New Orleans Saints Training Camp Day Off: Early Peak at Depth Chart
 
Here is a nice overview of the Saints' current roster with the obvious starters and their most immediate backups indicated, as well as the larger battles (ie outside linebackers, last WR spot and backup corners and safeties) and guys to keep your eyes on to either make the squad or just miss in the final cuts.

Enjoy and use to debate exactly who you think will make the final 53.

Lets hope we don't see too much of this ...Harper in coverage..lol

Thanks for the writeup D...its going to be interesting for sure..I still think Shanle might get replaced with Ingrm....have you been out at camp?..whats your take on the LBs...who is making plays?

realheavyd 08-08-2011 10:19 PM

Harper on TE's you mean? I think they like that LB from Seattle, Will Herring, for his coverage skills as a nickle LB to stick with the final roster for just that purpose. We shall see how well he does pretty soon I reckon! Did you agree with the breakdown, for the most part? Who's your final 53, or is it still too soon to call at a few spots?

strato 08-08-2011 10:22 PM

I agree with what you got here...im kinda thinking Sharper might sign after camp...i dunno

realheavyd 08-08-2011 10:27 PM

Did you happen to hear him talk on the radio to Brian Alle-Walsh earlier today? He hinted at coming back, but only if he doesn't find the perfect fit elsewhere to get back to the Super Bowl and to be "the man" at his position to start and play every defensive down, because he is in such great shape over the offseason. He knows that he would only be a situational player as a backup to Jenkins and Harper and that is the only thing keeping him from signing on the dotted line for the Saints right now. He even talked about how he loves the new additions on the D-line and through the draft.

strato 08-08-2011 10:31 PM

Darn..well he cant unseat Jenkins thats for sure...wish he would just take the backup spot..

realheavyd 08-08-2011 10:42 PM

Maybe he will when it comes down to game time. Maybe all he has offers from are teams like the Jaguars, who have no QB and no plan to get to the Big Dance at all yet, huh?

strato 08-08-2011 10:43 PM

I hope so ..still think he can play.

realheavyd 08-08-2011 10:49 PM

Well, they haven't given up number 42 to anyone new, so I think they are holding out hope that he will eventually decide that this is where he needs to finish his career in total glory with another couple of Super Bowls in a row before retiring from the game for good.

We shall see soon enough, right?

First preseason game for us is Friday night!

Who Dat!?!?!?

strato 08-08-2011 11:02 PM

realheavyd 08-08-2011 11:04 PM

Wonder how I'm gonna catch the game here in East Tennessee? Any ideas on whether or not anyone will stream it online or not?

strato 08-08-2011 11:11 PM

realheavyd 08-08-2011 11:15 PM

What is Buffalo WWs? Oh, Buffalo Wild Wings, right? Duh! I definitely want to actually see it so I can watch all the new guys and the camp hopefuls play in preseason.

strato 08-08-2011 11:17 PM

kewl thanks ff

Sweet. Thanks!!!

Good article! But you have Oliver as a CB while he played at SS for the Chargers, and as far as I know
that is where he is slotted for the Saints also?

I was thinking the same thing...

ALLSAINTS66 08-09-2011 07:34 AM

Something about the title kept making my brain hurt. Then I saw it:

peak = mountain top/zenith
peek = take a quick look at

I read the article but it still isn't clear to me, did they really
mean "peak" as in "early zenith" or is it a ridiculous typo?
Does no one in journalism proofread any more??? Or is
Derrick REALLY that *clever*...

Head still hurts. *laughing*

I think he will - even he has to know his 09 season was a fluke. He can do a lot for the youngsters!! :bng:

Boutte 08-09-2011 02:38 PM

He's full of it! He's just waiting for training camp to end.

realheavyd 08-09-2011 04:41 PM

Thanks for the correction about Paul Oliver at safety instead of corner. I will make that correction ASAP. Good eye guys! The correction has now been made on the original article, too...

Thanks again fellas. Saints fans are the best and the most knowledgeable in the whole league, by far!

Oh, and I had completely forgotten to mention S DeAndre McDaniel in my first draft of that article, but I have since added him, very deservedly, into the list of competing safeties.

BTW, the spelling of peak was intentional, as in the team peaking early from a depth perspective and I liked the play on words as well. Wondered if anyone would catch it or not...

Wouldn't you hate to be Sean Payton to have to make all those cuts-down to just 53 talents to keep on your roster this season?

foreverfan 08-09-2011 05:48 PM

You can check JustinTV also.

realheavyd 08-09-2011 07:21 PM

You actually can't get American football on Justintv anymore and the FCC has totally shut down channelsurfing.net now too! Any more ideas for free online streams to watch these games?
