They probably made the move on Judon after Simmons wouldn't deal. As things stand they haven't come to terms with Judon either.

Re: Time To Move On At Tackle?
Very much related to the subject of the thread. The Saints are by no means alone in the dire need for OT help. It is a league wide expanding crisis. There may not be anything available as an upgrade to even backups come the cut. We'll see.

On Trevor Penning: “I saw a player that didn’t trust himself to play with technique at all. Went away from everything.”
- Duke Manyweather, Penning's offseason coach. |

Re: Time To Move On At Tackle?
It wasn't as bad on the whole as most believe. Far from perfect. But not the end of the world.

Re: Time To Move On At Tackle?
I'm holding out hope that TP is able to wake up and realize he's a 6'7" 325lb lineman who can dominate at Right Tackle.
If we see the same level of performance this weekend and DON'T make a SIGNIFICANT change at RT - and I'm talking a potential trade to SAVE the season, I am not confident this team has a shot at anything other than sub .500 To watch the Falcons work intently and aggressively to solve their problems while we continuously re-mold pieces of crap into slightly different shaped pieces of crap is maddening. |

Re: Time To Move On At Tackle?
I'm still holding out hope that the GM's office is targetting some OL's that will be either dropped or put on the taxi squad to be had for little to no sacrifice and cap space.
