Saints sign Running Back Velus Jones Jr.

[ShadowMan]

Not to worry about his fumbling ...Moore will get it fixed!

 

[Randy Jones]

After a few days of free agency I am reminded of a white elephant gift exchange. This is a game where amusing and impractical gifts are exchanged. The goal of a white elephant gift exchange is to entertain party-goers rather than to give or acquire a genuinely valuable or highly sought-after item.

I wouldn't say Reid, Johnson, or Young are amusing or impractical...

Vet min,..camp body/ show us you've changed

 

[Snakehead]

It's quite obvious some of y'all only look at stat sheets and headlines.

He had ZERO fumbles in college across 62 games and 6 seasons, though he only played 5 seasons and redshirtted his freshman season at USC.

His fumbles came bunched together at PR in 2022 when he had 3. It was like a cade of the yips.

No fumbles in 2023.

1 in 2024.

He's a weapon, who can play KR, RB and WR with unteachable speed.

Here's Baldy breaking him down as a RB

Note I said after after a few days. 2:3 were our own guys.

Someone’s junk is another’s treasure. Like a flea market.

and he's built like a running back.

Qb and rb not addressed in fa, could one of these be our pick at 9?

 

[Randy Jones]

My wife goes out to flea markets and buys stuff. I ask her why she bought the stuff. She says it was a good price. I tell her we already had one or more of those things. Is what she bought better than what we had? Free agency is like buying second hand stuff.

WR, Edge, OG, LB...

WR, OG, & Edge are bigger needs than QB or RB.

We have too many hole to be filled through FA but there are still options in FA at OG, RB, & Edge.

This team probably got .3 better in FA. At this point, all Mickey is telling me is that they truly do think the '24 season was a fluke and are heavily banking on a new coaching staff to get more out of what they mostly have already. Even with Reid as an upgrade over Harris, you're mostly running this back with underperforming players on a defense that was mostly healthy last year.
