But but... we don't have any money to spend.

Loomis does it again.

Papz, how many years does the guy have to do it before the haters finally accept the fact that we have a damn good GM. Best since Jim Finks and I'm wondering if he's already passed him.

WE ARE LOADED FOR A RUN...AGAIN!!!

And we've finally addressed the LB position we've all so desperately wanted.

Dare I say we could have THREE new starters at LB this year?

I'd all but given up on this ever happening.

I need a bro-hug.........

Wilson, Hawthorne, Lofton? that was my first thought when we signed Hawthorne today

I was thinking more like Wilson, Lofton, Chamerlain, but Hawthorne works quite well for me too.

I also like what I've read about Bussey. He's a sleeper candidate for WLB.

He's like Cassillas, if he's healthy, he's a starter.

If is a big word..........

Isn't Bussey the one who missed his whole senior year with a serious back injury?

I believe he was projected as a 2nd round pick before he was injured...

Nope, thats Romeus. Bussey was the dynamo LB alongside Martez at Illionois. Some thought he was the better college LB of the two. It remains to be seen if that translates at the next level tho.

I'm also quietly expectant of Hunter, who seems to have a lot of raw talent based on what I've read about his college playing days.

He's my sleeper pick for the next couple of seasons 'cos he won't probably get many chances to break through the depth charts this coming season, but if he can make a ST contribution and the chips fall just right... who knows?

I really like the depth, talent, and the youth coupled with veteran leadership that the Saints' LB corps seems to have right now. They may not have any superstars, but a very solid group who hopefully will play well as an unit under Spags.
