Vonta Leach a Saint?

[gbpackfan]

I was listening to TT's presser when he stated "I don't know if you guys have heard, but Vonta will back in Lambeau on Sunday."

I am assuming that the Saints claimed Vonta and have been rewarded him. I can't find "proof" of this anywhere though. Anyone heard anything?

On Fox 11 they said he was picked up by the Saints.

great

we let a guy go thats knows all our plays, and maybe some of our game plan, and he runs off and joins the team we play this week

how odd

Your thoughts match mine exactly. just how bad does NO want revenge for that obscene spanking last year?

When I saw the title of this thread I thought the Pope had nominated him or something.

I think the pickup had something to do with NO losing both fullbacks to injury last week...

I said this on another thread, but if KRob doesn't play this weekend, this was stupid, IMO.

What does Vonta Leach know about the west coast system that the Saints' defensive coordinator doesn't know?

Does anyone think MM really did any team-specific game planning for the Saints before Leach was cut?

If they kept a 2004 playbook around, they would probably know our plays anyway, since McCarthy was the OC there.

I really think that you guys are making too big of a deal out of Leach getting cut. It's one thing if you liked the way he played, which VERY FEW PEOPLE DID. But to be worried that he is going to share all of our secrets? Come on! Any informed fan can watch the Packers' games on TiVo and figure out what the audibles are. In fact, by looking at the coverage you can sometimes figure it out. Audibles change and the Packers know that Leach is over there right now. You don't think they will change their audibles? A lot of the audbiles don't even change the play, they just yell them out to try and trick the opposing D. Players get released all the time and feed info. to their new teams all the time. Vonta Leach and his little black book of secrets won't be the difference in the game Sunday!

Leach being released is nothing short of inexplicable.

They're carrying 4 TE's, only one of whom is a decent blocker. Reports are that Martin has begun working as more of an H-back, and will likely serve as a lead blocker for Green, but Martin isn't anywhere near the calibur of blocker that Leach is.

Leach was the Packers best lead blocker - he's gone, and the Packers are going to go thru the whole season with Tory Humphrey inactive on game day???

TT is well on his way to running himself out of town... I can't begin to fathom what he's thinking. The Packers are now one of the two or three worst teams in the league, and given that TT has worked diligently to run our best players out of town (Wahle and Walker), I can only conclude that his goal is to run this team right into the ground. On that score, he succeeding fabulously!!

There's just one thing to remember if you're wondering why TT cut him. Leach can't catch. Not in the preseason, how many catches did he have on Sunday? Maybe TT just wants someone who can catch out of the backfield on the short out.

To piggy back off my other post, it is crazy how many people miss Leach now that he is gone. After the preseason game, and during, SO MANY OF YOU WANTED HIM CUT! Where are you now? I am convinced that most posters just want to rip TT no matter what moves he makes. Pathetic!

I think those arguing to cut Leach were also figuring Beach would be kept as well as the Crapper.

This is puzzling; I think my explanation still makes sense. TT's playing for the future and didn't see Leach as a long term solution so he just cut bait regardless of how it will effect us short term.

Or maybe he wanted a fullback he could send on a passing route.
