I'm probably guilty of "banging the drum" when it comes to Tom Johnson, and I'm not apologizing about it one bit.

TJ is head & shoulders above both King and Miller, and if you're afraid of facing Miller on some other team if the Saints cut him... well I'm terrified of the Saints letting TJ slip from their hands and having to face him down the line for seasons to come.

And to the point of which players have the support of the coaching staff - this is from SP's practice recap from 8/16:

How did Tom Johnson show up in the game before he got hurt?

“He did well, he did very well. You know, if we were identifying a few players that stood out, he would have been one of those players, he was one of those players.”

Has he kind of flown over the radar because of Shaun Rogers and Aubrayo Franklin?

“I think a little bit, Tom Johnson is one of those names to begin with as under the radar. But he’s had a good camp, and he’s smart. He was real good the other night in his snaps and hopefully we can get him back as soon as possible.”

Payton Recaps Tuesday's Practice


I know it was after the SF game and he hasn't played since, but that's more praise than I've heard of either Miller or King.

Also, I can't get past the fact that those plays where Miller got his sacks were really weird with him getting of the line very slow and the O-Line virtually not blocking him... I wonder if it was by design? I personally don't think so, and that would not happen against the 1st string guys.

OK. Clearly I've chosen my horse in this race and I agree with you guys that I'll cheer for any and all of them if they get to wear the black & gold jersey.

No i got the point about Galette...thats why i said he recovered a fumble and got some pressure...King looks good at times as does Miller...T.J aint played much so its up in the air on him...cant make the club soakin in the tub..

Our latest blowout in recent memory, pre-season or not, and a guy gets two sacks in 3 plays.

That's where I'm all in.

Agreed. We (collectively) will back whomever they put on the line, for sure.

Also agreed, it could be a fluke. Tomorrow night will tell for sure. Then the sacrificial lambs get cut away to create this year's Championship team.
