I believe that it's really just as simple as Williams is healthy and playing reasonably well while Lewis is unavailable. Payton has said as much when asked about the release.

As I've said, it's likely that the Saints did Lewis a favor. It's tough to catch on when you're a late cut.

SFIAH
As I said, he was never going to take a roster spot From PJ or Breaux, or any other top talent on this team. He doesn't have to compete with their roster spot, at this time. There are other players at different positions who are never going to make this team. I think Lewis has done enough when healthy to earn the right to try to get healthy, at least up until final cuts.

If he can't get healthy and get on the field this preseason for the Saints, then he wouldn't for anyone else, either. So with that in mind, I don't agree that they did him any favors.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Apologize, hell Keenan was a walking body cast. Graham hasn't been the same without Brees and never will be. They tried to replace Sproles with Spiller on the cheap. Harper was no where near him prime. Gallette was a walking rap sheet and isn't he on the IR this year or in jail. Jenkins is probably the only one I would say anything about, so all in all I think they did OK with the majority of these moves. I will never fault the organization for trying to make the team better it's when they do nothing when I will complain the loudest.

We did win a Superbowl with the people they want to apologize! So there you have it!

Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at them.

Re: Saints Owe Their Fans An Explanation for Questionable Moves

Ok i have managed oe paragraph yet and its already rubbish

Shouldn't have let lance Moore go.
As much as i loved watching the guy it was time to go as his failing everywhere have shown. His place was taken pretty much by Brandon Cooks and Willie Snead who are both youger,faster and biggest of all cheaper.

Sproles was a cost cutting exercise,Harper went again far over payed and Vacarro was expected to play better than he has at times. Malcolm Jenkins,yeah that looks a mistake but he never showed what he has for the Eagles in a Saints jersey.

Jimmy Graham was a masterstroke,the guys body is failing him,even before his latest injury. Money off the books and Anthony and Unger.

I don't like to be over critical of folks but concerning the author of this article - dude - stick to evaluating whether or not your grass is long enough to cut.
