Former Saints RB Khiry Robinson inks 3 year deal with Alliance of American Football For quite some time the NFL has been “the” league for professional football Womens Josh LeRibeus Jersey , but in the past year two new leagues (XFL, AAF) have been announced and one of them has brought in former Saints runningback Khiry Robinson. The Alliance of American Football, set to kick off during the 2019 NFL offseason, inked Robinson to a three year deal with it’s San Antonio franchise.While with New Orleans, Robinson served behind Mark Ingram as part of Sean Payton’s rotation of runningbacks from 2013-2016. He amassed 766 yards on 186 attempts and 8 touchdowns while donning the black and gold. Injuries cut his time in the NFL short, but he’s been attempting a comeback before now signing with the new league. Robinson’s personality and playmaking ability behind Ingram are often remembered fondly by fans. The best game of his career in New Orleans was against Tampa in 2014 where he rushed for 89 yards on 21 carries and a touchdown while also reeling in a reception. The 28 year old worked out for the Saints in October of 2017, but wasn’t signed. Assuming he’s healthy there could still be enough tread left on the tires for him to play a few more years in the AAF or another league.The head coach of the San Antonio team (team names have yet to be released) is another name Saints fans will be familiar with, Mike Riley. Riley played football for famous Alabama coach Bear Bryant and went on to coach in the Canadian Football League, various college teams and was an assistant coach with New Orleans in 2002. San Antonio, Memphis and Birmingham all will host teams during the 2019 inaugural season for AAF Womens Benjamin Watson Jersey , giving Louisiana football fans multiple options on who they can follow and root for. At this time, neither the AAF or XFL have announced any plans for a team in Louisiana. With the Philadelphia Eagles playing the New Orleans Saints in the divisional round of the playoffs on Sunday, one thing is certain: Saints fans are tired of hearing the term:“Nick Foles Magic.” The Eagles’ backup quarterback took his team to the Super Bowl and won it last season. This year, here he comes again, off the bench for Carson Wentz and trying to repeat his exploits from 2017-18 by winning three more games this postseason.But before there was Nick Foles and a Philadelphia Eagles team about to invade the Superdome with a boat load of confidence and bravado, back in 2009 there was Kurt Warner Magic and a strikingly similar Cardinals team that came to New Orleans full of swagger, with a starter-turned-backup-turned starter quarterback on a magic carpet ride, looking to get back to the Super Bowl. Kurt Warner MagicThe date was December 28, 2008 and the Arizona Cardinals, led by quarterback Kurt Warner had just defeated the Seattle Seahawks 34-21 to improve their record to 9-7 and win the NFC West.Despite their unimpressive regular season record Youth Cameron Jordan Jersey , the Cardinals would make it all the way to the Super Bowl and come up just short against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Warner, the old gunslinger had resurrected his career from the failure of the end of his tenure in St. Louis, his lackluster stint as a backup to Eli Manning in New York and a brief backup role to Matt Leinart in Arizona. An eerie instance of the past foretelling the story of Nick Foles’ path in the NFL: From early success in Philadelphia to failures in St. Louis and Kansas City, before seeing the light again in Philly and leading the Eagles to victory in Super Bowl LII. One year after appearing in the Super Bowl with Arizona, Warner like Foles this year, showed that he still had some tricks up his sleeve: The Cardinals won their second consecutive NFC West title with a 10-6 record and triumphed in an unbelievable 51-45 overtime Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers. Surely, Warner and his angry birds were about to beat the odds again and find their way back to the Big Game. If this sounds somewhat familiar to you, it should: this season, Nick Foles and the Eagles have similarly summoned the dark forces of magic again, narrowly making it into the playoffs and then defeating the favored Chicago Bears by the tip of Treyvon Hester’s fingers and Cody Parkey’s deadly aim when shooting for uprights.Facing the Slumping Number One Seed SaintsNine years ago Womens Patrick Robinson Jersey , the New Orleans Saints stood in Arizona’s way back to the Big Dance. The number one seed Saints had peaked in week 12 when they demolished the New England Patriots 38-17 in the Superdome and improved to 11-0. After that game, the Saints lost their mojo: they miraculously won a 33-30 crazy game at Washington, and then squeaked past the Atlanta Falcons 26-23 at home. Now 13-0, they’d proceed to lose their last three games and limp into their bye week with a lot of pundits doubting whether they could ever recover their mid-season form. Stop me if this feels like a case of d茅j脿 vu.Then came January 16, 2010: the Cardinals descended onto the Superdome armed with magic, strut and destiny, just like the Philadelphia Eagles will tomorrow. But the Saints, still reeling from their late season slump brought the wood. The frustration of three weeks of doubts both internal and external exploded on the Cardinals in a 45-14 rout. Kurt Warner’s Magic was obliterated, as exemplified by this very legal hit by Bobby McCray after and interception by the late Saints great Will Smith. The Saints were en route for an extraordinary ride that would see them lift the Super Bowl XLIV trophy a few weeks later.Ripe for the Taking?Throughout this past week, I have heard fans and pundits alike talk about the Eagles and the Saints exactly the way they were talking about the Cardinals and the Saints in 2009: the Eagles have the momentum Youth Mark Ingram II Jersey , they have that je ne sais quoi, and oh yes, they have Nick Foles and his long, hard and powerful magic wand. Meanwhile, the Saints have been playing a mediocre, flaccid brand of football. They’ve lost their way and are certainly ripe for the taking.On the 16th day of the first month of the year 2010, the Cardinals believed they had the Saints right where they wanted them. Today, the Eagles believe that too. What do you believe? Custom Oakland Raiders Jerseys
