[quote]The GOP, after every election, or when news turns good for their opponents, abandons their talking points for pure politicization.

Wish this could happen. How about voting for a candidate based on their resume and platform rather than their party.

I'll remember him as a change of pace back with his best impact being special teams as a punt returner. He was a good goal line back to get to the corners of the end zone and jump across. He was horrible as an every down back because he couldn't run inside, and was ineffective at running outside bec...

I posted my opinion in another thread, but felt this to be appropriate:
I don't mind the safety pick, but the depth at safety in this draft seemed to trump using 15 for Vaccaro. I'm sure they did what they wanted or were able to do, but if it was possible they needed to trade down and could have ...

Unless they can nab one of the top two tackles, move down. Get some quality depth on defense and some mid-round O-linemen with more picks. I could care less if they drafted in the back half of the 1st... I see a lot of potential boom/busts in the first round this year, and would rather the Saints av...
