Saints Hosting Many Free Agents
Saints Hosting Many Free Agents --
Sun Mar 4, 2007 --from FFMastermind.com AP reports the New Orleans Saints met with two more defensive free agents Sunday and scheduled at least one more for early this week after initially hosting two others over the weekend. S Deon Grant and LB Chris Draft were the latest to be brought to New Orleans by the Saints, who also hosted LB Brian Simmons on Saturday and S Ken Hamlin on Sunday. Meanwhile, CB William James is due in on Tuesday, said his agent, Ron Slavin, who also negotiated DL Hollis Thomas' new four-year contract with the Saints. http://www.ffmastermind.com/teambits.php?team=NO repost of the visits |

RE: Re: RE: Saints Hosting Many Free Agents
with hosting all these safeties...does that mean the team is not planing on harper coming back healthy or that they don't think he is the answer at safety?

It means that the coaching staff has lost faith in Bullocks, and after watching his performance this past season, I don't blame them. All of you that defended him, I laugh in your general direction.

As for Bullocks, I still like the guy. He hasn't progressed as everyone would have liked, but he is talented. I'm surely not going to give up on him yet. I wouldn't mind us bringing in someone to compete and push him though... competition is healthy. |

I am worried to say this in fear of multiple shotgun blast, but I was not impressed with McKenzie at all this year far more than Bullocks. He's not at the cut level yet................. but IMO, he's getting close.

RE: Re: RE: Saints Hosting Many Free Agents
I really thought Harper and Bullocks were going to be the answer back there. Harper gets hurt and Bullocks needs work. I still think that corner is more of a concern though. I think Bullocks will continue to improve and so will Harper, but having a solid veteran that hasn't run out of gas will help.
