Saints Sign DE George Johnson

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; FWIW Muhammad was last activated vs the Packers (10/22). He had 3 snaps & no impact. If he's active vs the Jets, I'd like to see his production on special teams ....

You have to understand less than 5 snaps is to give him some game time experience not to see if he going to be a impact. No way any player can cause a impact with 3 snaps their rookie season. The kid need some game time experience, something to help you evaluate his talent. Maybe, they're trying to keep his value less in order to sign him to a longer contract, I don't know, but I'll love to stop speculating and see the guy on the field. He might just be a difference maker, and activating him could better help evaluate him.

I'm with you Nola. I've actually asked several times on this forum on "why isn't he active this week?". Apparently the positional coaches & staff see it from a different perspective than we do . All I know is that during t/c & subsequent pre season games, he performed better than the man in front of him ... even in mop up duty.

My guess is that he is activated either this week vs the Jets or Tampa.

I'm reading this and I'm thinking Jake Delhomme. Cut by Parcells among others. Couldn't crack the lineup here unless the guy in front of him was hurt. The coaches never saw 'it' during the week. Guy comes in and lights it up.

Some guys need to be on the field. It's just not an exact science.

I think of Ninkovich and Casillas. Seems like all of us saw potential and production, but the coaches didn't feel the same way. Then they went to other teams and shined.
