he is the type of player that seems to be in the right place at the right time more than once or twice in the season that can determine a game. he just has that kind knack. it a tebow type of thing. i just had to go there

Like you can jump. LOL

Hopefully his loss will be our gain. In any case, he has something to prove.

he's already better than shanle . i think he makes this team easy, his hustle will put him in the right place more then anything else going bad for him.

He dropped because in the year 2013, now, NFL scouts still haven't figured out the difference between workout speed, and game speed.

They also haven't figured out that speed is only part of being a good player.

Anyone remember a kid named Sedrick Hodge? Yeah, he was a LB from UNC who ran a 4.49. So the Saints drafted him... and he stunk. Production is what should matter, and to not draft this guy at all was pathetic on the part of all teams. I'm just glad we lucked out and got him as an UDFA.

Casillas ran 4.50 at combine with the low time of 4.42 - didn't exactly make him a game-changer for the Saints either.

If the 40 time is really the main reason why he went undrafted; I'm over the moon that the Saints were able to sign him as an UDFA.

Right now, before OTAs or minicamps have begun, I believe both Chase Thomas and Kevin Reddick will make the team.

Reddick is a better "athlete" in terms of measurables, and I think he will make it as a backup in the middle. Chase Thomas doesn't have anything much in the measurables department; but he just makes plays. I would be surprised if he didn't at least make the PS; he might make the 53 as an outside backer.

I'm stuck on Thomases right now as it's one of my names too. What was Zac Thomas' times in the 40, etc.?

I see the makings of a very important POLL here: "How many times will Chase Thomas be called Chase Daniel?" "Will there be any negative effect?" "Will he be forced to wear #10 ala LB Brad Van Pelt?

I think the success of the upcoming season depends on the outcome of this poll!!!!

I heard the NFL Network was going to do one of those rookie shows with this theme!!

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
