Saints make qualifying offer to Mike Bell

Rugby Saint II · 03-01-2010, 09:55 PM

I would like to see him back in the black and gold, but if someone else is willing to pay him well then good luck. Hamilton looked good in limited playing time, although so did Bell.

Its a smart move by us, If someone wants to scoop him up they can, if not we get him on the cheap.

The Saints can line up Thomas, Bush, Bell, or Hamilton as their lead back and be successful. The Broncos did it with their great blocking scheme and the Saints can do it because their runningback is simply not that important to the offense. An average NFL back can get it done in the Saints current offense. Coach Payton now understands how important defense is to a successful team and with the current need at DE, DT, and OLB, they will probably select a guy from one of those positions at #32. But, a RB that is more talented than the Saints current stable will fall to the 32nd pick. It will be interesting.
