A. Yes, Drew is 35, he's also the most protected player on the field. He doesn't have the wear and tear on his body that everyone else is going to have.

B. Yes, many o-linemen play into their late 30s, and most of them are shadows of their former selves. Remember Olin Kreutz? Wayne Gandy? Jamar Nesbit? Jerry Fontenot? Hell, Will Shields is a shoo-in Hall of Famer and he was terrible for about 3 years before he retired.

C. Yes they do suck, but that doesn't mean they're not right.

It is what it is. He's probably not good enough anymore to play 16 games, but if he had to step in for 3 or 4 it would be fine.

Insurance.

I think he'll be the starter too. He would be an upgrade over DLP IMO. Not sure about Lelito. Haven't seen him play the position.

either he will start or he will be a good backup plan. Good singing IMHO.

The coaches know what they are doing! They wouldn't have him back in the Saints team if they didn't think he was up to the job anymore!

Be assured, SP has some plans for him in some format or other!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Re: Saints expected to sign Jonathan Goodwin, sources say(DONE DEAL)

lets see an untested second (?) year player
an UDFA?

it makes sense to me. 35 is not young but a veteran that can play both center and guard seems to make sense. besides i never really thought he fit the niners power running game when he signed with them.

it may not be the answer but at least the saints are doing something after not doing anything in the past few drafts.

While I share your faith in the front office, nobody's perfect. We have draft busts and bad signings just like every other team. It wasn't all that long ago we all thought Olin Kreutz was the answer to replace our departed free agent at center.

The one thing I can take away from this signing is that Lelito and Goodwin are very similar players. We are clearly trying to get some beef in the middle after 3 years of going with a smallish guy in DLP. Whoever our starting center is, he's going to go about 320 pounds or so.
