Saints Sign John Kasay, Release/Waive Alex Brown and Others

PrintThe Saints have officially announced the signing of veteran kicker John Kasay, formerly of the Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile, in addition to DeAndre McDaniel and Jarred Fayson, who were released earlier today, the Saints have released/waived the following players:
DE - Alex Brown
CB - Mark Parsons
WR - John Chiles
G - Roger Allen
LB - Ezra Butler
T - Dan Gay
FB - Kolby Hurt
C - Ryan Taylor
RB - Chris Taylor
Brown is probably the most surprising since he's been the starting defensive end for the team, though he hasn't really performed well since being signed by the team last year.
With a total of 11 players released and one player signed, that should mean the Saints are right at 80 players, where they need to be.

Anybody else think they are waiting to see if they need to place anybody on the IR?

PUP list rules
Is Hartley eligible for the PUP list? I don’t remember the rules exactly – does a player have to be on the PUP list throughout training camp/preseason to be eligible for the regular season PUP list?
If Hartley is eligible, I bet that’s where they’re heading – wait until the last minute to see if he’ll be ready to go for game 1. If so, release Kasay right before the regular season starts and if he’s not ready, pup list Hartley and revisit the situation six weeks later.
If Hartley can’t go on the PUP list, I think they might put him on IR if they expect him to miss a significant number of games.
Once you practice you are PUP list ineligible

I started coughing as soon as I opened the door. I’ve seen similar in HB from California wildfires, but this is much worse. There’s something really funky in the smoke, like chemicals burning or something.
Smoke just got to Baton Rouge
I wasn’t expecting it to be this bad and HB is right, it has a really strange smell to it.

Brown is a shock!
Brown has started each of the preseason games and practicing with the 1st team offense. I guess this means that Cam Jordan is ready? Hope so, but really liked having Brown as a back up not knowing what will happen with the impending 4 game suspension for Will Smith. Jeff Charleston may get a helluva lot of play time.
He also kinda sucked

With the release of Alex Brown, look for Cam Jordan to get the 1st crack at the #Saints’ starting LDE spot. He’s been playing well recently.You wouldn’t know it by the comments around here, Jeff.

With regards to Hartley, how does a 25 year old kicker hurt himself while kicking an extra point when he’s not even touched? Is he just out of shape?
With all due respect for the ‘09 Playoffs, it’s always something with this guy. He’s more trouble than he’s worth.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I heard Bobby Hebert on the radio today, saying that if it’s a certain type of hip injury, then Hartley will be out 6 to 8 weeks. If this is true, I think we will have to put Hartley on IR, cause I don’t think the Saints can afford the roster spot. Especially if they are going to carry 2 fullbacks, 4 to 5 running backs, and Arrington, Morgan, and/or Roby. My guess is Arrington won’t make the cut this year, Morgan will go to practice squad, and Ivory will start out on PUP.

I reposted this below from a less current thread - was wondering what everyone thinks re our pass rush
Am I misguided in my thinking? When I look around the NFL and evaluate each team’s top pass rusher, it seems like we are way way down the list in the comparison. We have no one of the caliber of Dwight Freeny or Jon Abraham or Julius Pepper, Justin Tuck, Brian Orakpo, Charles Johnson, Jared Allen etc. I guess I am mostly pointing the finger at Will Smith, but I don’t even see him on a par with Trent Cole and on that team they (Eagles) have Jason Babin working as a tandem that I think are both better and the Giants have the tandem including Osi Umeniyora that are both better pass rushers than Smith or anyone we have. Am I underappreciating Smith? I am not even going from a # of sacks point of view either- it just seems we have pass rushers who have a tough time putting consistent pressure on a qb, they have no real great moves, and they don’t scare anyone. It’s hard to have a great pass rush without at least one great pass rusher.

Interesting… one of those teams has a top CB, the rest have pedestrian CB’s.
None of those teams has a top FS.
"It ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and KEEP MOVING FORWARD. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky
would you trade MJ for Osi or Allen?

