DSharp?
Darren says he feels good and is ready to play this year. Do you think he will be in 2009 form or should he hang up the cleats and pick up a microphone?
and will he have a significant impact if he does play?

Re suggestions for a title to this series:
for burning questions or answerering the issues of the day, I suggest,
“What Up with Dat?”
"Dang! The Saints won the Super Bowl!" - my wife, Meso "Happy" Hu Dat.
Barring any other suggestions...
I think this is our winner. It’s funny and it’s a direct reference to one of my more favorite recent SNL segments.

LBs
Do you think that the FO will go out and try to get another LB in free agency? I can see GW content with Casillas, Vilma, Martez, and Shanle if they all sign, but I think he could do amazing things with just a little more talent there.

My honest question is:
Do you think the Lockout will be lifted? If so and when?
That's interesting. You know what makes me sad? YOU DO!!! Maybe we should chug on over to mambypandyland...or maybe we can find some self confidence for you YA JACKWAGON!!!!!!
(tears) Tissue?.....Crybaby.
The answer is Yes...
The real question is what year it will be lifted in.

Is there any talk of an SBN/CSC app? I’ve got a droid, but either droid or iphone…the mobile site is just so slow and seems like an app could do it justice.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

Dave, since Usama already switched from CB to FS and fared pretty good in last training camp at his new position, would you consider it unfair if the Saints decide to try him out as a SS so we’d finally have one who can cover, catch the d**n ball and tackle properly?

Yes but...
What is ironic is the NFL stipulated that New Orleans had to agree to build a dome before they would award the City a franchise. And that was because they were worried about the Fans getting wet and the games being played in Monsoons. Afraid the fields would get to sloppy I guess. Can you say Soldier Field.

Old school toy that had a playing field with little miniature football players on it. You’d turn it on and the field would vibrate and the players would subsequent shake and move in various directions poorly simulating a play.
Guys loved it….women did too…but for different reasons and only when the guys were no longer around to observe.

If you could trade Reggie Bush for any one player in the NFL, regardless of position or salary, who would it be?
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
Reggie Bush for Patrick Willis.
What? It’s a fantasy.

"I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...Rapture!"
As tempting as a LB might be, I think I’d have to go with Ryan Clady.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
Youth isn’t everything…i’ll take the better player over the minor age difference.
"Winter is coming"
If the gap was considerable, I agree. I consider their difference in talent to be minor. Jake Long, also. All three have their pros and cons. Thomas would likely be the most receptive to playing for the Saints, being that Cleveland is a less desirable place to be than New Orleans.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
darelle revis or that CB from the Raiders. can't remember his name
I’d love to see TP and JG fighting it out in camp for the #2 spot. Having good corners is a staple in a D like the one GW likes to have. We have good corners but not great, lockdown corners.

age old question
if you could have 5 saints players or coaches around for dinner (3 current – 2 former) who would you choose and why? (coaches added for the benefit of a certain CSC member)
appreciate the inclusion of coaches.
My 5:
SP, Joe Horn, Brees, Vilma and Fujita
can I also include coldpizza? The curiosity is killing me.

I have sat down and eaten crawfish with many of the players, and can tell you that my favorite player is Mike Mckenzie. Any function he is at, the man has a huge smile and makes a point of speaking to everyone in the crowd. Most other players just show up cus Coach tells them to. As much as I love Deuce on the field he always hides in the corner. Drew Brees also impressed me. The first time I met him this little guy walks up and ordered a water shook my hand and introduced himself. I thought to myself if this is our new QB, we are screwed. Boy, was I wrong.

pizza, have you ever been to a Saints crawfish boil at the VFW?
"My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them."-Winston Churchill
Behind the Jiffy Lube on vets. Every year after the Draft the Saints hold a crawfish boil there. Only season ticket holders are invited. If you attended one you would have noticed that DEUUUUUUUUUCE puts himself in a corner anytime fans are around.

No, I’m usually at the BWW in Slidell for the draft, save this past one, which I got the chance to attend live in NYC.

What kind of beverage do you consume during the draft? Obviously not beer. Hold up let me guess hmmmm Dr. Pepper seems to fit you well.

given the publicly stated admiration SP and ML have for the “new england” model, do you foresee the saints trading aging players for draft picks in the next few seasons? if yes, most likely candidates for trade and the draft value you think the player would currently achieve assuming a willing (but not anxious) “buyer” (ie al davis not involved in the trade).

Over all, I’d say there is a lot of positions where our starters are fairly young. Therefore, I can easily see Saints trading players in there 5th or 6th year.

Depending on what the restricted/free-agent rules wind up being, they usually try to tender at the lowest or highest rate that gets them the best available pick for their players providing someone tries to take them away. Whew, did I really get all that in one sentence?
