I dunno, I guess I just wanna shake it up. But oh well, lets the good times roll because right now, I'm moving in stereo . Its all I can do to keep from being labelled one of thosedangerous type.

No problems though, lets go Saints!

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

Was looking for more info on him, but can't find much. From what I could find, he was an ok return guy for a bit and had a season or two as a DB. Was hoping you had a reason for me to break out the confetti on this one.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

This is a good move I trust.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

Oh boy. Competition.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

He was a rather effective cornerback when he was with the Ravens. I remember enjoying watching him play. On the other hand, signing him would appear to contradict Rob Ryan's statement that this is one of the "most talented" secondaries he's ever worked with. I guess the more the merrier.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

But at some point, you have to wonder if you're retarding a player's growth and development...

Case in point, Martez Wilson; from the few opportunities he's had, he seems to be a talented player - but if he can't get on the field, what's the point...

Same with Mark Ingram, why make an investment of not only a first round pick, but additional pick to move back and get him?!?

Payton is the best in the business in game management, but I question the personnel strategy...

Is Carr an improvement from what we have on the team??? Then let these younger players, including Robinson, have more snaps to develop...

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

a DT that can return a punt or kick.

gotta love loomis.

awesome signee. just say no to teepro's

2dat. Shock the damn world, i telluwhut.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

you guys would suck as coaches.

they brought him in to help sproles with returns as well as depth on D.

try to keep up.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

Yeah looks like ST move

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

So, who was released?!?

Is someone going on Injured Reserve?!?

Is someone not named Charles Brown not Physically Up to Performing?!?

Are we 'redshirting' someone?!?

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

Looks like Butler's out. Dammit. Carr used to be a returner, but hasn't done that in a couple of years. As sucky as this makes me, I'm just not all over this one -especially now that we could use another player to fill Butler's spot.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

You would prefer we play players based on draft round/investment than performance in practice? Being picked in the first round does not guarantee you a seat at the table, it only gains you entry to the dining hall, you have to prove your self before you are allowed at the table.

I for one feel better about a coaching staff that puts the best preforming player of the week on the field come game day than the one getting the most compensation.

If players are not making the most of the plays that they are given on the field it is on them.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

he hasnt done much in his career

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

This dude was a pretty good player a couple of years ago. Seems like it's worth giving him a shot. Even if he can only be a good dime corner that's probably good insurance against Corey White continuing to suck or Pat Robinson not bouncing back to his 2011 form.

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

ok how many CB does drew need to practice against to make him happy?

i am sitting here waiting for the cut down days to come. man CB and S is loaded with players

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

You didn't read what I posted...

The coach made a statement about the talent level being great, then, the next day they signed a FA...

...what I take from that is the Coach was BSing and he's not satisfied with the talent we have a CB...

...the point I alluded to was if we do, indeed, have good talent - let them play, get the repetitions, so they can develop...

...obviously, if they suck, then I could see why we had to sign CBs...

...but don't brag about the talent level, then sign another CB - I just don't believe in signing more vets if the talent, albeit young, inexperienced, is already on the roster...

...now, in the case of Mark Ingram, you believed in him enough to make the draft pick(s) investment - and he's the type of back that needs rhythm, 15+ touches a game...

if he's not getting it done, move him and move on...

Re: Saints sign DB Chris Carr
 

Talent level and depth are a little different.
Look at our punting situation, excellent talent, no depth.
