Saints cut John Kuhn, again
Saints cut John Kuhn, again
Posted by Michael David Smith on September 21, 2017, 2:28 PM EDT For the second time this month, the Saints have released fullback John Kuhn. The Saints cut Kuhn on September 3 and then re-signed him on September 6, and it’s possible they’re planning something similar this time around: New Orleans may not plan to use many offensive formations with a fullback on Sunday against the Panthers, making Kuhn expendable, but they could bring him back next week if they want to have a fullback on the roster. It’s also possible that some other team could sign Kuhn, although in today’s NFL there aren’t a lot of teams eager to add fullbacks. Cutting Kuhn frees up the roster spot that the Saints will use for the newly signed Kendall Langford. Saints cut John Kuhn, again – ProFootballTalk Not really sure what to think of this move. I thought Kuhn was an important part of establishing a power running game. And with Strief and Armstead out, I would think a fullback was more important than ever. |

Re: Saints cut John Kuhn, again
Don't like the move unless Hooman will play some fullback. We can't go entirely away from 2-1-2 personnel, especially since we are struggling in the red zone and we need to give Peat and Ramzyck help on the edge.
But hey what do I know, I'm trying to apply football logic to Payton's personnel moves. Silly me. |

Re: Saints cut John Kuhn, again
Looks like either way they go it's a risky proposition, a passing game without a "possession receiver" to compliment Thomas or a running game without both starting tackles and no real fullback.
