Ok the Saints are bringing in three long time veterans this week...

Leonard Little (DE) - played sparingly at St. Louis last year - did have 6 sacks BUTMissed the last 3 games with a knee infection (???)

Jamal Williams (DT) - played only one game last year for SD & then set out with a tricepts injury

James Hall (DE) - Also St. Louis, also the youngest of the three (only 10 year vet as opposed to 12 year) & a local product.

None of them really grabs attention. 5 years ago maybe.

Jamal Williams is a hoss. If we can't draft Terrance Cody or Cam Thomas, we should try to sign him for a reasonable price. He and Ellis would stop those huge runs up the middle. So what if he's an older player, so is Darren Sharper. If he can't play he gets cut and we haven't lost anything.

Where's the youth in this bundle. Veterans are a great part of any team, but we are talking football. Things hurt more and hurt longer the more snaps you take. We need players that can snap back from the nicks and the bruises; and players that we can count on for a few years. There are always the one year deals that are used to fill in the gaps until a permanent plug can be found, but there is a limit. Like some of the other guys, I would go Grant again before rolling the dice like this.

We tried the old guys approach last season and none made it out of training camp...

You need young DL who can bring it as stong in the first quarter in Week 1 as well as guys who can finish the fourth quarter in the Superbowl...
