Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

With all sign's that Mike Bell might not be coming back, Drew Brees wrote on his twitter page that he want LT "LaDainian Tomlinson" as a member of the Saints

what does everyone think about that???

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

Sure, If LT doesn't mind being the 3rd RB. PT is our starter.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

I don't think it would be a bad idea at all, as a third RB, of course.

Defense!

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

I think Drew should stick to playing quarterback and let Sean and Mickey worry about that.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

I said in previous posts I will not be surprised if LT comes to the Saints. I think the ground work was laid last off season. I was surprised there wasn't a trade for him at that point actually.

So no surprise for me... I think Brees was telling LT come to NO.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

I love Drew too, but its not his place. If I remember correctly Drew wanted Donnie Edwards to and that didn't happen.

All things change when you get a ring. What ever lola wants lola gets. Same case scenario only drew is a man.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

If it works out so be it !!!! LT was a great running back, and still is.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

LT would be good for a tryout...it wouldn't trouble me seeing him in a Saint's uni. He would clearly have to understand his role to the team.

who dat

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

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.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

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

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

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.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

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

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

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.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

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?

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

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.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

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?

no

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

Then that's probably the answer. There's no sense in letting go of a horse with questionable legs for a tired workhorse with questionable legs if it doesn't make the team better as a whole.

Yes, we won the Superbowl. Now we have to get better and keep the team moving FORWARD.

Re: Drew wants LT in Black&Gold
 

Could LT stay healthy? Would he sign for a reasonable price? Would he be happy in a reserve role? Does his running style really fit in with the Saints already dominant offense? To me there are still questions that need to be answered.
