They help bring the Saints a Super Bowl victory.

If Tatupu’s talent is still there then he really would/ could help the linebacker core , and the defense overall.

( I still think Williams sandbag some game’s with weak easy to key tendencies. ) but that’s so 39seconds ago.

Before I go I would like to welcome Steve Spag’s to NEW ORLEANS.

If he was on the juice, Bill probably knew it, which explains why they never sniffed.

I wondered too during that draft.

I just don’t see that division getting too much better soon.

The NFC West is getting pretty damn strong right now. I can easily see in a year or two not having any teams with a losing record.
_____________________________

I’m a 9ers fan and I think the NFC West is getting better, but let’s not get crazy. Seattle has dumped almost all of their draft picks from the previous regime, so I wouldn’t call that “drafting really well”. They are getting more out of their free agents than expected and cutting dead weight faster than most teams, that’s why they look promising. And the Rams are, well, the Rams. they’re pinning their hopes on an oft injured QB with an OL that is borderline pathetic. Ariz is a Manning away from being good again, otherwise they’re looking at 8-8 as a good season for the next few years (until they draft a good QB).

Then again, who isn’t shocked by some of Belichick’s actions?

Sometimes all it takes is a change in surrounding and a player’s mentality can be renewed.

CORRECT..

But with the attention from the league office and the classes that come with a player getting a DUI would pospone the roid usage… HENSE the huge decline and NO ONE even kicking the tires on MR. Tatupu… (unless u play Madden)

Do you know how many crappy linebackers there are in the NFL?????

The dui was a mistake he owned up to. the guy is all class i wish him well.

Lol. Suffice to say, Madden is not a good judge of skill/talent. I used to roll with the Raiders team when they had Chaz Schilens as a number 1 and JaMarcus Russell throwing. Would beat the pants off people online.

That never happens…

Everyone forgets that even the Rams… their season fell apart due to injuries and if they make a few really good moves and don’t blow the thing up they’re not that far away.

Some good low-key drafting going on over in Seattle.

And I’m a Jets fan so there’s 0 bias there.
