Saints hosted free agent FB Erik Lorig

tendering Collins would have been insane- he would have tripled his salary, and we can't pay $2 mill for a FB

Good.

I am not a fan of Collins and thought we could do better at the FB position.

6 of one, half dozen of the other.

Lorig's taller, that's about the only difference. Oh, and he's cheaper.

The word is he's a better receiver out of the backfield than Jed.

I still like Austin Johnson, but we need to see more obviously.

This season cheaper is a huge plus, we don't need a blocking full back, we need one with hands like a Woodhead.

Yea but if we are going to try and run a more power run game along with bigger receivers like a lot of people are thinking wouldn't we want more of a blocking FB? We already have Pierre who can catch. Not saying a cheaper option isn't needed.

Go back and watch 2013. We ran better with out a lead blocker/FB.
