Saints acquire LB Barrett Rudd from Seahawks for an Undisclosed Pick
1 Attachment(s)
The Saints signed Linebacker Barrett Rudd from Seattle. Anyone know anything about him? Might as well make one thread about all new LB signings because there will probably be a bunch.

Re: Saints sign LB Barrett Rudd
If their is cap room, they should look into Merriman.
Its at a point you have to look at just about anyone as far as LBers go. |

Rudd played MIKE for the bucs and started for 2 seasons. Mostly noted for getting run over by Ivory. In fact the only time I have seen him mentioned he is getting trucked by some RB... Crap signing, wont start but will add depth I guess. Would still like to see Merriman get a shot.

Maybe he can be coached back to his former self. He was a pretty good player for a few years and still 29.

I don't know anything about the guy, but happy to see the people in charge are making moves to plug up a hole.

I love it when fans throw players under the bus so quickly. He may or may not be washed up, but it certainly doesn't help morale looking at everything through chicken little's glasses.
Sorry... Patrick Willis isn't on the market right now. Take what we can get right now and hope for the best. I swear reading those type of comments just irks the **** out of me sometimes. |
Re: Saints trade Seahawks for LB Barrett Rudd for Undisclosed Pick
Loomis and Spags knows a lot more then we do. It's a good thing

Vilma doesn't like the Cornhusker infestation. So Rudd is also a Husker...just like Shanle....

Barrett Ruud's regular 2009 statistics look impressive: 142 tackles, tied for second with London Fletcher and behind Patrick Willis for the most tackles in 2009. Some of that is due to the poor play around him, which means he's often the first one to actually tackle opposing players. However, that's not all of it: Ruud has great range and diagnoses the play very well. According to Football Outsiders he was in on 19% of all Bucs defensive plays in 2008, which was the highest percentage of any player in the league. In 2009 he was in on 18% of all plays, which was 7th highest in the league. Whatever his 2009 faults were, he was good at getting to the ball before the play was over.
Another thing that few people will dispute: Ruud is great in coverage. He can run down the seam with most tight ends in the league and has a good feel for the underneath passing game. He doesn't show up much in the passing stats, but that can be attributed to teams throwing less to his area of the field. Of course, any MLB will still have to rely on safety help over the top, and we were woefully lacking last year in that aspect, at least when Sabby was the relevant safety. Those aspects of his play are the least controversial, but the one aspect that has this fanbase divided on Ruud is his play against the run. In an attempt to resolve this, I'll take a look at Ruud's advanced statistics in the run game and what they say about his play last year after the jump. Examining Barrett Ruud's 2009 season using Football Outsiders' advanced statistics - Bucs Nation He had multiple seasons like that in Tampa Bay. So there's the little upside... and there's that garbage player that was only being mentioned when he was ran over like a rag doll in Tampa Bay. At least give the guy a chance. Dude hasn't even put on a uniform yet and you have the Saint trolls come out the woodwork and ragging on him. Heaven forbid the guy misses a tackle while he's here. |

With all the injuries, this move almost seems like an absolute necessity. I like it.

I know he ate Ivory's jock, but I thought the guy was a decent LB for the Bucs. I lost track of him. I definitely like the depth!

I think it a good trade if he can plays the way he played at Tampa Bay.

Re: Saints trade Seahawks for LB Barrett Rudd for Undisclosed Pick
Hey now, Shanle could run down tight ends too! He ran right down and watched them cross the goal line.....
Welcome aboard Barrett. Hope you have the best season of your career. |
Re: Saints trade Seahawks for LB Barrett Rudd for Undisclosed Pick
Hell we needed another body. Maybe it's a late-rounder with performance contingencies?

Re: Saints trade Seahawks for LB Barrett Rudd for Undisclosed Pick
Hopefully we are getting all the bad luck out of the way early. Maybe this means we will have a streak of good luck throughout the season. It would be such a tremendous story if we could rise above all this adversity and come out SB champs. No team has ever surmounted this kind of adversity. The cards could not be stacked any less in our favor.

As difficult as it is to say this, I'd rather see one of our guys getting trucked by trying than some guy pulling up with a lame move just for style points... If we signed him, somebody (maybe Spagnuolo) sees something... Merriman? can he really still play on that artificial knee? Would prefer youth, but it's not like there's alot of quality LB out there for us... And leave Martez right the F**K where he is; I want to see a F***ing Pass Rush in this decade! |
