Originally signed by the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent out of East Carolina in 2012, Lewis appeared in three games for the Redskins in 2013 after starting the season on their practice squad and was also on the Dallas Cowboys practice roster for Week 17 of that campaign.

The Concord, N.C. native played two seasons at East Carolina and following his senior campaign, ranked first in school record books in touchdown receptions (22), third in receptions (149) and fifth in receiving yardage (1,716).


These are usually the little signings that surprise (i.e. Lance Moore); good size, look forward to seeing what he can do...
Hmm...well our new WR Coach (John Morton) spent the last several years with the 49ers so maybe he has some insight on Lewis ?

Camp body to push Toon, Coleman or Jones, no?

Edit: I read a report from Mike Detillier yesterday ... "WR. Seatavius Jones has spent a lot of time in weightroom, bigger, quicker off snap and he has another gear in space".

Good sign .

FS (3) Jairus Byrd, Rafael Bush, Pierre Warren, Kenny Phillips (FA)

SS (2) Kenny Vaccaro, Rafael Bush, Vinnie Sunseri, Jamarca Sanford

Rafael Bush is to my knowledge is the only safety on the roster that can play both spots and get the job done at a decent level

so this could be a fun camp battle

Pierre Warren, Kenny Phillips (FA)
Vinnie Sunseri, Jamarca Sanford

2 might not make it with the draft pick of Damian Swann who is a solid last ditch option at Safety if all else fails.

#1 fear Pierre Warren will get cut again

Re: 2015 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Ironically Pierre Warren seems to be the only guy who knows how to intercept the ball...

See us keeping five (5) cornerbacks and five (5) safeties; wild card situation could be if Swann moves to safety, then I could see keeping another cb-type...

But Sunseri surprised and Pierre Warren has shown production when he's gotten to the field...

Bush could be great trade bait, but considering recent injuries, it'd be wiser to keep him under contract - unless the trade was that good...

And then if Phillips surprises with good play, health - Dennis Allen and Rob are going to really feel the heat to get it right...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

These three guys will be intriguing for me & I'm specifically curious to see if Phillips is in football shape (DNP in 2014), ready to compete with the younger guys.

Re: 2015 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Sunseri and Phillips both had injuries, so how they have recovered is a big factor...

Everyone here on the site seems to think Phillips is a SS; he's always played FS...

And there's also where Swann ends up as well as Stanley Jean Baptiste, the second round wonder...

Re: 2015 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Camp Battles

McCown v Griffin

Toon/Joe Morgan v Coleman/Jones

Peat v Apple Cart (If he comes in and blows everyone away, causing reshuffle of the offensive line)

Foster (knee) v Eulls

Parys Haralson (father time) v Ronald Powell (Spencer starting was a foregone conclusion for Ryan)

Anthony v Hawthorne

Hawthorne v Franklin (Hawthorne loses to Anthony and Franklin shows capable, cap number becomes issue)

Ellerbe (hip) v Humber

Humber v Coley (Humber could find himself in same situation described for Hawthorne)

The defensive backfield gets complicated, key factors:

Raphael Bush is auditioning at the nickel back role to expand his assessment...

Kyle Wilson will have to prove he's more than a nickel-back...

P J Williams isn't a flop, but should make the team, if he earns the nickel, Wilson is gone...

Swann was also scouted to play safety, so he needs to get healthy and show some versatility...

Pierre Warren seems to be the only guy to make plays into interceptions; why are the coaches less impressed than fans?!?

If all are playing well when we're hitting with pads, do we trade a player? with what team and position or draft pick?
