Greg Romeus
 
I think this guy is somewhat getting lost in the crowd when it comes to the our defensive ends. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up as our starting RDE sometime in the very near future and we part ways with Will Smith. The guy has a extremely strong work ethic and is just a beast. I think it's sort of baffling that he dropped to the 7th round even with his injury. I honestly believe Spagnuolo will make him into something really special.

I hope you are right. I remember being very impressed when I watched film on him playing in college around the draft.

I think most of us are very aware of him and his potential, but the thing is that we haven't really received any updates on how his rehabbing and training has progressed, so while I'm optimistic about him becoming a true playmaker for next season - I'm also a little bit hesitant due to the uncertain variables involved.

Actually when he came off of the non football injury list before he was placed on IR they said he was looking pretty good. I'll see if i can find the article. Here is one article.

Junior on one end, Romeus on the other, should be interesting if we get a 2 others beasts for the middle. I think Romeus starts within 4 games, he!! I hope the 1st one, he is going to be good.

Danno 01-20-2012 08:17 AM

I'm looking forward to seeing what Spagnuolo can do with Romeus as well as Galette, Bussey, Jordan, Johnson, Quddus, Amaya and Wilson.

We've got a ton of young talent just waiting to develop.

LBCutta 01-20-2012 08:46 AM

I look for Gallette to be very productive under Spags....I think G.Williams wasnt good a developing young talent. You see all of the young guys we have on D, especially the lineman and linbackers are kind of stagnant

BUT..was that GW or his crappy assistant coach's? A little of both probably but I would like to see an upgrade at DL and LB coach.

i love Romeus and cant wait to see what he does just his injury's might cause a problem if he cant stay healthy

New Orleans Saints defensive end Greg Romeus will make practice debut Wednesday - New Orleans Saints Football NFL News - NOLA.com


Thanks for the link to that article!

Still, there was nothing concrete said in it about his health going forward just:

"He's doing well (in his rehab). He's one of my training room partners. I see him in there two seats over to the left."

Not a lot of tangibles in that...

Greg Romeus was projected to go in the third round with first round talent but slid all the way to us in the 7th round. He's coming off a bad year with knee and back problems. His weakness is against the run but he has room for improvement. If he can look anything like his film we've got a real winner here.

RaginCajun83 01-20-2012 02:34 PM

IMO huge red flag since he's coming off of two major injuries, if this guy can come back to his old form then he's a steal but I'm in a wait and see approach when it comes to this guy but man when healthy pair him up with Junior and Tez and talk about a pass rush

FinSaint 01-20-2012 05:24 PM

The best thing about him is that in any case he was a low-risk/high-reward type of a draft all along. He could turn out to be a real steal, as was already pointed out, but if he can't overcome those injuries to become a starter or a back-up - it doesn't really matter since the team didn't investment in him a lot.

Seer1 01-20-2012 05:50 PM

Usually takes two years and a good DL coach to recover....

saintsfan1976 01-20-2012 06:42 PM

I'll take two more just like him.

Hagan! Who are our prospects?

Pete 01-20-2012 06:55 PM

I'll state it again:
"ROMEUS WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY"

RaginCajun83 01-20-2012 09:45 PM

Go look up Bruce Irvin DE/OLB from West Virginia, little bit I read said he could go in the mid rounds and play DE in a 4-3 and OLB in a 3-4

QBREES9 01-20-2012 10:20 PM

He'll be a good one, and the steal of the draft.
