this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I liked Jed but this is a better and cheaper option that is also more versatile...

Re: Saints Agree To Terms With Erik Lorig
I don't know much about this guy. I hope he's an upgrade because I really thought and hoped we were going to re-sign Jed.

Re: Saints Agree To Terms With Erik Lorig
Love the sign. younger, bigger, better and more upside. Great run blocker...looks like we're gonna be pounding the rock a bit more.

Re: Saints Agree To Terms With Erik Lorig
Better blocker, and can play the 3rd TE spot.
I hear he has a great burst, and flat destroys people in his way. Someone posted a video showing his athleticism, and he absolutely destroyed us in a few of those clips. I'll try and find... He's #41. |

Re: Saints Agree To Terms With Erik Lorig
The more I see of this guy, he reminds me a LOT of David Thomas.

Re: Saints Agree To Terms With Erik Lorig
Let this be a warning shot ... SP has made it apparent we are running the Ball in this model of the New Orleans Offense. He signed a FB before a WR ! This guy was directly responsible for Tampas ability to run the ball with or Wothout Martin.
I challenge anyone to review game film of Jed Collins run blocking for Ingram Robinson Sproles or anyone else whose been in our backfield , more often than not he either completely missed his blocking assignment , got destroyed and blown back into the play or flat out got in the way of the designed hole instead of clearing it. We will see Brees throw much less , which is a win win. Due to the fact it will extend his career , and well have a much more rested defense. And the defense will be out there a lot less ! Which translates into less opportunities for teams to score on us. I mean the benefits go on and on ... We will lead the league in rushing this year and have a top 2 or 3 defense. Oh and this will definitely open things up for Stills and Graham , you can either cover them or stop the run , there's no all the above answer , interesting to see SP go back to the basics |
You Can't Say Impossible without first saying Im Possible ...

Re: Saints Agree To Terms With Erik Lorig
The guy seems like a good fit. I just hope the 4-year contract is a cheap one.
