I would bring in Thurman for a testdrive.

We may be able to take the money for C Grant and place it with Jason Taylor ; )
I'm not sure we have many options as there are 31 other NFL franchises that would like solid LB's as well... Curious though, Odell Thurman has to clear waivers; I wonder if the Saints are at slot 10 on the Waivers List further up or down?!? |

Also, anyone notice Geathers' size? How tough would it be to convert Geathers into an LB instead of DE ? Does he have the speed ? Hmm, interesting ? |

Re: So who are the solid WLB's available to us?
I'd like to see us pick up Spikes. I think he's still got a little left in the tank.
I know this will be unpopular, but I actually think that Simoneau could move to the WLB and be better than he was in the middle. In 2006 he had a pretty good year for us, and a slight change in reponsibilities might be just what he needs. Of course, there are a few players on the roster who could be surprises. In the end, I'd be pretty happy with at least one more vetran addition to the LB corps. |

Re: So who are the solid WLB's available to us?
too me there all too old or too raw, but if u gotta pick up someone it might as well be spikes he had 84 tackles in 14 games wit 4 sacks or Ian gold he had 72 tackles wit 2 sacks in 14 games, but he tends to get push back in run support.... i mean all else whatever happen to that office linebacker lol

Re: So who are the solid WLB's available to us?
The Bungals? I will say it again. Play for Pay Contracts only. Money kickers if you make the season without getting trouble. Then the same clauses if you decide to sign them for the following year.
Henry would be a great addition as would Thurman. I think we can wait and see what else is out there later. |
