Maybe depth.. Not a starter.

Saints o-line
9 sacks / 18 QB hits
yards/rush 4.3

Falcons o-line
11 sacks / 22 QB hits
yards/rush 4.1

Who would you suggest he replace? You don't reform a guard to Tackle mid season.

Usually you don't convert a guard to tackle because they don't have the footwork required to play on the outside.

Nicks for example does not have good enough feet to play on the outside and was therefore moved to guard.

Deon Butler is a deep threat... Replacement for Meachem and situational.

He is 5'10' 183 lbs and runs a 4.38 in the 40... 4th among all WR in the 2009 Combine, and 11.3 60yd shuttle 3rd in the combine.

He is a hair faster than Meachem@ 4.39
and a match with Henderson. 4.32-4.4

The Saints are working out free agent WR Jason Hill.

The Saints are also working out Deon Butler, and apparently looking for depth at receiver. Hill was signed by the Broncos in February, but didn't survive camp cuts. He caught 25 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns in Jacksonville last season.

Great... WR's, not defense...
WR's...
Fantastic.
What we really need is more RB's on the roster...

Damn this team

Proof the Saints Front Office comes to B&G... the FO reads all the "our problem is the offense not the defense threads".

Lance Moore was a Practice Player

Maybe Henderson is hurt more than they are telling. Remember he was pretty much knocked out cold in the Skins game.

Yep.. And they both were on their own teams practice squads before they made the line up. They were not pulled from other teams practice squads...
They were projects for their own team.

Also, Neither were linemen... different animal.

Also.. Had Loomis found this talent I might have a different opinion.

For defense I would look toward the Packers over the Falcons, we have had good luck with players from Green Bay.
