re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

dude, calm yourself strato. cleveland? really...? how can he even remotely HONOR a thought of playing in cleveland? they don't really have much going on...he didn't have to go looking. i really liked fujita, but i think he can be replaced, maybe by arnoux. it's not a horrible move, but it's one that needs to be looked at. much love scott, hope all works out for you, but we're gonna kick your ass this year. cheers!

Ok whatever..this wreaks....Scott should have atleast been offered a deal..

re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Not a huge loss IMO. Wish him luck with the Browns. Vilma is our only solid all around Linebacker. Shanle should be next but I think the FO will spare him. Of the 2 Shanle did have the better year barely. We need studs in there at Sam and Will, just like we have at Mike. Again, best of luck to 55.

Saints fans,

Just curious how Fujita fared last season? Was he a big liability in pass coverage? At age 30 I'm just a little concerned we're getting a guy with too much mileage, but I know he's always played with a high motor regardless.

BTW much congrats on the SB win. The Saints franchise had been eerily similar to the Browns for awhile... Rich tradition, die hard fans, and long periods of hardship. If it couldn't be the Browns we're glad another blue collar team took it.

Welcome Dawg.

Well, I am sorry to see Scott go. He was one of the first players to sign here after the storm. He has been great in the community and good on the field.

If you guys need a vocal, smart, great character leader on your D. Well you just signed one. That will be his biggest contribution to your organization IMO. He isn't the best on the field at any one thing. Rather, pretty good at a lot of things, especially run support. He is OK in coverage. Don't look for a ton of sacks from him either. Not his forte'. Solid OLB and a great dude in the locker room.

He will be missed here.

I really look forward to watching us play the North this year.
Hope to see you here when we play ya'll. Just don't hate when we sweep your Div!;)

So all it takes is for one Saint to go to Cleveland for you to show your true colors?

Re: Former New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita talks about moving on
 

This is how you leave a job without burning your bridges, yet, at the same time, you give people an idea of your real feelings.

I don't know about you guys, but it seems pretty obvious to me that he didn't want to leave, but he's not going to turn down serious cheese just to be "loyal".

I am not sure what will happen next with the Saints, as next year seems to be a little different when it comes to free agency and salary caps and such, but I'm afraid that more people are going to take the same attitude. It's kinda like...

"Yeah...it's been real, but in the end money talks and BS walks", especially when you already have the ring under your belt.

Obviously these are just my opinions.


On an off-topic note...It's great to finally be a glorious beacon of light and not just a really nice guy. Thanks for all who contributed. :)

Noooo... I wanted Scott to be around man.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

your getting a true pro in scott. While he may not light up players with espn hits he does get the top ten spot at times for being in the right spot at te right time. dude is smart and plays the position perfectly. Always in get shape and he does not come with a long list of injuries. Great signing! You have a leader in the locker room and in the city of Cleveland.

I can not say a bad thing about this man.

Congrats and thanks for the well wishes.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I must be in the minority here but I'm happy to see Scott leave. Since 1994 the Saints have needed an upgrade at outside linebacker, finally they get a chance to do it. He was decent in run support and made a few huge plays about once a season. I just don't understand why people are treating this like the Saints lost Lawerance Taylor. He has been an overachiever for most of his career and now he goes to the Browns, a team where career go to die. Enjoy your 5 wins next year Scott
