I understand why Drew would want him. They are best friends and he wants LDT to have a shot at a ring. However, I'm not very interested in a 31 year old running back that has worn the tread off his tires, especially with the young stable of running backs we have in place right now. I would be extremely suprised if you see LDT in black and gold next year.

He has something to prove and the Bolts already gave us a gift in Drew..maybe lightning strikes twice..No pun intended..another Texan?..might be a good thing

I would be ok with him coming to N.O. to take the place of Mike Bell. Lt does run hard and could be a very good role player at this point in his career.

Far out! I agree...but I'm not an LdT fan.

what does everyone think about that???

Just to be clear, Drew never stated that he wanted LT. His post read "Due to popular demand, who would like to see LT in black and gold next year". Some of you are being a little critical of Drew by taking his post out of context.

Think ahead almost a year. Saints/Bolts Superbowl. Drew Brees ( a former Bolt) throws the game winning touchdown to LT (a former Bolt). Boy wouldn't that suck if you are a Bolts fan?

He was a great RB. I think that Bell and Hamilton have more to offer due to the mileage that LT has put on his body. We've seen this before with Emmit Smith, Edgerrin James and my favorite, Earl Campbell.

I haven't followed LT much. Yes, he's 31. Yes, he's definitely worn off more tread than his tires have left on them. But here's the important question, at least in my mind. How healthy has he been in his career so far? Has he been an every game back, or has he had stretches where he's sat out chunks of a season (3+ games) at a time? Reggie is great when he has his head in the game, but he's injury prone. PT is great as well, but he's also been bit by the injury bug the last couple of seasons.

Would LT be the back that can stay injury free and consistently produce week after week for us?
