Kidding aside, Ben Watson is the starter; Josh Hill will come in on 3rd down, passing packages...

When it comes to Running Backs, Wide Receivers, Tight Ends, there really are no starters for the Saints, and many teams for that matter - there are only...

SUB-PACKAGES...

Re: Saints sign tight end Alex Smith

Alex is a throw back to days gone by for a TE. Gotta block and do some some receiving.

If the WR corp turns out to be SO SO then this is a solid signing to let the saints use Watson a bit more. Watson is to Graham as Smith is to Watson. you may drop in receiving yards but it is an increase in blocking skills

i fully expect the saints to keep an eye on the waiver wire. we passed on TE and WR in draft so it only makes sense.

This is a pound the rock type of signing.

You may not know who Alex Smith is, but the personnel scouts do, and that's
what matters. They play on turf, not the red carpet.

A few years ago, I'd never heard of Pierre Thomas or Marques Colston, and
neither had you.

And surprise, he's doing pretty well in camp. I'll admit it surprised me.
