Questions in players
 
Only caught most of the game.
What is your assessment of

Anthony
Alonzone
Our LB corps as a whole
Whoever is at center, specifically snaps
Kick return
Defensive ends?

Where do we seem to have decent depth (besides RB)
Where is depth lacking? I know we have to have to assess Oline but what else.

I wasn't able to catch the game either. Just been reading and watching highlights. But I think we have depth everywhere, it's just the quality. I really hope our CBs aren't hurt all preseason. Ridiculous.

And from what I'm hearing, LT is a major issue. Barnes and Harris are bad.

What about the LT we had from Pittsburgh? Not the best but serviceable.

Anthony and Alonzone had their flashes

Our LB corps as a whole it is too early to tell but a not bad rating works for me

Whoever is at center, specifically snaps The OL as a unit was a mess for the most part. So an incomplete applies

Kick return - hope?

Defensive ends looked solid enough

DBs really as a unit looks to be the issue. give them time to work as unit. Gel Time

I'd like to see TG Jr fielding a punt and/or kick return in pre season game #2. His stats were good in this phase of the game last season with the Kittens. I truly believe this (special teams play) is where he will help the Saints in 2017.

Here's my question. Does Ginn ever muff punts or kicks? If not, how the hell can the guy be a reliable returner but drops passes? I understand that obviously, trajectory is completely different, but catching a punt/kick should be harder than catching a pass...at least it seems so.....

Rookie Safety Williams- good instincts and made a few plays
KV- Couple of nice plays
Manti Teo- playing with some fire, good instincts gets to ball
Kikahah- nice rush

Not nearly as often as he would with intermediate/short passes. He's always been a situational, butter fingered field stretcher. Unfortunate for the Saints, hands of stone won't get any better at this point of his career. It's been hit or miss with him over the years. Because of his Ginn's speed, he should have a role in Sean Payton's offense but those "drops" can become drive killers in real game situations.

Hopefully Fuller, Tommy L and Brandon step up so that we won't have to rely on TG Jr as much.

So he'll basically just take the top off the defense and get thrown the ball when he's open? So he'll do what Cooks was supposed to do without *****ing that he didn't get the ball in a huge win.
