Lewis, Lasco or Bighill?

And your media perception would be great, cause you're giving your players their "platform." Then again, the consequences would probably be catastrophic!

Not saying I condone mixing politics with football(I actually hate that) -- it just all depends on how bad you want your guys!

Yea. Prescott could walk to mid field, drop his pants, squat, and leave a steamy turd then wipe his ass with the American flag and Jerry would lick it clean if he thought he could get a SB out of it.

So you think a player will be OK with not signing an NFL contract at about $450,000 per year just for a chance to stay on the Saints practice squad, in addition to agreeing to do something underhanded?

I don't think anyone in their right mind would actually believe that or be OK with it.

I think we keep TL Lewis and Bighill. You can't let guys like that of your team. At this point I'd rather Bighill than Kikaha.

Kikaha has looked great so far.

Agreed. But that knee. Kind of an Ellerbe situation. If he stays healthy he will be great. Bighill doesn't have that issue to contend with.

Bighill stats vs Texans ...

5 unassisted tackles
1 tackle for a loss
Sack
QB hit

I think the point is that generally, once players are on a team's PS, they stand a better chance being activated with that team than another team signing them DIRECTLY to their 53 man roster during the season with zero familiarity with that team or their playbook. (the player technically could walk away from our PS with the risk of NOT being signed to another team's PS, when they'd be making good money in the meantime)

Secondly, in regards to pay, there's no rule that you have to pay a PS player less. A team can pay them whatever they want or whatever they think they're worth if they want to incentivize them to stick around.

Either way, of the 3, I'd probably have to keep Lewis, just due to his ability to score. But that's not an easy choice, I'd say they all make it!
