Yes sir! Lofton looked like Vilma before all the injuries!

Except with more power

Vilma is undersized for the LB position, lofton is the prototypical mike LB

Ingram's vision was the first thing I noticed about him. It was only 4 carries, but he did not look like that tentative runner we saw last season. Scary.

He seemed to be running with a much clearer picture of where he was
and who was around him and finishing falling forward rather than
being driven backwards. Year two maturity, and YES, that is scary.

I thought that Marcel Jones looked pretty good as the 2nd string RT and most of the pressure was coming from the left side, which was - surprise surprise - manned by Charles Brown. The right side of the O-line with Topou and Jones looked alright for the 2nd string, and Tennant wasn't bad either as the 2nd string center.

Still, he's "only" a punter... :-D

Its Cadet vs Ivory......the other 3 backs are locks. I think Ivory edges him out

Last year's man crush was Tom Johnson. This year I can see it's Marcel Jones. :cool:

Don't get me wrong, Tom is still my sweetheart, but I guess I'm hoping that Jones will work out for the sake of the O-line's continuity going forward.

And speaking of Tom, he was in on that one sack with Martez, and he did look quite mobile with the limited reps he had, so I'm hoping and praying that he stays injury free this preseason and can fight for a starting job at DT.

I'm envisioning the trio of Bunkley, Johnson and Hicks providing a mobile corps of DTs for the Saints in the coming years - I'm still not convinced by Ellis 4.0 - and those guys will be key for Spags front 4 schemes' success.

I hope Roby doesn't make it. I'm rooting for Morgan and, if he's healthy, Arrington.

Cadet could push Ivory off the team.

MARTEZ "Balls Out" Wilson

Why would you hope any particular one wouldn't make it? As long as the best man for the job does, thats all I care about.

I don't want him to do poorly. I want younger players to be better men.
