How 'bout the Saints snagging up every free agent RB left. I'm sure that way they would be able to account for a power back, a slasher, a short yardage back, a third down back, back that can catch the ball out of the backfield, a back that can pick up the blitz, a lead blocker, and a back that's good for their locker room.

I know the Saints have 6 or 7 backs under contract now but they could use some depth.

I agree.Nothing wrong with a stable of backs to choose from. This is where their needs are. If edge can't do anything, he can pass block and pick up the blitz. Maybe even rub off in a positive way .

Just because someone doesn't agree with you are you going to take your toys and go home? Good!

Bitch, don't even start because I don't have time to bury you.

Short and sweet...it would be RETARDED to bring in EJ or any other over-the-hill or underachieving back. What the Saints have under contract is more than capable of handling anything any turdnugget floating around on the waiver wire can handle.

If you can't handle a little rib poking then maybe you should stroll over to saintsreport.com. I hear the posters over there use coasters and only fart in the bathroom.

You are quickly becoming very annoying and unliked.

etardedRe is absolutely a stupid response. Are you 12?

Seriously, if you want to come on this board and present your arguement for why we shouldn't sign Edge then fine. Do so, which you have.

Don't come on here calling everyone retarded for posting ANYTHING. Opinions are what they are and this board is full of plenty of them. Just bcs others don't share the same view as you means that you should respond with "etardedRe". Jesus man.

I think you're the one who can't handle any back lashing.

I'm getting called out for calling someone "retarded"? In this place? Have you read the posts in this place. I know you're familiar with threads that contain Chad's posts.

Besides, I let him know I's just ribbin him.

I think you need to come down off your high horse, NS.

This whole direction is retarded!!!

Dude, You are the one that needs to chill. From your first day on this board you have been "ribbin" people on here. And as NS stated, it is getting beyond annoying. You called ALA retarded twice for giving his OPINION and he is a pretty solid poster here. Just chill out a little.

Okay, that was funny.

Back to the subject, I guess I don't have as much faith in our backfield as you all do sans Reggie and PT. IMO, Edge isn't quite ready to hit the senior tour yet. However, I do understand that we don't want to bring in a whiney player into a locker room that has no issues at all with team chemistry.

Its a tough call, it's not like Madden where you pick up any free agent just because he is over a 90 in rating.

I think it will be a big mistake to go into 2009 with our current backfield. Maybe I'm wrong.

Back to the subject
I don't doubt that EJ has a little left in the tank. I just don't think he brings any more to the table than PT and Reggie.

Given Reggie is the weak link in the running game (as far as backs are concerned) he still gives you big play ability from time to time.

Based on what Thomas did when given the bulk of the carries last year he could've easily put up numbers of a top tier back. I know he's got a lot of critics banging on him for a couple third and shorts last year but (a he got met in the backfield on a couple of those and (b sometimes even the greats can't convert on third and short. I remember a Colts v Pats game where the Colts had 3rd and goal on the one yard line and the great Edgerin James was stuffed. They went for it on 4th down with the same results. Seems like the Pats stuffed LT on 3rd & 4th and goal a year or two ago as well.

I wish Edge well and hope he finds a home somewhere. I just don't think it's here...IMO.
