RB Ozigbo is BACK!!!!

Ozigbo is slightly bigger now so he "fits" the power-back role. Ty Montgomery can stay @ WR & less wear and tear on Taysom/Kamara.

I'm 99.9 % certain D.O. is elated to be leaving that cesspool in Jacksonville.

Welcome back to New Orleans.

Good move but unfortunately this means Jones is probably going to take a while to recuperate from his injury.

He just might be better than Jones Jr. . We should never have cut him to begin with. His hands are for realz.

I thought he was a lock to make squad.

Min of three to four weeks per reports...

I know most of you won't agree with this, but I was hoping the Saints would bring back Adrian Peterson. I know he is old, but believe he can still contribute 10-12 carries per game at 4 yards a pop.

If Ozigbo plays well then I'll be happy. I thought we should have found a way to keep him.

If Ozigbo is so great why can he not make a 53 man roster? Makes one wonder.

You are talking about the Jaguars, neaux?

Saints made a mistake earlier and may be owning up to it. We've a few along the way. :bng:

Trill "the thrill" may be another ... we'll see if he sticks around the Dolphins' roster.

No. I'm talking all 32 teams. He was released to be able to make it to the Jags practice squad. All 31 other teams passed on him, as well.

I think bringing back him will help in the screen game. Our screen game used to be nearly unstoppable. Now, it’s hardly a part of the offense and not very effective.

Bahahaha!!! You clowns have been talking about that guy non stop! Lol! He can't be that big a deal. Right????

You think he'd be any better in the screen game than Kamara or Deonte Harris? I seriously doubt it.

I haven’t seen AK in the screen game much this season. Harris is one juke or missed tackle away from breaking each and every one of his swing passes. He’s also one big hit away from breaking in half. He took a shot Sunday that looked like it hurt a lot. I wouldn’t consider him a screen pass guy. On the other hand, Bo has the size and shiftiness to handle that role.

Our offensive utilization has been lacking all season.

IMO Ozigbo is not going to make the screen passing game better, from what I've seen both Winston and Hill struggle big time with screen passes.

Simply sign Pierre Thomas, problem solved 😀.

Great signing.

A while back, I can’t remember but someone nicknamed Pierre
“PT CRUISER”. I’m like “NO”. Those things are always broken down on the hwy. Sure enough, shortly after Thomas hurt his ankle and was never the same again.
To be honest, I can’t really remember an effective screen game before or after PT. At least not the way he did it.

The screen game with PT was a thing of beauty.

An example of a back that had great vision, balance and knew how to set up blocks. Was beautiful to watch.

For sure. Scored our first SB Touchdown with all of that on display.

Facts. Pierre made it look easy, didn't he? You knew once Brees dumped it off to him, good things were bound to happen.

It was a pleasure watching him work.

Ozigbo has the same kind of hands... guess we'll have to see if he displays the same kind of patience. SP said he was sorry he cut him a while back. It was a mistake.

I wonder how much Ozigbo will touch the ball today? We need a power back to take a few of Kamara's touches. Let Kamara catch the ball some....

I didn't notice him. But some reported that he did play, probably on special teams, I reckon.

Saw him a few times in on pass protection.

As we head to the second half of the season, he should become more involved in the offense. Got a feeling as we head down the stretch, collectively we will be a much more sound team.

I wonder if he is any better than Joes or is just a temporary solution?
