a PR/KR also has to be able to do other things to maintain a spot on the roster, he has been great but I see signs of him dropping off. Cutting him leaves a spot open for a WR to develop and also PR/KR.

You know, people didn't seem to mind when the Saints cut another old special teams ace two years ago either. His name was Fred McAfee. The team resigned him mid-year b/c special teams coverage units had gotten so bad. M. Lewis is the best return man on the team, and maybe the best (at least top 3) coverage guy the team has. I'll take him over Az "I Fumble More Than Sullivan Eats" Hakim anyday.

I think if someone gets cut, it will be Gardner. He is the only one bringing nothing to the table (unless he has a good training camp, which probably won't happen). Everyone else in some way brings a piece:
Horn and Stallworth-no need Lewis-returns, leadership, work ethic Poole-hands, aggressiveness, experience Devery-speed, potential, contract Gardner-7th round pick that can't catch the ball and isn't that great on special teams Maybe I'm missing Gardner's upside. Pounce if I am. |

Lewis was ranked 5th last year in KR for the NFC and 11th for NFL. 4th in punt returns in NFL, 3rd in NFC. He may not take it to the house as much but our stating field posistion and yards he does gain are great. Check out the stats for yourself.

Az Hakim signs with the Saints
Az Hakim signs with the Saints
Az-Zahir Hakim has finally found a place to call home (for the time being). After flipfloping on a decision to sign with the Chiefs, the veteran receiver has agreed to terms with the New Orleans Saints. Hakim was a rising star with the St. Louis Cardinals before spending a few disappointing and injury riddled seasons with the Detroit Lions. The specifics of the deal should become available later today, but one thing is for certain; it will only be a one year contract. Az Hakim must prove himself before a team will consider signing him to a longterm deal. The New Orleans Saints may prove to be nothing more than a transitional team for Hakim. They already have a Pro Bowl veteran in Joe Horn as well as two speedy and talented youngsters in Donte Stallworth and Devery Henderson. They have been actively looking for a veteren wideout to play the slot position until one of those youngsters matures enough to play that role. http://www.realfootball365.com/nfl/a...eans200605.php |
