Good Job front office!

I really don\'t think all is lost yet! Ian Gold, Dhani Jones and Brandon Short would all be upgrades to the LB corp, and theyre out there (so here\'s hoping we make a move). I really hope we sign Woodard, as I think he\'d be a great fit on our line (and to those of you who think he is nothing more than a backup, the fact that the Pats wanted him last year to be their starting NT should maybe change your tune.) So there are good players still out there.

We didn\'t pick up one of the FA CBs, but if we picked up Dunta or Gamble in the first, and Strait in the second, I definitely think that Fred Thomas and Ambrose can hold down the fort while the new guys learn the ropes. Remember, Fred and Ambrose were the starters last year, and our secondary wasn\'t that bad.

I\'m not trying to blindly defend our front office here, believe me, if we don\'t make a serious play for Ian Gold or Dhani Jones I\'ll probably become just as pessimistic about the Saints chances as WhoDat. All I\'m trying to say though is that it is WAY too early to throw in the towel for this offseason yet.
