I loved what I saw but I have to control my enthusiasm a little... The Bears were a complete disgrace last night and quit very early in the game. The real test will come next week against the Failclowns. With that being said, I think we know one thing for sure: Pierre Warren is too talented to be on the bench next season. I know Byrd will be back but this kid is a natural who needs to be on the field.

Pierre looked too talented in preseason, yet he did not make the final roster as he should have. What happened there?

If Payton and Loomis really want to "fix" things, they'd better re-examine how they didn't select for even the practice squad a player who so obviously flashed in pre-season that he was a favorite. A big miss. Underscored by a future need to sign him off the Vikes' PS....and then START him.

Didn't the vikes sign him off our practice squad?

Don't think so. It appears we cut him from our PS and Vikes signed him in Oct. It was a surprise.

November article above says: "Pierre Warren

An undrafted free agent out of Jacksonville State (which he left after his junior year), Warren was a standout in training camp. So it was a mild surprise when the Saints cut him from the practice squad.

The Minnesota Vikings added him to their squad in October, and he worked there until he was signed to the active roster by the Saints this week.

Warren is familiar with the defense and showed a knack for making plays in camp. While it's hard to imagine him playing a lot on Monday night, the Saints have so few options that it's possible."
