Sedrick Ellis in contact with Saints

CheramieIII · 04-14-2013, 08:24 AM

If the Saints are planning to fill the NT position with Hicks, Ellis, Bunkley and Johnson, they could have a heavy rotation that would work well. Hell those guys could do a down a piece and be hard charging everytime. Not a bad idea and I think that's exactly what coach is going to do. I told ya so!

I am no longer surprised by this community's desire to being back/defend players which consistently have not performed. Not sure if its blind loyalty or something else, but this D will never get to where it should be if we keep bring back washed up talent. Statistically Shanle had some great seasons, hell Jason David had some nice int numbers before we let him go, lets bring those guys back too.

Stop looking at what he is payed to come back and remember he'll be taking a roster spot away from a new prospect; a roster spot which he hasn't been worth since 2010.

Shanle was solid, not spectacular. David looked like an elephant on ice skates.

Ellis is far from washed up. And he's not taking up a roster spot until the final 53.

I don't see why it would if it's not guaranteed. We sign over 80 players prior to camp and only 53 makes the team.

It's easy for me to overreact and see anyone being brought in as already having made the team. As long as he's not a lock then what the hell? Tebow though? Still no.

I bet Sean could get really creative with Tebow and be successful. The Pats as well. Not saying we should sign him, but it would be interesting.

Even If Ellis were to pay back money he stole, and that would increase available cap spending money, I'm not sure I want to see him in the black and gold...

The same has been said about Will Smith over the years. He adds value, just like Ellis could.

Between the two, I'd take Smith hands down.

Just my opinion, but trying to pin last year's "performance" on just one thing or one person is a mistake. Last year had some 'perfect storm' qualities to it
