Saints signed Ginn and Klein on the first day of FA

Just think about it for a second. Contract details haven't come out yet, but this very first wave of  free agency is where bigger money is spent on the top players. The Aints actually signed both of these guys during this first wave. I honestly can't believe it.

Ginn is what he is, a speedster who can't catch the ball or do much else. Was damn solid with Cam as a deep threat but hasn't shown anything at all elsewhere outside of PR where he has declined over the years. Possible Brees can make him look good like in Carolina? Yeah for sure. But more likely he looks like his old Cardinals self. Wish he stayed because he fit here in his role, but not a huge loss and more importantly not a huge gain for the Aints at the likely cost they paid as a first wave FA.

And Klein was great here. Great depth LB and backup to Luke who played outstandingly in early '15 to help us get the 1 seed over the Cards with some of those early close wins without Luke. That being said, do you really want him as your starter? His coverage this year was among the worst by anyone in football, and he missed a lot of tackles (11.4% of them). By the end of the year he was third string Mike behind Mayo. If the Aints paid him starter money and expect to rely on him there, then they may be in for a surprise. Loved having him here but now he's the enemy. Is it all that surprising that McD didn't go after him? 

 

Of course contract details are important here but I anticipate they'll be pretty big. Folks here should stop the panick regarding these two. Because it looks like some more stupid deals by the Aints who seem to make them every single year in FA.

      I did get some coin in on the Knicks to win the whole thing at +3300 immediately after they won game two and before their odds made a huge shift so I'm not mad at this news. I don't expect them to win but I'll probably be able to cash for a good amount if they make the finals.

      Horn and T-Mac will get matched up a lot, but it won't be 100% of the time, nor should it be anything close to that. Yes, it would benefit T-Mac's ability to get better at beating the press, but it would also be a detriment both of them for them to be matched up too much more than 50% of their reps. Neither is likely to end up going up against similar players in games, not many teams have WRs the size of T-Mac and not many teams have CB's with the physicality of Horn.  Horn needs to work on covering smaller shiftier WRs as well, just as T-Mac needs plenty of reps against smaller CBs so he can work on using his frame to body them out of position.

      Tatum tore his Achilles it looks like. At least watching the injury that's what it seems to be. He's probably out all next year and Boston sucks and gets a lottery pick. :insert eye roll here:
