tolliver in for a try out... it's not like we're guaranteeing these guys anything.

With an NFL roster being 53 and supposely our biggest need is at LB, should we invite 57 LB's in for training camp?

All this unwarranted silly talk.

good point Papz

darstep 05-05-2011 07:38 AM

Tolliver needs to camp with the team that gives him the best chance to make it in the NFL ... I just don't believe that's the Saints. It's not that we shouldn't invite him, but he should decline our invitation and go some place else where there is a weaker receiver crew.

jeanpierre 05-05-2011 10:15 AM

I'd love to have Tolliver as a fifth to develop, if...

Arrington could be moved to the 3rd receiver...

Henderson could be traded for a LB or S...

If Reggie stays (which I hope he will), I'd move Moore and his fair catch return ways...

Tolliver has first round talent...

He just needs the right system to develop; and, can you think of a better system in the NFL?
