Why not Delhomme?

saintz08 · 01-30-2003, 05:26 PM

Saints need :

Defensively

1 Corner - and one up and comer in reserve
2 Safeties - Bellamy is a iffy - Knight will option out
1 MLB - Clemmons is a joke
1 OLB - that if Allen is moved into the starting position
2 DT - The lunch bunch experiment is over

Offensively

2 Tackles - one wants out and one is iffy
1 Center - he optioned and might retire
1 Receiver and could be 2 if Horn trys to hold the team hostage

Back ups that might run are Whitehead , Delhomme and Cox . Off the top of my head .

That is 11 players on a 22 man starting team , not considering a nickelback .

50 % potential loses or cuts on the starting team .

I got two words for ya. Ray Rhodes. I think he\'d be great as the defensive co-ordinator. :casstet:

How about Jim Mora jr.

Rumor has it that San Francisco is going to look past him for the Head Coach spot .

I have a question. Actually, a request. When things are copied and pasted here that are entire articles or most of an article, etc, etc, can the poster please provide the link or at least give the author credit so we don\'t mistake it for original thoughts. I for one would appreciate it.

WhoDat....I could care less what other people think about what I post. If they agree good. If they don\'t their loss. I can\'t help it if they\'re wrong. I can only show\'em the train....I can\'t push\'em off the tracks.

I don\'t think Venturi\'s cut out to be a D Coordinator myself. Some stability, even in coaches, is needed tho.

HOLY CHRIST 08!! DO NOT DO THAT TO MY HEART! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON\'T MENTION J.M. JR!!! I think he\'s a horrible D Coordinator......reminds me of hot Old Milwaukee. What we need to do is petition S.F. to keep him. Hell, I\'ll start a fund if need be!!

OK 08, you\'re being the eternal pessimist that I usually am. Horn isn\'t going anywhere. He\'s a pro bowl receiver and one of the team\'s anchors. If Fontenot options out there are three offensive linemen already on the team that have and/or can play center. That\'s not a free agent signing. The middle of our line is solid. Turley will probably need to be replaced... Riley isn\'t going anywhere, he may not be great, but they\'re not going to upgrade there. So on offense, you\'re talking about one free agent starter and maybe one new starter who is already on the team. Sure you may have a new back up QB and back up running back, but hopefully they won\'t really affect the season. A third receiver might, but that is NOT a make or break for this offense, which should only be better next year.

Defensively, I\'m pretty confident, for whatever that is worth, that you will not see two new DTs or safeties. Jackson played well in the second half of the year and if he can shed some weight he is a quality starting DT. Mel Mitchell will start, which is a new addition to the starting line up, but again, was with the team this past year. You probably will see a new corner and one or two new linebackers. Again, you\'re talking about maybe four or five new free agent starters at most... we had that this year on offense and it worked pretty well, didn\'t it?

Alright , lets start the bus fare for Cincinatti fund in honor of Jim Mora jr.

Is that alright Billyh ???

saintz08 · 01-30-2003, 11:18 PM

Grady Jackson is a question mark . Weight issue and short contract make him questionable , the man almost hit 400 lbs.

Front line is a potential loss at positions , once again it is how it all plays out . Turley and Fontenot are friends if one goes the other might want out . Wally Williams looks like a cap casuality . Either Riley or Falou were short termed contracted , I cannot remember .

Bellamy gets toasted more then croutons , Knight optioned out of his contract .

Offensively , that was a push . Lost depth at runningback which ended up hurting the Saints but the tight end held up . The lineman are the ones that have to gel early or there is havoc .

Still think there are to many players coming in with an unproven coaching staff . Fontenot was the team captain that is a huge loss if he pulls out .

billyh1026 · 01-31-2003, 05:03 PM

08 don\'t you think it\'d be a better idea to keep l\'il mister Mora in Frisco so he can help their defense suck. Ya know...NFC and well, they are the 9er\'s...wish nutin but the worst for\'em.

WhoDat · 01-31-2003, 05:20 PM

c\'mon 08, do you really think that the changes coming in the off-season A) should cause this team to be less than .500 and/or B) WILL cause this team to be OUT of contention for the playoffs?

billyh1026 · 02-03-2003, 08:49 PM

Whatever it takes to keep JM Jr away from the Saints. Does anyone here think he\'s a good coach? Seriously? I think he bites.
