Did anyone else notice the missing pink elephant in the article?
How can we even be having a discussion about free agency without discussing the linebacker position. Same old Saints. It\'s sad man. Really sad. SFIAH |

Notice that the article said that the Saints \"plan to be aggressive\" in FA this year? Shocker. Let\'s recap shall we?
2002 & 2003 - we \"rebuilt\" the defense, with such stars as Dale Carter, Orlando Ruff, Tebucky Jones, Ashley Ambrose, and Jonathan Sullivan 2004 - the plan was what? Don\'t change a thing. We\'ve got the players, they just need to finally \"gell\". 2005 - Nevermind all that, we\'re going to be aggressive! Kind of reminiscent of the good old days. 2000 - lead league in sacks. 2001 - ship off Glover, Johnson, and move Clemons from OLB to MLB. Go big at DT with the lunch bunch... b/c hey, leading the league in sacks was a problem. 2002 - we\'re too slow, we need speed on defense. 2003 - we need a DT to stuff the run in the middle, let\'s trade every draft pick we have to move up and sign Gravy Jackson\'s younger and less mature long-lost brother. |

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articl...24/ai_60498928 danno, i think hodge will walk. i will be surprised if any veteran lb of any substance is added now. they are going with allen-watson-bock and \"supplement\" them with a draft pick or two imo. i\'m really sad about them backing off at ot miller. he reminds me way too much of gandy- maybe one decent year left, then start declining more than likely. prisco had a great free agent rankings really reducing the \"name\" factor and adjusting for age as well. guess what LBs were #5 and #7 overall? pierce and hartwell. there was some great deduction of this on threads here in the past few weeks. on his list OTs go like this: #22 oliver ross, #25 jonas jennings, #27 kareem mackenzie, #29 stockar mcdougle, #35 vicor riley (with the comment- In 2003, he had an outstanding year. Then he tailed off last season. He is capable of bouncing back.), and then miller listed after him at #42- he\'s still a solid right tackle. Age (32) is starting to be a concern. prisco article- http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/8242633/1 |

On a happier note, we locked in a bunch of valuable special teamers: Houser (stud), Carney (fading, but good), Berger (first rate), M. Lewis (we\'ll need a beer truck driver when our Waterboy takes over for AB). In all seriousness, I really believe that these are key re-signings. One the other hand, WE F**KING NEED ANOTHER LINEBACKER! Do it. |
