Saints sign Olin Kreutz

Here's a couple of good tweets.
ESPN's John Clayton says Adding Olin Kreutz between Carl Nicks and Jahri Evans creates one of the best interior line blocking units in recent memory.

I still hope that they won't just hand out the starting position to him, but instead share the reps between him and Tennant through the preseason games, and then make the decision.

Still, I have to think that SP didn't feel like Tennant was ready to step up this season or that he needed a veteran backup.

We were worried about 26+ UFAs this year biting us. No, trust in Loomis. He has earned the trust.

I hope we feel the same way the 49ers are feeling right now.

Sean Payton has already said in recent interviews that he doesn't hand starting jobs over to anyone period. Every starter has to earn the position by working his ass off

I'm pretty sure Tennant is going to get his reps.

He is officially signed and will wear #50 at this afternoons practice.

Good point! I still miss Jerry, and Mawae was workin' his
bootie off in a whole DIFFERENT way this summer, godbless'im.
