Rumor: Tank Johnson to the Saints

saintswhodi · 07-05-2007, 10:07 AM

Actually, my problem is more with the suggestion there is an agenda cause someone DOESN'T want to sign Tank than it is with Tank being discussed. I don't see where it says anyone should not discuss Tank. I do see where I said it's BS to me until the team says they are interested. This stemmed from one man, John Clayton, saying we should be interested in Tank cause it appears we have a need at DT, and Tank is a DT. That's it. No one from the Saints camp has mentioned Tank one time that I am aware of. But when the line was taking an agenda is why folks didn't want Tank to be signed, I said signing him was BS until the team says something. I don't see how that should stop anyone from discussing Tank though. Can you point out where I said I felt no one should discuss Tank?

No, I can't. I wasn't directing my statements at you as much as just making my point that it doesn't matter whether the team expressed any interest or not as far as our discussing it goes. It did seem like you were brushing off the whole discussion calling it "BS" because Loomis hasn't mentioned getting Tank and that he hasn't mentioned it is irrelevant. They might sign Tank without any metion of him before hand.

Actually, I was brushing the scenario off as BS since it only came from Clayton. That still doesn't mean anyone and everyone who wants to can't discuss it. It's BS TO ME cause no one but Clayton has made this leap. But when people start throwing the word "agenda" around "throwing stuff up against the wall" reports, well, I call BS. But it being BS would be my opinion, and doesn;t mean it can't be discussed. just that I don't have to buy what's being sold.
