Hey fans. If we need a Vet to bring in, how about Stinchcomb ? As much as Brees and the Saints pass the ball, you KNOW Stinchcomb knows a thing or two about pass blocking. :Agree

He probably does know a thing or two about pass blocking.

He probably also knows a thing or two about a QB that knows how to get rid of the ball on time.

Exactly, most of us could block for Brees' 3 step drop and release.

Max Starks would be an all pro LT if he had Brees as his QB.

Instead, he gets crapped on by our fan base because his QB will hold the ball as long as his line will allow him to. Being a lineman in Pittsburgh is an impossible standard.

Although our RT is slow and our interior linemen miss blocks like nobodies business. But that's beside the point here.

OK, hes not Methusela but has definately passed his prime

31 is past ones prime ? Okay so he did play with some injuries last season yes. And he did have off-season Quad surgery. But, he is healthy now. And he hasn't missed a single game in 6 years, so his toughness can't be questioned can it ? I mean does ANYONE here actually think that Flozell Adams ould be a better RT then Stinchcomb ?.....purely :lol:

[Flasteel]

We need help at LT more than we do the right side. J. Scott is scary enough, but if he goes down...holy crap.

[rockonsteel]

Uhhhh, can he play corner?

Just sayin'

More like... That is the point. They are not very good at run blocking as well as pass blocking

he does sound like a Steelers' type of guy... :tt2


Saints cut former Pro Bowler Stinchcomb

The Saints cut their longest tenured player Monday when they let go of tackle Jonathan Stinchcomb.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune points out that the 2003 second-round pick was among the most popular players in the organization. He was the team’s Man of the Year in 2008 and a Pro Bowler in 2009.

Stinchcomb’s play slipped in 2010 because of a knee injury and he underwent a serious quadricep surgery in the offseason. The Saints will get younger at right tackle with either Zach Strief or Charles Brown.

“He’s gonna be on the ‘Wall of Fame’ that we have down our hallway, and I think he should be in the Saints’ Hall of Fame one day,” G.M. Mickey Loomis told the Picayune. “He’s meant a lot to our organization, for a number of reasons, including his play on the field.”

What the heck kind of name is that? I bet he got tough because the kids made fun of him growing up.
