Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Note to Players, don't complain about being benched

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

That bring an end to the 2012 draft?

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

lol

damn, my attachments blow.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

This TE any good? Would imagine not if the Patriots are letting him go.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Thank God! Hicks needed to go. He may have a lot of talent but for whatever reason we weren't gonna get it out of him.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Not with the scrub coach's we have. He should shine in New England, they have a real DC and coaching staff.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Can we just call him Michael?

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Yeah New England suits him better, they'll bring that potential out of him

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Bingo. I believe Hicks has a lot of untapped potential, but we weren't going to get it out of him. Good trade in my opinion. This TE is a decent pass catcher and that's what we need.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

I don't like this trade.

Hicks although inconsistent - Had shown above average ability.

Our new TE has accomplished what?

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Like they did when we traded Jonathan Sullivan to them?

Maybe he just isn't all that good. Tarzan/Jane?

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Hicks has never shown above average ability. He makes like one splash play a season and makes everyone believe he's on the verge of breaking out only to go MIA again.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Hoo mana Who da hell Dat?

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

This may not be the final piece of this puzzle.

Perhaps Bunkley is ready to return?

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

This guy can not be any worse than the ones we have. Hicks was a FA next year anyway. Not like we were going to resign him.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

He was a JAG (just a guy), and we addressed a weakness that may help us this year.

There was a reason his ass was benched Sunday. My guess is that we have guys who are better players than Hicks.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

I hope we trade John Jenkins too and then resign Bunkley.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

This is right. A decision was going to have to be made on Hicks. This shifts the onus to the Patriots. Who knows, we may decide to pick him up as a free agent next year at a fraction of what he would have demanded in a new contract.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Your new TE, that's who. Learn to say it.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Jenkins hasn't played that badly. He had a below par game vs Tampa but graded well against Zona and Carolina.

Jenkins is OK. He's not a stud but he's not a bad guy to have in the rotation either.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Yes he has man.

A DT turned DE turned DT turned DE again... ?

I'm sure all this has nothing to do with coaches

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Championship!

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

$hit man, Jenkins did just as well in coverage vs Carolina as Browner did.

He's our newest CB!

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Really liking this move. This stuff use to go down in the off season. Hey, it does not work that way on this team. Run your mouth, play under your potential get out. I want to win but would rather lose every game than have players like that around. I assume there was a lot more going on here. Not anymore. See ya.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

New England really knows how to get the best out of cast aways. He will probably go on to have a pro bowl year.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

I don't mind trading Hicks, but I would much rather it had been for a pick(s). Hoogieboogie has been in the same boat in New England. They've tried giving him a bigger role and with the exception of a splash play or two he's been very underwhelming.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

hicks hasnt done **** in a long time. outside of the media talking about how he was on the verge of greatness.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

If he turns into the next Ninkovich? This will be interesting. SP and his TE fetish!

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Hoomanawanui has never caught more than 13 passes in a season in his 5 year career.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Considering he had two TE's known as Gronk and The Serial Killer ahead of him, that's not surprising.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

I love this trade..... Hicks was gone after this season anyway ppl... atleast we are getting something for him.... Could also light a fire under some ppls butts and make them feel no one is safe... I like it

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

I only care that he seems high all the time.



If he brings the wacky weed to NO I can catch up on some GTA and forget about football.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

More importantly, with Hicks being gone I suppose this means Richardson has become our new starting DE in the base defense. Well done young man!

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Upgrade.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Between Bobby Richardson and Tyeler Davison we might have some real potential to get this D-Line headed in the right direction.

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

With a hard-to-pronounce last name, his college teammates simply referred to him as "Uh-oh."

Re: Saints trade Akiem Hicks for Patriots Michael Hoomanawanui
 

Davidson was my 5th round pick, Richardson came out of nowhere, I do like these 2.
