Saints try out cornerbacks Derek Cox and Brandon Ghee, o-lineman Eric Olsen, offensive guard Lemuel Jeanpierre and center Alex Parsons

Olsen was with the Steelers last year, IIRC. He was a pretty decent backup with us for a stretch. Still I'm surprised they want to bring somebody in, I thought Kelemete played pretty well preseason.

Cox must have really gone downhill fast to get cut from so many teams in just a year. He was pretty decent at one point I thought.

Nothing wrong with OL depth...Olsen is a solid backup but wouldn't think we'd want him starting for extended period of time.

Cox was just in the wrong system, I'm thinking.

Olsen is good, not sure about Cox though. Champ Bailey? Anyone? Bueller?

Champ Bailey has obviously lost a step or two. After the Saints cut him he tried out at the Lions and he wasn't even taken seriously. He may be at retirement threshold.

You're probably right. That's kind of sad, but he'll be a first-ballot hall of famer. I just wanted to see him get a ring.

If Ghee can stay healthy he's not a bad CB.

Olsen should know most stuff we do allready so that should be a solid pickup.

These corner tryouts; could it be a sign the end is near for Robinson?

could be interesting to watch over the next few weeks. White did kinda take over PRob's position by the end of the game and PRob was seeing the field on more special teams play.
