Erik "Bigfoot" Lorig is BACK

There's been a sighting in New Orleans!! No, it's not of the infamous, 8 foot manimal who's eluded camera-toting campers for decades. It's actually one of the most intriguing free agent "finds" of the Saints off-season - Erik Lorig.

Although he hasn't practiced since early training camp, I can't help but to be (as with Bigfoot) drawn to thinking about what he looks like up close. Does he speak? Can he understand commands? Is he here to hurt us?

I don't know! And one has to wonder; during all that time trapped in a training room - does he still have the ability to mesh with other humans?

Hopefully we'll see Sunday.

Didn't he practice the week before the Buccaneers game too?

We'll need another blocker for that nasty Detroit D line!

Might be great for the running game if both Lorig and Ingram could return...

Great news.

If I am being completely honest though, I'm not sure I would take Austin Johnson out of the starting lineup. I think he's been really great so far.

Exactly, we have the 6th best rushing game with Austin as our FB, why change that if it's working?

Don't forget, Lorig has the size to line up at TE. We'll need the help if he's up to blocking

We go 4 and 5 wide.

Why not go 4 and 5 backs?

Seriously. Why not?

It'd sure fool 'em...maybe...

There's still room to improve... they could have the #1 rushing offense.

Johnson has been good for the Saints, but the way Lorig opened up lanes for the Bucs' run game - I definitely want to see him do that for the Saints' RBs.
