1st player in the NFL to return a blocked extra point attempt for 2 points.

I did not see that ever happening.

This is random. But maybe he deserves a second look now that we actually have a stable defensive system.

Did we have Nolan when he was here?

LB whisperer

Better hands than Jared Cook

Sounds like a ST/lower end of the depth chart signing. He is pretty athletic so it might be all right.

Anthony saw most of his time on special teams while with the Dolphins. Current Saints special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi held the same job in Miami while Anthony was with the team

So that pieces together the puzzle of the reunion:

1) Elliss was injured Sunday. He played on ST.
2) Anthony was ST in Miami for current Saints ST coordinator.
3) Anthony plays ST and maybe tries again to learn how to play LB.

Got it.

Well he has one of the best linebackers coaches there is to learn from

Probably help with special teams...or send him in on some blitz packages. He had the talent but never grasped the mental part...too bad because he balled his first season simply on talent alone.

SA rarely saw special teams action in Miami. Don't hold your breath here.

I would have much preferred Nate Stupar when he was available.

Nolan did work with him in the off season while SA was still with NO, however he was still traded.

We whiffed pretty bad on that pick. I still started him on my Madden team until we traded him.

The fact that he’s been around and is willing to play special teams in spite of his draft status impresses me. Wish him the best.

I always liked Stupe. He was a badass. Wish we still had him.

112 tackles | 1 sack | 2 FF | 1 FR | 1 INT

Stephone Anthony in his rookie season. It looks good, but he didn’t grade out well at all. I’m thinking it was probably because of poor coverage. He’s got elite speed and athleticism at the position to run sideline to sideline and make tackles. Put him in on rushing down with Demario Davis and let them wreak havoc. Better yet, blitz him and Davis on passing downs. The speed up the middle would be ridiculous. He can be useful.

I do remember he was excellent as a blitzer

If the Saints ever need Anthony to slide in and play alongside Demario Davis ... we're screwed. It's always been the mental part of the game that Stephone can't handle.

Special teams
signing for depth and that is where it ends.

I think we should utilize that speed in specialized roles where he doesn’t have to think. Put him in and blitz him. Let him use that athleticism and get him off the field. People do it with offense all the time and with situational pass rusher. He can be a situational blitzer and he’s not too bad at stuffing the run.

Honestly, if the Saints are bringing back former LB's I'd rather see Kikaha return. He showed flashes of brilliance but injuries always took him out.

He was too slow. Injuries made him even slower.

From the "FOR WHAT IT"S WORTH DEPT." A few years ago EGGSPURTS were YOLKING all over themselves about Akeem Ayers and Mason Foster

Current status of both: OUT OF FOOTBALL

I'll go back to the old standby ...

The front office knows far, far, far more than any of us knows about these things.

That's another good point that may be way to logical... :doh:
