few more saints notes

I dont know word for word what he said...but it was something along the lines of "...I am not going in there and do stupid rookie things for the offensive lineman."

"...I am not going in there to be anybody's b**ch"

"...I am not going down there to sit on the bench, i am going down there to take jobs."

Now those arent direct quotes, but what was said was very similar. Stinchcomb and Faine dont seem to be early fans of his. We shall see how this plays out.

Uhh... if I were a rookie, I wouldn't want to be anyone's @#%^ either. If I were a rookie, I would want to come in there and take someone's job too. What rookie actually enjoys hazing? He's saying how he feels.

Quick let's all jump on the Alleman hate-wagon! Or not.

Not I said the duck! I think i'll wait a while to pass judgement.

Those are things I want a rookie O-lineman to think, not say. I don't know that he said them so I am not going to condemn him for it, but he needs to be sure to be tactful when making these types of remarks.

He's a rookie after all and doesn't know what he's going to face.

yeah but come on... when someone gives you crap and wants you to play a position that you have no heart for and rather play a different position then by all means if the team isn't working with you then go to another team that will make you happy and also you'll have more heart to play with because you are happy at that position.

I am surprised that Andy is getting dissed. Usually only certain players get dissed.

If those are really his quotes then I am saying "HELL YEAH! This guy has passion and FIRE! I love him."

"I'm not a huge Alleman fan as is and of course, that's just my opinion. There was a scouting report out there (I read it awhile back but can't locate it) that said that Alleman had a bit of an attitude problem and thinks he's better than he really is."

I've been meaning to reply to this for some time but have had no opporitunity to do so. Now it's old news so it doesn't matter I suppose but that scouting report was from one of the pre-draft magazines that I had purchased which was either ProFootballWeekly or Lindy's. It raised flags with me also as I read it immediately after the Alleman pick and was questioning the F.O. for it and wondering who the heck this guy was.
I hope that Allemans comments are more of a positive underachiever statement than cockiness but from Bobaganoosh's reporting it would seem to be the latter.

That said, it sounds like Alleman has been performing well in rookie performances according to Coach Payton.

Opptimism is high, the waiting period is long and it hasn't felt this good being a Saints fan in a long time.

When you speak of being loyal, don't forget coachs and schools. coachs recruit with big promises and leave for more money or get fired by unhappy allumni.even down to high school ball.i've even seen parents move to get in certain programs or get a job given to them to move to an area.let's judge performance

High school who cares. he was 17 or 18 at the time. If you have a problem with it talk to his parents. They had the final say in it. Get real

College he switched for playing time and new position. Seems to have been a smart move. If he stayed put he would have stayed on the defensive side of the ball and not gotten drafted probably. If he did this as buisness move yall would respect the kid more. Oh yeah this is a buisness. Hats of to the kid. Smart move. Just made a few million more than if he would haved stayed.
