Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
Hicks apparently has been outplayed by younger guys on the D-line and thus became expendable. We used that fact and went and got somebody that might help the team short term. Sounds like the right thing to do if you ask me.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
For his size and athletic ability, the guy under performed. Plus, being benched last Sunday, clearly the guy has an attitude problem. All of this in a contract year where guys normally go all out. Also, he's not a 4-3 DE.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
Makes no sense to me I would have much rather gotten a draft pick. He will be gone next year this was just another poor decision from the front office giving into what SP's and his offense wants. You got the worst defense going but hey let's make it worse I fully understand. These guys are insane

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
The crazy thing is, Hoo might be the best blocking tight end the Saints have had in my time watching the Saints (since the Jim Mora era). I don't think I'm forgetting anyone ...

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
The real winner in this trade is hicks.
The guy gets to go to a superbowl winner that is known for getting the best out of its players. I predict pro bowl for hicks next year. Another dumb move by our front office/payton. We should be getting rid of our coaches that cant coach potential if it were sitting next to them. All this for yet another blocking TE... yes folks he is a blocker. |

From a friend who is pats fan: Humanavamanui is a blocking TE, good hands but he is slow and creates no separation.
