Joe, I've been reading that Drew's passes look crisp and tight. How you think he's doing? Good decissions? Is he rubbing his shoulder or showing any preference to it after plays?

And as many have said before me, thanks for the updates!

I would love to know how our Defense is doing.

Brees looks good, his passes are crisp and he doesn't seem to have any pain in the shoulder. One thing I will tell you which I think is good news. Drew Brees is as competative as anyone I have ever seen. If he messes up he's the first to let everyone know. Reggie Bush is another one. Yesterday at practice he missed a pass he thought he should have caught, he kicked the pylon completely off the field. Coach Payton has to keep them both from blowing up.

That's what I want to hear. A QB (and RB) taking blame for thier mistakes. That'll go a long way towards making the rest of the team take it upon themselves when they mess up. I hate players that blame everything and everyone but themselves. (And before people start, I didn't mean Brooks in particular, so please don't let this thread go there.)

Joe, who would be your two early picks for...
On the bubble/low draft/walk on that makes the team.
and high pick/money player cut.

I know it's early for this, but it'll be interesting to see how you did come the late August cuts.

how is CB Joey Thomas looking?

LongTimeFan · 08-10-2006, 08:07 PM

Not 100% sure how the team will do this season but I bet they will do everything that they can to win .
I haven't been this excited about the team since the Bobby Hebert era... (Dome Patrol)

Almost forgot, thanks again Joe for the heads up, great pics, I look forward to seeing them at night when I get home from work..

Thanks again bro

LTF ... I'm with you. This is the year of rebirth. New coach(es), QB, and the #1 draft pick (yeah, picked second but who cares).

JOESAM2002 · 08-10-2006, 08:29 PM

I'll start with the cuts I see: I can't see some of our favorites making this team,people like Fred McAfee, Steve Gleason And Michael Lewis. This coaching staff is looking for people who can do more than play just on special teams. On the bubble, are you ready for this? Stallworth! I don't see him on the final team roster. Whether it be a trade or outright cut. If he doesn't pick up his game,I can't see him here.Couple that with the way the young recievers are playing. This seems to me to be a no brainer. Newbies that I think will make it. Jamal Jones, E.J. Kuale,Chase Lyman I think will hang on.

Oh by the way, I'm not real sure that Ernie Conwell will make this team. Last but certainly not least,I think(hope) Todd Bauman will be gone.

Sorry, you asked about Joey Thomas. He's getting a little playing time. At times he looks good and at times he looks like Jason Craft. Joey can make this team, he just needs to be more consistant.

BJSim · 08-10-2006, 08:45 PM

I feel bad for Michael Lewis, but if he doesn't have it, sorry. And if it means keeping A-Mac as kick returner, then I'm for it. Stallworth isn't as surprising to me as some others. But does that mean Henderson is playing THAT well?
