Ladell Betts Honored to be with the Saints
 

Running back Ladell Betts joined the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday at their workout in the Superdome.
Betts says that when his knee -- which is coming off surgery to repair a torn ACL -- is 100 percent that he is a between the tackles runner who hopes to make an impact with the team.

Seems like a really down to earth guy, he's a bruiser back. lets hope he can make a solid contribution when called upon.

And lest home one HELL of an "impact" on the Defensive players!

this guy could be a bell and a half if he returns to form. i always respected the man in his role over the years with the skins

776 attempts - 9 fumbles, 7 lost.

players always say they are glad to be with "whoever".

If the Lions offered me a contract I would say..."I am deeply shocked at my agent for actually getting me a leauge minimum contract with the Detroit Lions; who have sucked donkey ever since Barry sanders left. However, I am extremly proud to be appart of this fine orginization with a deep and charished history."

Sorry guys, I'm in a goof-ball mood today. ;-)

This guy is worthless. Fumble problems and a repaired knee. I would not get my hopes up on this guy. The skins got rid of him for a reason.

Well, he's here for a reason. I have all the faith in our top brass. But. I think our younger guys will step up Big this year. At least that's what I'm pulling for. If he can prove me wrong... Wouldn't be the first.

Worthless is as worthless does... Falcon troll...:bng:

That's kind of what I was thinking. :rolleyes:

I'm excited to see what Betts can do this year. Someone around here needs to be optimistic, might as well be me!

Im with ya...sorry 504 ..you cant **** on our parade...

Figured someone would say that about him. That's why I posted it (just two boxes above your comment) :crazy:

Betts is going to a good situation. From the Skins, who have basically been dregs for his eight seasins there; to a team that has a legit shot to go all the way.

What RB wouldn't want to land in a situation like that.

If his knees hold up he could be just what we need, and that's a big if. On the other hand it's all pure speculation at the moment. I'm a firm believer that the FO is still making the right decisions, they don't all work out but we've been pretty successful with retreads. Our rookie running backs look good but Ivory has issues holding onto the ball and Hill hasn't shown enough to impress me just yet. We still have three preseason games left.

payton knows that betts is a bruiser, even after an acl he still gets a call. i know people won't be satisfied till they see a huge name guy like a larry johnson or marion barber. i am pumped we have betts , hope i'm right, i think more people should be more excited.

If he can stay healthy, just maybe he can help 3rd down back.

776 attempts - 9 fumbles, 7 lost.

Yea, a huge percentage of fumbles... every 86 or so carries a defense strips him of the ball and only seven lost in 776 carries. All righty then.

Sean Payton likes him. Your opinion is diddleysquat in contrast not to mention statistically proven wrong. As the frozen ditz says, you've been refudiated.
