Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over, over, and over again...and expecting a different outcome!

I think this could be a sign Sharper is out the door.

One thing about the signings this offseason... I love the fact we're addressing our special teams coverage unit. This is also a solid depth signing at safety. It's always nice to have a backup safety with starting experience.

Sharpers days are over unless he comes back in a McKenzie roll for a game.

Papz; good observation. Two things are obvious with the Saints signings...SPEED and SIZE. Although I sense a desire for continunity...I also observe a youth movement.

Getting down to 53 (sans injury) is going to be a real challenge for all the competition in the house.

A McKenzie roll is a pastry. But Sharper could come back in a McKenzie role. You have been reading those cat pictures too much.

finally the defense is getting the attention it needed. Youth movement is long over due. Great work. so far

Wow, I like this signing...

Our ST's are going to be better if it kills someone. Our D will be pretty amazing. Able to stop the run will free up the secondary from to much run support so INT's will go up as well as sacks.

Lets not lose the fact out sick our offense is going to be with a running game gets going. Play action will kill D's.
