Players Saints looking at

Granted, we have some ?'s on offense, but you have to admit the defense was as porous my screen porch after Katrina. We had no pass rush at all with our front four, refused to dog the backers or blitz and got burned in deep on every third and long. The defense must be re-built from the ground up first.

Did you look at the next day's interests,
NFL Draft Countdown Senior Bowl '08 - 1/23/08 Player / Team Observations

I think their are a lot of Defensive players there.

what does it mean that we 'looked' at about 20 players and these other teams are only looking at 1-2?

I think the Pats "looked at Chad Henne on another day" so there's really not a lot to these notes.
If you really believe it though,
I saw that they looked at a few OL and TE's
and DE's, S, CB, and LB's

Not a bad list but like last year we did not draft any one we looked at. We are out kicking tires

D. Rodgers-Cromartie,D. Rodgers-Cromartie,D. Rodgers-Cromartie

I watched the cat yesterday, and am VERY IMPRESSED. This guy is my hopeful draft pick. Or should I say "Diamond in the Ruff".

Avery is a devery henderson clone, i want to see him catch the ball more

I can definitely agree with both previous post (td and ms's). I really appreciate what EJ did for us but I'd like to see more explosiveness out of the tight end position. EJ provided us with no YAC while Miller can actually open things up and stretch the field. With that said, I wouldn't just hand Miller the starting gig. There are a few guys I'd like for us to bring in to compete for that job... mainly Utecht from Indy. We should also consider drafting a TE on the second day as Deuce mentioned earlier.

I think that Campbell is being overlooked here. In my opinion, he's the most complete TE on the team. I guess the point is that TE is not a need for the Saints. Especially if Johnson can play like he did in 2004.

COMPLETELY and totally forgot about Campbell...

Here's to hoping he's made a healthy recovery and can make an impact upon his return in 2008!

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way. Last edited by papz; 01-25-2008 at 01:08 PM..
