Actually I think safeties having Nos. in the 40s is pretty cool...Ronnie Lott wore No. 42, John Lynch wore No. 47, Kenny Easley wore No. 45

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

C'mon JP,

This is the "new" league and those were ole school baller numbers ;).

I always preferred safeties & corners wearing #'s in the "20's".

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

With the re signing of Cadet, we now have 6 RB's on the roster.

Weird.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Surprised at the Cadet signing eith Spiller,Murphy and Lasco all able to play the change of pace role and kick return.

I know Ingram and Spiller are injury probe but surprised

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Just to circle back to my earlier question about jersey number changes... Someone asked De'Vante Harris about that on Twitter and I got a kick out of his answer:

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

You know I started to wonder, with all this talk of how great the Dallas o-line is...

Why is Romo constantly writhing on the ground in agony?

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Because he doesn't know how to get rid of the ball, thinks he should have 6 secs to throw every play...

He also seems to be made of glass, so there's that too.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

MRI of Romo's collarbone revealed buildup of peanut brittle, sources say.

"Generally there's a strong layer of toughness that sheaths pro football players' bones," said Dallas orthopedic specialist. "But you can clearly see here, there's only a thin layer of chocolate surrounding what appears to be loosely clumped-together peanut brittle."
