Saints Sign RB Zach Zenner

I remember when Julius Jones came in as running back, when we temporarily lost both Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush for a time in 2010.

The Saints would do this hilarious thing, where they'd be in the huddle, and Drew would give the offense the play. And then they'd clap hands and break the huddle; then Drew would cup his hand to Julius's helmet earhole, and tell him a second time in plain English what the play was, he'd point on the field to where Julius was supposed to line up, show him where to get into his stance, etc. I wonder if Teddy can handle that same responsibility, if Zach needs any playing time, LOL. It was transparently obvious what Drew was doing, so funny to watch. But not fun, when we got into the playoffs and didn't have any running backs, if you know what I mean.

Zenner is super intelligent. Believe he went to medical school. He's also a strong RB if not for the injuries. It's a great pick up considering the circumstances. Likely won't need him but if we do better to have someone with a strong IQ who can pick up things fast.

In the playoff where he had 2 scores and we couldn't stop the one-legged 40 year old QB? And they were 7-9 and still hosted? Bad memories
