Re: Veteran FB Eckel returns to Saints
I agree about Heath Evans. That was a huge loss. But I thought that Eckel was cut because he was a subpar blocker and horrible special teams player? I guess we are getting desparate at the FB position. I did notice that Terrelle Smith was released.

Looks like a typical 55-56 man roster shuffle to me. Keep him in the loop learning more and more of our sytem because we could need him the way our injuries are piling up. |

Re: Veteran FB Eckel returns to Saints
Terelle can't catch .... plus does he not have back issues?
Our running game should improve with a real Fullback... | |

Re: Veteran FB Eckel returns to Saints
It's obvious to me that blocking has dropped off lately and this move is probably Payton trying to fix that. I agree that Heath Evans was a huge loss. We have to do something to give Drew and the running backs a little more time.
