Schulters and Ruff (1 Viewer)

[Bri]

Ruff signed with Cleveland, Schulters with Miami. Any thoughts?

Schulters = starter at FSRuff = depth behind Ben TaylorAlso, Ronald McKinnon quietly signed with the Saints yesterday. He's a handful of seasons past his prime, but he's also landed on the team with arguably the worst LB corp in the NFL. McKinnon may have an outside chance of seeing the field as a MLB (assuming Watson is moved to WLB).

I expect Shulters will start. If he's healthy, he should. Tillman is a career backup.

re:mckinnonsaints LBers played well together toward the end the season. They struggled thru the learning part, why not reap the rewards?

Don't get me wrong...the chance of McKinnon starting in NO is remote. However, he could sneak onto the field if the Saints brass/coaches desire added leadership on Sundays. Keep in mind...the current LB starters for NO are all aged 25 or younger. Heck, I think it's safe to assume McKinnon has started more games than ALL of the 1st and 2nd-string LB's on the Saints' entire roster COMBINED.

Take the Vikes for example...

They picked-up Sam Cowart for peanuts. As of today, he's the starting MLB over their '03 2nd-round pick (Henderson). Cowart will help be the "field commander" for the other youngsters (D Thomas, Harris, R Smith). Is Cowart more gifted than Henderson?? No. Is Cowart a better fit for the '05 Vikings' D?? Probably.

I exist. Got him as my last LB. Even if he loses the job my investment is so low that I can let him sit there or cut him without much sleep lost.
