Well in a way yes, but in another no. I've thought all along that Johnson was automatic barring a season ending injury - which the calf isn't - but I think that Miller is a better fit to what the Saints and GW do in that particular position than King is.

I have nothing against King and I think that he will develop into a good player with the right tutelage, but he got pushed around pretty bad against the Titans and somehow I see that as a trend which will repeat itself.

If I had my way - I'd like to see him slim down a little and move to being a LB like he was in HS (if I remember correctly). He could develop into being a good rushing OLB with the motor he has, and, therefore, I would like to see him signed to the PS while the sturdier Miller could take his spot in the 53 if the Saints plan to keep 5 DTs on the active roster.

Hall can play like a TE, which is one of the things I took away from the Titans game. While D. Thomas has been a TE, who can play FB - I think that Hall can be the same vise versa... and more.

Seriously? She sure resembles my gal.

Anyway back to business. de la Puenta did not impress me at all. We do look mighty thin on the O line. And why the hell hasn't Sean brought in a LB'er? Herring is certainly not the answer. And Wilson is just so raw. For some reason I have a feeling that GB is game planning towards attacking the LB'ers. I would.
GW did a great job last year with slightly less talent let's see if he can get us back to the Superbowl.
