Are the Saints really doing well in free agency?
The Saints have only resigned Colston and brought in a decent replacement to Nicks with Ben Grubbs. What about all of the other free agents they let slip through the cracks?
The Saints lost Robert Meachem and havnt picked up anybody to replace him yet. The best of the recievers pool have already been signed: Vincent Jackson signed with Tampabay where Nicks will definitely be making an impact against us twice a year. It was bad enough that ths Saints had to deal with Nicks blocking for the run, but now they have Jackson? Common man!!! As if Mike Williams wasn't enough by himself. Throw Kellen Winslow and LeGarrette Blount into the mix and the Saints are going to have a hard time covering both the run and the pass. We will be lucky to pull off 1 win against them this year. The Falcons resigned John Abraham and Harry Douglas, signed Vince Mauwal and linebacker Lofa Tatupu from free agency, and retained much of their team from 2011. Their roster boasts one of the most prolific defenses in the league with players such as Abraham, Grimes, Biermann, Babineaux, Tatupu, Lofton, and Decoud. They suffered a demoralizing loss in the playoffs last year to the Giants and will be looking for some pay back this season. We might even see a NFC championship game between the SAINTS and FALCONS this year. Lets just hope our team brings its best game. Superbowl at home is what its all about. The Panthers waived defensive tackle Demario Pressley and signed Haruki Nakamura. They havn't been very active in the free agency thus far and seem to be relying on their existing core of defensive players. Which brings me back to the question of are the SAINTS really doing well in free agency? Who is left? Check out this kffl free agent tracker: KFFL - 2012 NFL Free Agents Here are the picks I think are still good for us: WR: Bernard Berrian, Deion Branch, Plaxico Burress, Early Doucet, Braylon Edwards, Ted Ginn Jr, T.J Houshmandzadeh, "Mike Wallace", and Hines Ward. TE: Dallas Clark, Visanthe Shiancoe, and Jeremy Shockey. DL: Brodrick Bunkley, Shaun Ellis, Brandon Mckinney, Rob Ninkovich, Kyle Love, Demario Pressley, ....... To be continued. LOL, sorry...I lost my train of thought. Damn graveyard shifts. |
