Saints Waive PJ Hill

saintsfan1976 · 02-11-2011, 08:52 AM

Hate to see him waived bc he looked so good in camp last year.

Also waived FB Marcus Mailei.

Mike Kearney was released by St. Louis a few day ago... ?

So we're left with:

Reggie - who need to severely restructure and stay healthy
PT - who needs to sign a contract and stay healthy
Ivory - who has ability but finished the season on IR
Hamilton - starting to see a theme here??
And the "who knows" crew; Joique Bell, Julius Jones, DeShawn Wynn, Chris Taylor,Ladell Betts

Anyone else concerned with the position?

Man... there goes training camp. Didn't see that one coming.

saintsfan1976 · 02-11-2011, 09:12 AM

Time to focus on a RB. We haven't gone after a top RB since Deuce - well, unless you count Beanie Wells' understudy... What was his name again?

"can't get right"

At best he was a training camp/preseason body for us. I wish him luck... he put a lot of effort into losing weight coming into the pros... too bad he can't stay healthy.

Who has remained healthy? Our RB corps is the walking wounded and it needs a facelift.

I agree. The RB position definitely needs to be addressed. It's time to go after someone who can carry the load 20-25 times a game. Having depth is a great thing, but what good does it do a team when none of them can stay on the field? I love P.T., Reggie, and Ivory, but they've been spending more time in the infirmary than the field.

I'll say this - Reggie's year was when we had Deuce.

Waive JJ and ladell betts, two guys that have seen their best days.

Keep - Joique Bell, Wynn (can play special teams aswell), Hopefully Hamilton and Ivory can overcome their injury struggles, because they are both good RB's.
Sign Deangelo Williams, draft a late round RB, fight it out in training camp.
Sign PT to contract, if reggie restructures keep him, if not cya later.
