Howard has been very effective; he's got to work on his passing game (e.g. pass protection, receiving damage out of the backfield); but as a RB, he's got near elite talent...

Nagy was an idiot in Chicago, Bears Defense and Running Game would get them up by 14+, and then Nagy would go with Tarik Cohen and 3 and out offense second half...

Howard just has to be shown that if he puts in the work, he'd be a great complementary if not 1-2 combination, and the Saints locker room may just be what Doc ordered...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Jordan Howard is the only FA RB that makes any sense at this point...

If he can't block then we can't use him.

True, but is it a case of attitude or lacking skills...

No need to sign one unless, or until, you need one. It's appearing that Kamara will not be facing suspension at the beginning of the season, if at all this season. Signing a veteran now would guarantee their salary for the entire season, if they were on the roster beginning the season. Signing one after week one allows the Saints to only commit week to week cap hits.

We should know in the next week or two as TC begins in earnest.

Kwon OTOH could be nice depth.

It's not just Sean Payton and Drew Brees that draws players to the Saints anymore.
