I LOVE HOLLIS THOMAS! He’s my favorite saint! I would date him in a heartbeat!

SWEET! I figured this would happen. Maybe his return can help bolster the D-line and get more pressure on opposing QBs and thus take some of the pressure off of our mediocre DBs. Now if we can just get past this “Waterpill-gate” issue without any suspensions, I think a Saints team with some improvement and added consistency can make a decent playoff run. No matter what, they have to beat the Falcons this week or the season is probably over.

Go Saints!!!!

run stop

we have been pretty good on the run stop. Hollis is a run stopper.

Big Sed took his spot and I cant see him getting put to the side now that HT is back
Grant is on IR.

So.. who is our front 4?

McCray, Ellis, Thomas, Smith

With Thomas as the two-gap tackle, Ellis can move back to his more natural position as a true one-gap defensive tackle. This could be very good for getting pressure up the middle, which will help speed rushers like McCray to the outside. We might see a better pass rush.

The problem is depth: outside of McCray and Smith, we have no one—no one—except for Jeff “Who?” Charleston.

yup

thats how i saw it too.. and I bit worried about it. McCray is all zoom zoom. He goes in on passing downs for a reason. I expect teams to run to his side alot and … sadly… gain yardage.

glad he´s back but...

after reading that they will prob. need to sign a DE I checked out who was avail. and agree with many that state we need KGB who just got cut from GB
also while looking for avail. talent I checked out the DB´s avail.- there are quite a few REALLY GOOD! DB´s on the market, why can´t we get at least one to help shore up the backfield??? Would help the D alot!