BTW, we coulda had Ray Edwards. Just saying.
"It ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and KEEP MOVING FORWARD. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky
Yes, I think you're underappreciating Will Smith.
When you compare defensive players (or any player for that matter) you have to look at the defensive scheme, the player’s responsibility within that scheme, and also the players surrounding him. All these things factor into a player’s individual statistics.
Ask yourself, What would Will Smith’s numbers look like if he were playing opposite a bona fide pass rushing stud? How would that affect the Saints defensive scheme? How would that affect the blocking scheme of the opposing team’s offensive line? Would Will Smith have more opportunities to make plays and thus add to his individual numbers? (Which would contribute to a more favorable perception of him being held by fans and media)
As to his not being on par with Trent Cole, Cole is a two-time Pro Bowler and Smith once. The reason I bring that up is that in 2009 Cole was chosen over Smith for the Pro-Bowl even though Will Smith had slightly better individual numbers. Cole made the Pro-Bowl on his reputation (as is the case with many Pro Bowl selections) and the long-time reputation of the Eagles defense.
Smith had more Sacks 13 to 12.5, Interceptions 1 to 0, and Forced Fumbles 3 to 2, while Cole had more Tackles 49 to 37. If Will Smith had not been “slighted” in the 2009 voting, he would be a two-time Pro Bowler and Cole would have one.
I’m not saying Will Smith is on par with guys like Freeney or Peppers, but players like Cole are not superior to him.
I've got two words for ya.....Whit Bissell
I think Smith had 2 good years and he is a major disappointment IMO.
Sacks aside, he doesn’t get pressure often. His moves seem pedestrian. I feel like he as good speed but not great speed and good power but not gret power. I once thought he was good against the run, now I think he’s mediocre against the run. I hope your perspective is right and mine is wrong. I actually didn’t think he played that well in 2009. It seems like he got some sacks when the games were out of hand or lopsided. I recall people like Hargrove, Charleston and McCray getting the important pressure and hits on QBs. Perhaps I am being too critical on him though. He needs to have a good year this year though. Regardless of who the other pass rushers are. Again, I hope your perspective is the more acuurate one.
If Pro is the opposite of Con, what is the opposite of Progress? Congress!
-Men's Restroom - House of Representatives, Washington, DC
I agree with what you are saying.
I think our 2 CBs are very good. Not Reevis or Nandi level, but very high up the ladder. Close to those guys. Not pedestrian. Our safeties are very good- maybe 2 of the best and it seems great safeties are so hard to come by. Nonetheless, it does seem good pass rushers are easier to come by and we have kinda dropped the ball there getting quality DEs. My opinion could change if Cam Jordan becomesa beast of a pass rusher, but I am not expecting that.

Also...
don’t expect much from a rookie.
Some of the guys you mentioned had DROY-type seasons – Allen, Peppers, & Freeny.
Some did not Osi, Abraham, Tuck had two bad seasons, Charles Johnson had three bad seasons, even Cole had two bad seasons.
Orakpo’s a LB who had a good season rushing from the far outside, like DeMarcus Ware.

Just so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle...
→ Cam is a rookie. Most rookies suck, even the ones who become great.
Rookies are not for right now, they are for the future.
Another example…
Arguably the best Free Safety in the league Troy Polamalu had a sucky first year. (I said “arguably”, not that I would argue it.)
Two more to top it off…
Arguably the best WR ever Jerry Rice had a sucky rookie season.
And the all time leader in rushing yards, Emmitt Smith had a pedestrian rookie season.

Suh is a once in a decade player.
If he continues playing like his is capable (and doesn’t get hurt) he could rival Warren Sapp for best DT ever.
So, yeah… every once in a while there are nuggets flecks of gold in those pounds and pounds of dirt.
For every great rookie you can name, I can name search Google and find 100 that sucked their first year, and at least 50 that sucked their whole career.

