How about a project. Since a FB is not a traditional FB by any means in the SP definition of the position. Why not look to the draft for a solution. A large back with hands that is an answer to our needs on short yardage.
Toby Gerhart, Stanford Dorin Dickerson, Pittsburgh I would love to PT and DD in the same backfield with bush in the slot n third and long. Last edited by hagan714; 03-15-2010 at 07:06 AM.. |

Re: Saints looking at a couple of full backs...
Looks like y'all are reading too much into it.
These are just routine visits by minor players that happen every offseason. |

Re: Saints looking at a couple of full backs...
I agree, T-R. We may be hitting a panic button here. Could be that Heath Evans will be just fine next season. The fact that Loomis & Co. are working out other fullbacks could be just precautionary, just in case Heath Evans is not 100% next year.

Re: Saints looking at a couple of full backs...
I haven't seen how Evans is that great at any point of his career. Plus, the FB is and always will be an afterthought in Payton's offense.

Re: Saints looking at a couple of full backs...
Evans made me forget about a guy that I liked in the backfield in Karney. Evans is more than a blocker so he adds more dynamics to the #1 offense in the league. I hope that he stays healthy next year.

Re: Saints looking at a couple of full backs...
Evans freakin went off in the Eagles game and played a huge role in all the game's he played. He was a beast in the backfield and the dude has great hands as well. He'll be back in 2010.
