I think the Saints offense would be too uptempo for him and cause more mistakes, like fumbles.
I've been wrong before, though, so who knows.
I think he improved his blocking a great deal at the end, but it was kind of like training a race horse to work as a mule. You don't use the #18 pick overall on a blocking TE. You bring up an excellent point about the uptempo offense. I think Jermaine was most limited from the neck up. A great physical specimen, but that only gets you so far.
It's really too bad that he had the injury as that prevented him from being overpaid as a FA and signing elsewhere early. Now, he won't translate in to what could have been a 3rd round compensatory pick. Now, the Bengals will get no compensation.
