Looking back on a Season: 2001

... could be made that in the first half of the 2000's, maybe only the Chiefs had a better offensive line.
The defense was really good. They were ranked fifth in scoring defense, and was quite adept at rushing the passer. I think in his first four games KGB had nine sacks, or some crazy number like that, and he only came in on third downs that year. Cletidus Hunt and Vonnie Holliday both showed alot of promise. Darren Sharper again had a very good year, and Mike McKenzie really started to emerge.
The team went 12-4 and ...

... a veteran player that knows what it takes to play in that first game, that knows the speed of the game changes from preseason to regular season, that understands the terminology if it's a new team. Oftentimes we'll bring back a veteran that was on our team previously in the prior years. There are a lot of factors there. The farther we get into camp, the more likely it's going to be a veteran player or an older player.
Q: Are Deuce McAllister and Mike McKenzie healthy enough to play right now? ...
Texans Bringing In Former Saints CB Mike McKenzie
Battle Red Blog —
Pulling in another one from the scrap heap:
In addition to Deltha O'Neal and Jason Webster, the Texans are bringing in free agent CB Mike McKenzie for a tryout. O'Neal might get the first look because he was with Gary Kubiak in Denver, but McKenzie has played the best football lately. Houston is also looking at free agent runners Andre Hall and Brad Lester. Lester wasn't drafted in April.

New Orleans Saints Sign Former Cornerback Mike McKenzie
Canal Street Chronicles —
Well, the rumors were swirling this morning and as it turns out, it looks like they were true. WWLTV has confirmed on their homepage that the Saints have officially signed cornerback Mike McKenzie. The 2009 Saints season continues to shock and astound.
I have no idea what this means about the current situation and health status of the Saints cornerback position but my initial assumption is that Leigh Torrence and/or Randall Gay got a little nicked up yesterday and are, at the very least, questionable for ...
The Game Against the Patriots Began Yesterday
Canal Street Chronicles —
... and Mike McKenzie (Welcome home, Mike!) and Ellis and Greer seemingly set to return this week, how does the Patriots offense game plan for our defense? No one but maybe Payton and Williams seems to know exactly who will be playing on that side of the ball next Monday. Could today's signing of McKenzie be more gamesmanship to keep the Patriots guessing? I expect Payton will employ a heavier than normal "Belichik" strategy this week with the injury reports to try and keep them guessing right up until gametime. ...
Packers Signing: CB Josh Bell

... active to play on special teams. On the other hand, he was an NFL starter last season and now that he's healthy, he's probably as good as any street free agent they could have found.
Now the Packers don't have any open roster spots, until they place LB Aaron Kampman and CB Al Harris on I.R. Then they may promote LB Cyril Obiozor from the practice squad.
Though I wonder if they would have even considered signing ex-Packer CB Mike McKenzie, who was just resigned by the ...
