Sullivan improving?

Allow Baltimore to dangle hot-dogs from their facemasks and then see how he plays....
loser.....

He didn't really have a choice but to improve. He couldn't have gotten any worse.

Time will tell. Young's hurt for a week or two, so we'll find out. Sullivan came in at 320, is looking ok so far against second strings, seems to have a little more desire, so we'll finally see what this "two-first-round-picks-player" can do.

I hope for the best, but still fear the worst.

As I said in another post, I was at the Seahawks game and watched Sullivan the whole time he was in the game. He worked hard and fought through the blocks. He made some good plays. He did however take a few plays off. I think he's getting the message, play now or goodbye.

The team needs him to step up and contribute. He has the talent and tools to be a good lineman, but it's his desire and work ethic (or lack there of) that keeps him on the bench. It would even be nice to see the 2003 Sully play.

Thanks for the input JoeSam. I wasn't paying particular attention to him in that game, so that input is appreciated.

Even if he does manage to keep his job for next year, I'm sure he'll be asked to renegotiate his contract. We'll find out then just how much this kid wants to play football.

I think i read he's did that in only 14 snaps, that's pretty good if true.

Haz said that I think Nate. He also said that he is improving and wants to see how he will be after 40-50 snaps. He said his confidence is up too. Let's hope this guy can do something to help this team.

It's a shame we had to wait the first two years for him to get a fire under his belly. But, we know he can play if he puts his mind to it. I'm looking forward to Baltimore and Miami just to see how he does.

Well, you can't blame anyone for the "cut sully posts" BoB. They guy has done less than nothing since his rookie year. He has made a bad name for himself. He's been benched and caught eating hotdogs in the friggin press box. He's come into camp overweight and without a desire to play until this year. I think EVERYONE is hoping and has been hoping that Sully comes around. Everyone has been disapointed with what we gave up for the guy and what he has given the Saints in return (nothing). He's got tons of upside and potential and I really hope this is the year he actually bring it to the field. We sure could use a guy with his ability to play on the D line.
