Youth for the DL? Turk McBride at 26, i like this signing.

Turk for the first time has played one position for a few years straight.The knock on him in college besides his size as a DT was his skill set. At Tennessee he was plugged in everywhere. He now has 4 years of coaching at DE so the light may have gone on.

Drafted by KC the second round (54th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft

Chiefs switched McBride to linebacker after serving primarily as a defensive end in his first two NFL campaigns.

Released by the Kansas City Chiefs September 16, 2009 and acquired off waivers by the Detroit Lioin

2009 - Back-up defensive end. Recorded 23 stops (13 solo), 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and four special teams tackles.

2010 - Back-up defensive end. Recorded career high 5.0 sacks, and has 32 tackles, 3 forced fumbles and 1 fumble recovery.

The Saints probably knew they could not sign Hardgrove. Could be a very nice pick up.

Brown may not have shown much but our run game was better and isn't that his specialty?

I saw the box score and there were two T. McBride's - Turk and Trumaine. Someone is going to have to change their last name to Ochocinco!

Judging from last night, it looks like we have 10 D-linemen that can play NFL ball.
