Defensive end George Johnson quickly rewarding Saints' confidence
 

Defensive end George Johnson heard plenty of doubt about his potential before the New Orleans Saints signed him earlier this month.

"Just a couple weeks ago I was sitting at home and teams told me I couldn't rush, I wasn't a good rusher anymore, I had lost a step," Johnson said. "But, thank God and thanks to the Saints for bringing me in and giving me another opportunity to actually show that I still can rush and still can play."

Speaking of 09 - who was the defensive lineman we picked up after being released for drug possession? Revived his career here under Gregg W... May have played for the Packers?

I've been thinking about this George Johnson guy. I know we've all been hoping we'd sign him. My point is that it's a very good sign that we can plug other team's leftovers in and they become weapons for our defense. The Pats do this a lot right? I also think the Saints corners are causing QBs to hold the ball a little longer. The word is out on Lattimore. QBs know they better locate him before they throw. Or else. Loving this huh? WhoDat!
