Mike McKenzie anyone?

Danno · 11-15-2009, 05:54 PM

Anyone think MM should get a phone call soon?

With a healthy Porter/Greer, McKenzie probably isn't a good fit in the big picture. You want your 3/4/5 CB's to excell at nickel, dime and special teams. None of that was McKenzie's forte.

But now that we need a solid #2 CB (assuming Jenkins still needs to develop), McKenzie becomes a good fit.

I think I'm speaking with MM tonight. I think he's a good fit for a GW system, assuming he's healthy.

That's what I posted in another thread ... go ahead and give him a call for us. We'll need him.

i wouldnt mind seeing MM back, but jenkins is a first rounder and as good as hes been thus far, its time to step it up.

I don't know man, Jenkins seems to always be behind his receiver and not really getting his head around on deep passes... I know he needs game experience but I haven't been too encouraged in his limited time.

If this is a good run, Mike McKenzie deserves to ride the bus as much as any Saint the past three years...

jest sayin' chez'

If Mike McKenzie wants to be back in a Saints uniform then give it to him. He would be a great fit with this defense if he's healthy. I wonder where we make the roster space?

emteejae · 11-15-2009, 09:32 PM

I wonder what kind of shape he's in ? I'd love to see him aboard for the ride though....

Could Porter go on IR to make room?

It's been pretty much leaked out that Porter has a torn ACL, so yes, he will probably be put on IR tomorrow after his official MRI.
