He can run for Mayor then but this is football.

Sean likes using extra TE's anyway... its not like we have to have a FB.

I got it, but at the same time you can't ignor character.

Just noticed Leonard Weaver is a free agent. Maybe if he can recover from his ACL, we could grab him. Was just an All-Pro back in 09 and has one of the meanest stiff arms in the game. I've met the guy and he's very passionate about the game. If you can come back from depression and addiction, you can come back from injury.

Hall should do a good job not worried about it much. Get in your playbook though.

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...

Hall was also one of GB's special team aces.

That's true; another check...

And we signed UDFA FB Kolby Hurt, who might be a solid practice squad FB and emergency fill-in. Also with great special teams potential. He also played LB in college.

I know FB is a dyig position & I do not get it. Look at some of the best years by RBs & you normally see a good FB blocking for him!!
