You want to talk about the Saints' front office really doing a great job of selling a player to the fans, just take a look at James Allen.

IMO, it will be a BAD BAD mistake depending on James Allen this upcoming season.

I don't care what his measurements are. I don't care how fast he is. I don't care how much potential some fans tells me he has. I do not feel good with Allen manning the SLB position.

Give me a proven SLB in free-agency!!

I don\'t feel that great about Allen either. I\'d love to get a proven SLB. Just as soon as we get a proven MLB that is... :P

Hartwell?

why dont you just title every post, hey look at me, im going to say something not that thought out

James Allen
 

What is ur thoughts on this, or did you come to this thread to criticize? I want Hartwell that is where i stand!

Clever sarcasm is lost so often on the uninformed.

I caught it, danno, if that makes you feel better. ;)

James Allen
 

me too danno ;)

Adding a backfiring ironic reply to a post?!?--BRILLIANT!

James Allen
 

You mean that you started two threads that are identical other than the name of the LB in question and start with something another poster said as a joke? :o

James Allen
 

Both just as legitimate, too.

James Allen
 

Tru dat.

Most of us caught the joke (s), but since we\'re talking about him, anyone got a real opinion on Allen?

He\'s got good size at 6\'2, 245 lbs., but his stats from last season are nothing to write home about. He appeared in 16 games, posting only 49 total stops (33 tackles, 16 assists) with no sacks or interceptions. He did force 2 fumbles, though.

Color me uninspired. Maybe the opening post is not quite as sarcastic as intended!!!

James Allen
 

Stats really aren\'t that important for a SLB. They are the guys who take on the blockers and thus allow the other linebackers to tackle the ball carrier.

I\'m intriged by all of our linebackers. Hard to say about any of them. I\'d feel better if we upgraded the MLB or WLB. I ain\'t real hard to please... ;)

He\'s restricted and the suitors outside our team won\'t be many. I like Allen\'s ST\'s ability, that is what he was originally drafted for.

Looking for the Saints to re-sign Allen, and Bring in someone who can battle for the position.
Likely it will be a rookie and Allen will start week one
