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

Goodwin is a short term fix but his experience and coaching up of Lelito could prove to be the difference in a closely contested playoff game against 49ers or Seahawks. If he gives Drew a extra 0.5 to one second and a additional yard or two in the pocket it could be all the difference.

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

Love the thought of competition, and even the security of having a vet like Goodwin available. Lelito will need to work that much harder.

Negative is that now we have even less money for Graham

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

Lelito need to be taught the position, Glad to see Jon is back.

Worse case scenario, he & Champ Bailey smell up the locker room with Icy Hot, give interviews from the hot tub/ice baths and help coach up the youngsters on the roster ... you got big, bad N-drama-kong & Nick Fairley on the road Wk #7 (1pm EDT, Fox), you're gonna' be glad Goodwin's on your team, bet. :).

I want the best center playing for all 16 games plus the 3 playoff wins. The Whiners fan comments were about a guy that didn't fit their system...oddly, he STARTED 3 years for a team that went to a Super Bowl & 3 NFC Championship games in 3 years. They're just whining to be whining.

The best case scenario is that Goodwin is the same or better than he was 3 years ago in our offense, but Lelito and Armstrong both beat him out in preseason and we can trade Goodwin for a 4th/5th rounder...means we'd be set a center for a good long while with either young'un and an additional 2015 mid round pick.

In the real world, I can honestly see Goodwin going all the way to the final cut only to not make the 53 and Lelito starting with Armstrong on the PS. Unless Armstrong gets hurt...from what I've seen and read on him, he has the Chronic Injury Fairy following him around like rancid stank. It would not shock me if he hit the IR before final cuts. Would love to see him healthy throughout, obviously...lot of untapped potential there.
