The Saints SUCK! They got rid of tons of impact players and gained crap. They could have been good this year but Randy Mueller is a moron and made some of the worst moves ever.
What were those moves?
Ricky Williams- A great player but he fit into Ditkas offense, he doesn't fit into our offense. Barring injury we'll end up with a 1st and 2nd for him.....possibly two 1sts......not bad.
Jeff Blake- A solid player who can start for alot of teams. We are pretty happy with Aaron Brooks and Jake Delhomme. Delhomme will be a starter in this league one day.
Willie Jackson- I think we all wanted to keep Willie. But with the addition of Pathon and Stallworth. There was no way that was going to happen.
Willie Roaf- His best days are behind him.....I don't think he'll be around much longer with his injury problems. We were lucky to get a decent pick for him
Chris Naeole- not much to say here.....he was probably Dickas worst draft pick. Should've been taken in the 2nd round at the highest....never lived up to expectations.
La'roi Glover- Not as big a loss as some might think. He got alot of sacks when Norman Hand was drawing double and triple teams.....He's a great pass rusher....but he's terrible against the run.....Grady Jackson and Norman Hand will plug up the middle for us this year.
Joe Johnson- This was our biggest loss. We wanted to keep JJ....we drafted Charles Grant to replace him. We will probably lose some of our pass rush because of this loss.
Keith Mitchell- Had a great year in 00.....but his production dropped off last year. We let him go because our 2nd round pick from last year, Sedrick Hodge, will be a better player.
All in all, i don't think we lost as much as you say......Willie doesn't have much left.....Willie J was replaced by Pathon and Stallworth....We will lose some pass rush because we lost Glover and JJ. But our Run D will be much improved. Deuce is a better fit for our offense.
