Or put Strief in to bring the pain and create a running lane. Heck, just teach one of our reserve DE or LB's to lead block.

Thomas has and will continue to do that as Coach has said.
Hall gets us younger (per NFL, Saints are the second oldest club) and more athletic at Fullback...
Hall is a converted linebacker, who was outstanding in college, that was recognized for his athletic talent...
Plus you have to want a guy that will submit the ego and change positions just so he can get on the field...
I believe there are two other rookie free agents on the roster...
Chances are though we will keep only one as their are very few packages in this offense that requires a Panzer to plow the road or do an end-around for a quick pass from Brees when opposing D keys on running back...
