JPW Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 I went and asked about him on the Saints boards.....Seems that all the fans there thought very highly of him.A few quotes:Has he been more of a run blocker or a pass blocker ?Both... he is one of the better centers in the last 10 years or so, but wore down noticeable in the last 5-6 games of last year. He is getting old. A warhorse with many a battle under his belt.Solid. Dependable. Leader.He's been all those things for the Saints for a long time.Yes, he's aging. Stamina over a 16-game is a factor.Still, he'll play his heart out for you.Good luck, Jerry! We'll all miss you. He is a class act and they will really benefit having signed him. He will make Palmer a better player as well. I hope that when his time does come to hang up the cleats he will be asked to come back to the Saints in some sort of function. Hes a great guy. BDM jerry is a solid player but will wear down after a few games...will fill in admirably and will teach any youngsters you got on that line how to play and conduct themselves...you just got a good player with absolutely no baggage!!! Good luck, he's one of the smartest players in the NFL IMO... Sounds like although he can't be counted on to play a full 16 games, he could be a BIG help backing up Braham. Quote
BengalPappaw Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Thanks for the Saints' perspective -- I'm feeling better about him as a solid backup and starter. Quote
