If you were here, I'd slap you upside the head with my copy of "The Saga of the Saints" by Wayne Mack. All I did was offer a honest assessment of where I think our troubles lie entering training camp. The Bucs? For that matter, anyone but the Saints? :angryfire:angryfire

I wish we would've signed Leftwich over Burnell though but I'm very excited for the upcoming season still got a lil hope out for Shockeybecause I really think Brees and Shockey would be deadly.

Struggling New Orleans Saints receiver Robert Meachem impresses in offseason
Gannet News Services • June 26, 2008

Meachem, healthy now after being inactive for all 16 games of his rookie season because of a knee injury that bothered him throughout training camp, appears ready to make a strong run at becoming the third wide receiver this fall.

After receiving praise from Saints coach Sean Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis and quarterback Drew Brees for his attitude and work ethic in the spring, Meachem will at least go into training camp with much more confidence than last season.

In addition to Henderson and Moore, Meachem will also battle seventh-round draft pick Adrian Arrington for a roster spot. Arrington, who was projected to be drafted much higher than he was, also turned some heads during the team's minicamps and organized team activities.

I knew he would come out and impress.

The NFL network showed a stroy about him last season getting pointers from the top WR of our opponets before every game. He has the ethic and potential to be very beneficial to the team next year.

Yeah I remember that during the season and when Steve Smith and him were working out and formed a close relationship.

Rumors are still flying about the Saints signing Shaun Alexander and possibly LaMont Jordan.

» Running back LaMont Jordan: Stuck in Oakland, Jordan and the Raiders are in a standoff. The Raiders do not want to pay Jordan the $4.7 million in base salary that he is scheduled to earn this season, and Jordan will not take any less to remain in Oakland. From now through camp, the Raiders will continue to try to field trade offers for Jordan –- and they might be able to draw interest from teams such as Detroit, New Orleans or Chicago. Those teams know that if they do not trade for Jordan, they might lose out on him if he opts to sign with another team. This is the biggest advantage the Raiders have, the threat that another team will swoop in and sign Jordan. But the overwhelming chances are that Jordan is finished in Oakland. The question is where he surfaces.
» Running back Shaun Alexander: Interest in Alexander has been low, surprising being that it was only two years ago in which the running back was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player. Alexander has been in contact with New Orleans and Cincinnati, but neither team has rushed to put together any type of deal. If and when a deal rolls in –- and there are no assurances one will -– it will be one for close to the veteran minimum, quite a fall for a running back who collected about $18 million the past two seasons from the Seahawks.

Saints are interested in Takeo Spikes and would be competition for Shanle eventhough IMO Takeo would start over him and help solidify our LB core some more.

Aren't there issues with Spikes though? Either injuries or off-field.

I hate to admit this but, Spikes was one of my favorite non-LSU players when he was at Auburn...dude was all over the place and he could bring it. I always thought he would be the next LT or Singletary when he got drafted, I was a little off I guess.
