Saints Hosting Jamal Williams

exile · 03-08-2010, 03:21 PM

The New Orleans Saints apparently are in the market for a few old men.

35-year-old defensive end Leonard Little will visit this week. Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that 33-year-old defensive tackle Jamal Williams will be visiting the Saints, too.

Williams, who has spent 12 years in San Diego, has been a 3-4 nose tackle. In New Orleans, he'd become a defensive tackle in the team's 4-3 approach.

No thanks. Hopefully we pass on him and Little.

Seriously. Both of those guys are over the hill and injury risks. No thanks.

What? Why? Have they lost their mind? PASS,PASS! What we have now is better!

williams is a former all pro defensive lineman.

hes not the fastest guy but he represents the teams knowledge of their own weakness.....clogging the middle of the line

except for this past season he has remained relatively healthy.....not exactly sure where the injury questions come in to play

leonard little hasnt had as much success in the last few seasons

Might as well look up Hollis Thomas..and yet Sharper 34 and Fujita 30 are being let go?...dont get it..

I think Williams would be a better addition than Little, and would help us on obvious rushing downs and goal line defense, IF he is healthy. He would only get 10 -15 snaps per game tops, so I guess if he's not too pricey we could give him a shot.

And yes, I would rather have Grant back than Little for a multitude of reasons.

What happened with the Saints? They only going to place calls to guys over 30 and about to be done with football. Now I'll give Sharper the benefit of the doubt for now but come on Loomis talk to someone with some football life left in them

The main problem is that because of the uncapped year, there just isn't any talent under 30 out there that hasn't been tendered as a restricted free agent. If we are looking for help, we better bang up in the Draft. We come out of it with 6 new player, and hopefully 2 of them can either start or play significant roles.

Jamal Williams may not make it to NOLA. Hearing rumors that he may be signing with Denver before he even visits with us.
