SAINTS:

 

#28 - Groce, DeJuan - 4 yr exp

                        2nd string LCB

#29 - Bullocks, Josh - 2 yr exp

                        1st string FS

#58 - Shanle, Scott - 4 yr exp

                        1st string WLB

#95 - Johnson, Trevor - 3 yr exp

                        3rd string RDE

 

Shanle led the Saints in 2006 regular season with 97 tackles.  Bullocks is
third with 71.  These two former Blackshirts accounted for 16% of the team's
regular season tackles.  Groce added 16 tackles. While Johnson recorded 4.

 

The Saints had 11 regular season INTs.  Bullocks accounted for 2 of them. 

 

For those wondering, Groce has not handled PR or KR, as those duties are
shared primarily by Reggie Bush and Michael Lewis

 

 

BEARS:

 

#30 - Brown, Mike - 6 yr exp 

IR.  Started 6 games before season ending injury.

PATRIOTS:

 

#71 - Hochstein, Russ - 5 yr exp

                        2nd string C played in 13 games, behind Dan Koppen
who started all 16 games

#90 - Smith, LeKevin - R

                        3rd string NT played in only 3 games

 

Of the four games, there are two led by former SEC QBs and two led by former
Big TelEveN QBs.   It's against my better judgment, but I'll predict the
Brees (Payton) and Brady (Belichick) figure out ways to pave the path to
Miami.

 

Saints - 24

Bears - 10

 

Patriots - 30

Colts - 27

 

Enjoy the games.
