Saints slogan for 2012

Danno · 02-26-2012, 09:49 AM

How about "no more slogans"

dizzle88 · 02-26-2012, 10:20 AM

I need to change my most used slogan, for the last two years it been "can't we catch a damn interception!"

How about:
"We can't get a deal done to save our lives, so look forward to a .500 season after losing half of our godd*** team"

Sorry, but if Drew were the only important player that needed a deal I would say take however long you want, but we have 3 or 4 other guys that we really don't need to lose, and it looks like we won't have half of them come preseason.

Why do you think they won't be resigned?

I enjoyed the candor and pessimism in your original comment,

, and you're right, the F/O has a lot to do, but it's still early in the contract season and no sense worrying about stuff that's out of your control ... like the draft & free agency. They'll get it done, it's all just posturing for the moment, the NFL is a business.

or play calling or injuries or wins and losses or NFL records...THE WHOLE NFL IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL...the only thing we control is our purchasing power to buy jerseys and tickets to games...and the remote control for the TV

There's so much time left before the FA period begins that it is just too early to make such predictions.

With Loomis' track-record of keeping guys around that they want to keep, and his abilities in drawing up contracts that are as cap friendly as possible under given circumstances - I'm not worried about the fact that nothing concrete has surfaced yet.

There'll probably be many contract announcements during the week leading to the FA period, and honestly, there's no reason for the FO to get any of the contracts done before that - even Brees'.

Brees definitely has to come first, I agree with that. And they will probably sign Colston and tag Nicks. The problem is that next year Nicks will walk, since he already announced as much, if he gets tagged. It is the guys after that I am worried about. Meachem is much more valuable than most fans give him credit for, and Aubrayo Franklin needs to stick around so that Spags has more than one person who fits his scheme. If a deal isn't done some time early this week, frankly, we have no chance at keeping either of them, which would leave us in a pretty awkward position in FA and the draft. We would pretty much have to go back to picking up a WR and an extra DT instead of a cover safety and linebackers like we so desperately need. It totally bones the entire road map set up by the last couple years.
