Dunta Robinson was released because he was trash in zone coverage, Chris Owens was the #5 corner on our roster played more special teams than anything(you could replace him) and Brent Grimes played a total of 3 quarters last season. We still have time to sign another veteran corner or another end or we could even draft a corner or end with our 1st and 2nd round picks.

Michael Turner and Steven Jackson both came out of the same draft class and Turner had thousands of less miles on him that Jackson does since Turner was primarily a back up his 1st 3 seasons. Jackson is a wash at best and certainly not an upgrade at the position. Both were in decline. Osi is no upgrade to Abraham. Osi is a terrible run defense end and his pass rush was non-existent even playing on a better line. The best thing to happen to Atlanta this offseason was Gonzalez returning.

I don't know that he has a season to wait out. If he wants the chance at a ring, (What else is left for him?) taking a season off will make him a pretty cold commodity. Look at him right now, he's only talking with contenders that use a scheme that will allow him to shine. Between them, it's a chance to compete for a position or a starting slot. If I hadn't learned long ago about gambling, I'd put a twenty spot down that you'll soon be seeing him eating late lunches on Bourbon Street.

You guys are hilarious, I really find it hard to engage in all the hate because I respect the NO organization as a whole but to each its own. I prefer to talk about what has happened lately and as of lately Matt and Smith have led us to the NFC Championship, were a few steps away from being right where we want to be.

you are right...lately, the SAINTS got screwed by goodell...they took our coach, and 2 second rounders from us...in an off year for us the falcons were able to beat out the high power buccaneers and the dominating panthers to earn a #1 seed...they won a game against a surprising but inexperienced(and injured) seatle team...then they lost to SF...congrats...BUT..........WE ARE BACK!!!!

Hey, I was being intelligent and serious about Smith. The only thing that broke his perfect playoff record was he ran into a guy who was a worse coach than he is on that day. Carroll will learn about passing up short field goals in the first half. Smith is never going to learn about how to make half time adjustments. I know you're all starry eyed about that first playoff victory, but Smith and Matty Brown Spot were a bit more than a few steps away from beating San Fran. That's all good though. Sit back this year and we'll show you how it's done.

BTW, hope you have a good sense of humor, it's fun to have someone around to talk a little smack with.
