Re: Kenyon Coleman
 

Depth signing. Dude only has 13.5 sacks in 13 yrs playing.

Re: Kenyon Coleman
 

Yeah he's old. Has ties to Ryan, got his name written all over it.

Re: Kenyon Coleman
 

Hes a Ryan guy. I know nothing about him but a quick search shows he was under Ryan with Dallas and the Browns. Camp body or depth. Meanwhile the Falcons are lighting it up.

Re: Kenyon Coleman
 

Gotta have depth. Good signing.

Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys.

Coleman, 34, appeared in seven games (five starts) last season, recording 15 tackles and a forced fumble. He knows Rob Ryan's scheme and should add depth behind Cam Jordan and Akiem Hicks at defensive end. The Saints may also move Hicks to nose tackle. Coleman graded out very positively as a run stopper in Pro Football Focus' 2012 ratings. He's an early-down role player.

Helps Ryan teach the scheme to our guys depth always good. Probably got him on a one year deal

Re: Kenyon Coleman
 

Bingo!

You woke me up for this? ;)

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

Good job.now we need a YAC(yards after catch) player on offense besides Sproles and we got a shot for real.WHO DAT

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

Like Graham or Morgan? WR/TE has to be arguably the last thing that the Saints are worried about right now.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

lol wut?

Re: Kenyon Coleman
 

If you're scared?

Buy a dog!

Falcons are garbage and always will be.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

I think Brian is referring to the fact that we need some competition at the outside WR position to push and back up a relatively green Morgan. I agree that it's a need, albeit not a terribly pressing one.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

We are one of the worst YAC teams in the league... Which makes Tavon Austin such an appealing player.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

NO thanks. The only thing appealing to me regarding Austin is that a team may want to throw a bunch of picks at the Saints to move up to get him.

The Saints get more yardage than most NFL teams and have for years now. They didn't need YAC to make that happen.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

True that. I forgot how terrible we were after the catch last season.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

No kidding! We are the Greatest Show on Turf seeing as how we broke that total offensive yardage record by the Rams.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

It's certainly not an area of need, but it would be nice to have someone that can create in space and/or turn a 5 yard catch into a 30 yard gain.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

That is such an incredibly dumb statement. Total yardage doesn't even come close to telling the entire story about an offense's efficiency. The fact of the matter is, due to our lack of speed and "elusiveness" at WR, we rely far to much on Brees to create big plays, which is one of the main reasons that his INT numbers fluctuate wildly. A playmaker that can get YAC and create big plays after Drew gets him the ball would take some of the pressure off of him. This is exactly why he was so enamored with the idea of getting Sproles a couple years ago.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

What's "incredibly dumb" is attacking my opinion on the Saints needs. There's no need to be a jerk.

The Saints have some players that have the ability to be the next "wow" guy. Morgan, Cadet, and Hakim to name a few. I'd rather see the Saints find out what these guys can do and focus on much bigger needs than use the only pick that they have in the first two rounds on a WR.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

We also don't have to rely on our receivers and Graham to make bone crushing catches down field all the time. While our offense is great, there's always room for improvement... Which in turn will keep it that way.

This isn't me saying we need to target Austin in the first or anything, I've already said I'm against it before, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to add some more explosiveness to our offense.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

I agree with all that you said after this.

Not cool.

IceShack is far from dumb.

He does live in one of the dullest places that I have ever lived.

Ice, are the Badger Den and the Silver Spur still open?

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

Could be similar to a Willie Whitehead type signing.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

I wouldn't be upset if the Saints landed another Sproles-type player in FA or through the draft (after round 3.) I just want to see a quality player on defense. I haven't seen one of those in a while. I doubt that's Coleman but we all understand what his signing brings to the Saints. Playbook knowledge.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

I can live with that for sure.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

YES IF COLEMAN DID SIGN IT'S A DEPTH SIGNING TO HELP OUT WITH THE TRAINING CAMP! Sounds like Coleman wants to be a coach!

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

I would be very happy if this proved to be true.

Dullest!? You must be a city guy.

I don't know about the Badger Den. I think it's still up and running. The Spur has turned into one of those shady payday-advance-loan places. There's a bunch of broken down vehicles in the parking lot with dollar amounts taped on the inside of the windshields.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

Why do you do the caps thing?

Its seriously annoying.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

makes selecting a late round DE pick in the draft more of a luxury. beside smith needs some one his own age to talk to on the side lines

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

Get the feeling of a slow clap and rightfully so. I do like that he knows the system but not sure how much weight that carries, he won't make a big impact either way at his age. If it aids in preventing huge mistakes then ok. All we need is something that is maybe 15-20% better than the last batch and we should get in the playoffs.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

Depth. Hey still has to make the team.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

34 DE make some splash but holding the line and defending the run is first and for most

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

Yep, we need players for short yardage goal line and 1st down packages.

This guy is freaking MEAT!

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

Poor choice of words. Smallest places would have been better.

I did enjoy Anchorage more overall.

AK is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.

But Lord have mercy, Fairbanks and Delta Junction were freaking cold. I actually feared for my life a number of times.

My former in-laws live in Kenai. Gorgeous!

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

I sent him a PM telling him it was annoying...............I don't guess he read it. He's still hollering at everybody.

Re: Kenyon Coleman
 

You can call them garbage all you want but the fact remains they lead this division and will do so until we prove otherwise.

Re: Kenyon Coleman
 

Lead the divison because we had a lost season... It'll be ours again this year.

Re: Saints signed DE Kenyon Coleman, formerly of the Cowboys
 

bulking up the line on the cheap I like it
