Jeremy Green - ESPN Chat on Deuce

Green's shooting in the dark...just a throw-away remark.

Given Pittman's build and the obvious interest in him by trading up, I'm thinking the plan here is to have our 3rd RB be a mini-Bush type. Obviously both Bush and Deuce are important to the team, but I think a Bush injury rips more holes in the playbook -- hence the insurance policy.

Should Deuce go down, you can always find a more traditional RB to sign or trade for. Bush's unique and varied role on the team almost demands having somebody on the roster who can step in with a working knowledge of the playbook.

But hey, what do I know?

I see the drafting of Pittman as a money saving move.

Stecker is due almost 2 mil this year, to much for a special teamer at best.

Pittman, maybe 3 milliom on a 3 year contract.

Stecker has never impressed me anyway. Can you say bye bye?

The Saints made a mistake last year by letting Michael Bennett be traded. He was to have the role of Reggie Bush before he dropped to them. Stecker tried to play a reliever role but was not effective even on special teams.With Pittman he can step in for both Reggie and Deuce.
It's time for the fans to get rid of their loser mentality. Stockpiling of talent for winning teams don't mean letting go of starters, it mean finding quality backups when drafting at the bottom of the draft.
Start getting use to how winning teams play and aquire players.
