New Orleans Saints 2010 Season Preview
By ANDY BENOIThttp://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/
Scott Fujita was a solid player for the Saints. He was a consistent tackler; an eight-year veteran and defensive captain; a smart pass defender. He was beloved throughout the New Orleans community and within the Saint locker room.
But you can excuse the Saints for cracking a smile when they think about losing Fujita. Because when they do, they inevitably think about how that’s really all they lost. Oh sure, they said goodbye to running back Mike Bell, but he was third on the depth chart. They released defensive ends Charles Grant and Bobby McCray, but Grant was slowing down and sidelined during the playoff run, and McCray has been replaced by respectable longtime Bear Alex Brown. And sure, the Saints traded offensive tackle Jammal Brown. But they didn’t need Brown; he missed last season with injury.