Sapp doesn’t even crack my Top 5 DTs.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
He barely cracks my top 25. I would have to list them all out just to make sure he even makes it.
Not a dig at your opinion, Dan. Your welcome to it. But, Sapp is just one of those guy that……..@#$%&!!!!
I've got two words for ya.....Whit Bissell
He’d probably make my Top 10, but it would be close. No one effs with Mean Joe, imo.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
I can understand a Top 10 ranking for Sapp when you consider that his entire playing career was during the most advanced and most hyped media age in the history of human kind.
He’s definitely MORE FAMOUS than guys that I would put ahead of him on my list.
I've got two words for ya.....Whit Bissell
I think it’s at least arguable that Richard Seymour has had a better overall career than Sapp within the same era.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
I wouldn’t compare the two because Seymour has played the majority of his career at DE.
I've got two words for ya.....Whit Bissell
Point taken. I still think he’s had a better overall career and was a better DT during the time in which he’s played that position.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
I can’t disagree but I have to refrain from comparing the two because of my @#$% feelings toward Sapp as a player and the fact that Richard Seymour is one of my all-time favorite Defensive Lineman regardless of Tackle or End.
He was a very strong and quietly effective player whose greatest value was in his taking up space and double teams which allowed other players on that Patriot defense to make plays.
Plus, he had a knack for making big plays himself when the game was on the line.
Love that guy.
I've got two words for ya.....Whit Bissell
What about Sapp vs Wilfork? Sapp vs Haynesworth, both in their primes?
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
If we’re talking prime years as opposed to overall career I have to give Sapp the edge. He was actually a hell of a player for about 4 seasons but it was all before the Bucs went to the Super Bowl.
Plus, that’s a difficult comparison because Wilfork and Haynesworth had different responsibilities. They were/are run stuffers. Sapp was a pass rushing DT who got his ass kicked in the run game.
I've got two words for ya.....Whit Bissell
Plus, that’s a difficult comparison because Wilfork and Haynesworth had different responsibilities.
It’s not THAT difficult. Many people have put together lists of top all-time DTs, regardless of scheme.

Your question to me about these players was specifically about comparing their primes. Not their place in all-time history.

“best ever” requires a view of their whole career.
And, just to indulge you… Sapp in his prime, destroys either of those two.
Also, it’s hard to compare a 3-4 NT to two 4-3 DT’s.

Not necessarily. I can easily compare Earl Campbell to Bo Jackson without taking tenure into account.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Well, you can because you’re a super genious who does math with imaginary numbers in his head.
And, I’m not talking about taking the length of his career into account, just the entire career.
Many players have one great year. What makes you one of the greatest ever is being great year in and year out.

What makes you one of the greatest ever is being great year in and year out.
Not necessarily. It depends on how you define “best ever”. I personally define it as “the best at their peak”. If their “peak” happens to be one game and there’s no reason to believe that one game was a fluke, so be it.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Hmm…. So if someone had one season where he was completely dominant at his position, and, compared to his predicessors (by that one year) he was better than them… he could or should be considered “best XX ever”…
Example:
Best QB Ever = Tom Brady
Best WR Ever = Randy Moss
Best RB Ever = LaDainian Tomlinson
And so on.
Is that how you see it?

“Body of work” has nothing to do with “in their primes”. Haynesworth was the most dominant DT in the league for at least two years, maybe three.

That would be his two best years. You are correct.

Jim Wilks had the same function with the Saints defense during the Phillips and Mora years. He was a DE most of his career but when he moved to NT for two years (91 & 92) the Saints had their best defense in history.
The Saints had tried a few guys at NT during the Dome Patrol era but it wasn’t until Wilks anchored the middle that they had their two greatest seasons on defense.

Seymour is a defensive end.

He has taken some snaps at DT. I’ll give you that without even looking it up to see if you’re telling the truth.
Because, it doesn’t matter.
If he plays one position for 80-90% of the snaps, that’s his position.
Just because Darren McFadden lines up at QB a few times (and did so many times in college) does NOT make him a QB.

And yes….Joe Greene was a bad mutha—, shut yo mouth, I’m just talkin’ bout Mean Joe.
I put him right there with Buck Buchanan

Buchanan’s definitely in my Top 5. I’d say Lilly, Olsen and Page round it out. Randy White has to be up there, also.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Randy White was DEFINITELY a great player but some of his reputation (not all) was due to his being a Cowboy and the guys he played with on that line.
By comparison, Bob Lilly earned his rep at DT for the Cowboys before any of that “America’s Team” nonsense.
I've got two words for ya.....Whit Bissell
I'm glad you mentioned Page
A lot of people seem to forget his name when discussing top DTs of all time. I know it shouldn’t affect my opinion of his football greatness, but the fact that he went on to become a state Supreme Court justice bumps him up even more in my book.
that was kind of my point
Most rookies don’t have all-pro seasons, but a handful do. And for the record, I think Suh is a once in a generation player – like Reggie White excellence. (Go ahead and put me on list – Suh is going to the Hall of Fame.)
I don’t honestly expect Jordan to do that, but we can always hope he does. With Brown getting cut, Jordan should have the opportunity to do it.
