Why not move Lynell Hamilton to the injured reserve?
It would have freed up the roster spot. Anybody know how much his salary is? I can’t imagine it being so high that we can’t afford to hold on to him.

because he has to clear waivers at this time of year, rules
"Why do you even ponder passing? I mean, you can take a knee and try a 56 yard field goal! This is not Detroit man, this is the Superbowl!" -- Paul Allen's call after Tracy Porter intercepted Brett Favre in NFCCG
That shouldn't be hard at all
Who’s going to claim an injured 3rd-team running back with a history of knee problems?
It was worth the wait.
Williams said he doesn't trust Robinson yet
I can’t blame him. I think that he didn’t look too impressive
Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!
seems like the don't trust Hamilton to heal
Sean Payton and the players need to focus on the upcoming season and defending the title but I don’t.
I wonder
if it’s how the Front Office views 3rd running backs in general; basically, that they are expendable and not very difficult to replace. BTW, I’m speculating.

Opps, guess I cut myself off.
… that they are expendable and not very hard to relpace. Just speculating.

IMHO
We (you, me & future Pulitzer Prize winner Detillier) should neither gloat nor concede. Good old Harry has another chance to prove whether or not he is worthy of being a Saint. Maybe he’ll capitalize on that chance, maybe he won’t. I hope he makes it, but obviously we’ll just have to wait & see.

True
With the move of shanle to Sam, they might have another spot on the Will, which is Coleman’s position (other than ST and a long, long shot safety).

question - with Morstead injured...
did anyone notice who was the placeholder on Hartley’s FG Thursday night?
Sean Payton and the players need to focus on the upcoming season and defending the title but I don’t.
I'm pretty sure Daniel was the holder
Unless my eyes are worse than I thought.
