i too am very optimistic about stanley arnoux, has a nose for the ball stays in good position, plays coverage very well and is one of the fastest LB's that came out of the draft

arnoux and cassillas are very very fast for linebackers.....problem is they are also a bit small for linebacker

as for the original question.......leadership is hard to replace......hes big and strong and knows football

the browns picked up their defensive captain

Vey true with regards to leadership part, fujita was a good leader on D. Guess it will take time to replace that. Guess the size factor will either be solved in the draft, or gregg will pick the guy between casillas, arnoux or dunbar who he thinks will best help the D.

Fujita is atleast 20lbs heavier than both Arnoux and Casillas, he would never get run over and was a good tackler. Leadership like Canton says is hard to replace but I gt great hope for our young guys.

Without a doubt. We have no true SLB on the roster as of yet. A bunch of WLB does not make a SLB

Re: Are we going to miss Fujita?
 
The guys currently on the roster have backup/special teams ability. The good news is, Fujita wasn't a big playmaker himself. The Saints should be able to get a new starter in the first three rounds of the draft. Weatherspoon or Norwood would be great.

We're going to miss his intangibles and leadership in the locker room. But as far as production, I think we'll be just fine without him.

Re: Are we going to miss Fujita?
 
Well he did come in and do a good job for us but if you look at what we did without him in the line-up. I say we aren't going to miss him as much as I would like to think.

I am a big fan of his but its a good time to part with him. I also think this tips our hat at looking for a LB in the draft with our first pick.

As a fan I am going to miss him.

Will miss him on the field and in the locker room

His soundbytes during the superbowl were classic! I will miss him just because of that.

Re: Are we going to miss Fujita?
 
He was an average to slightly above average OLB. I think we all over-rate him because of how pathetic our LB's have been for about a decade now.

He won't be missed IF (BIG IF) Arnoux, Dunbar, Mitchell and Cassilas develop and improve as expected. If they don't step up, and we don't further address OLB, he'll be missed big time.

Hell yea, we are going to miss him, already do...

If he's under contract then we really have teams guessing what we are going to do...

Besides, he wasn't overrated, he was an excellent big run stop linebacker who'd had more impact if we had better defensive lineman across the front...

I like Fujita but his trash talk in the SB was broke. "I can lick an oreo faster than you"? Weak.

Give me something thoughtful and tough. Licking oreo's is neither.
