On the D side of the ball we will see a huge improvement with much of the same people in a 3-4 scheme...I think the only real issue we have right now is finding a LT..whether free agency or trying to risk it in the draft

The Saints have faired much better staying away from high/mid dollar FAs.
I would even say signing those kinds of players says you don't have a lot of faith in your staff. We almost made the playoffs, we had a shot even with the worst defense the NFL has seen in a long time. We'll be fine.

We stockpiled a lot of young talent last year by stashing many on IR
We restructured a lot of players in order to upgrade elsewhere
We're still looking at CB/OT/LB.

Its also only the 3rd week of free agency. The leverage is now swinging away from free agents and toward teams. Good role players will come a lot cheaper over the next few months.

Yes but we haven't signed any names worth ESPN giving us the front cover... LOL

That is what really matters.

ive presented this same argument...but keenen lewis was a good pick up hopefully. Anything else from here on out is lagniappe. But brees contract is going to be the elephant in the room for the next few years.

The Falcons have reloaded with some dangerous additions to a team that was already 13 -3

The Bucs are retooling after a near miss on the post season

Cams got some help after a near miss on the post season

What are we waiting for ? Charles Woodson , James Harrison , Nnamdi , somebody !!!

We can't just keep turning our smug noses up at players were getting smoked on free agency even worse in our own division which was hard enough to win ...

If nothing comes of free agency We better be grabbing some dynamic players like Tyrann or someone that can tackle

Can I ask a question? Have any games been lost because others decided to retool. I'll quote our reinstated coach " I know it's hard when your in the lunch line and you see someone walking past with the subway sandwich, and you got carrots"

Checked the cap figures lately? Mickey Loomis is trying to retool this d fense, and upgrade our OL, especially the LT position literally with pennies, nickels and dimes.....and was still right there on Kruger, Nnamdi's still deciding, and Victor Butler will be back cause he has no where else to go. Patience is often underrated in situations like this, thank our lucky stars that the people the Bensons put in leadership have it in spades...... #who dat!!!!

Are we making an effort to address our needs is all I'm concerned about. Anyone can be a paper champ.

Rugby Saint II · 03-28-2013, 01:23 PM

We are bringing in the players that will help this team.......unfortunately we can't force them to choose New Orleans.
Butler just signed a two year contract.
Feel better?
