Saints special teams coordinator Bradford Banta and assistant special teams coach Kevin O'Dea were both at practice Wednesday, so it appears Westhoff is simply an addition to the staff already in place.

From what I heard yesterday, this guy has been highly sought out after retiring a few years back. He apparently has turned down several opportunities, which, to me, is a very good sign. It 1. confirms what we already know, and that's the Saints are all in to win this year & 2. Westhoff must see this as a legit opportunity at a ring.

I like this move a lot.
