- Curious to see the DT rotation, not only performance, but snap counts...

- Want to watch the kick coverage to see who really wants to be on the roster...

- Looking to see progress and development not only in Adebo, but Crawley as well...

- What will the new additions' (e.g. Jamerson, Mills, Heath) roles be in the game...

- And like everybody, will be watching the Jameis v Taysom QB Battle...

Indeed. I heard Tuttle has struggled.

Supposedly, he's being outplayed...

Rewatched the BAL game and the DTs were being swapped back and forth, DT3 <---> NT, like the coaches were looking for something to stick? testing versatility?

There was a real effort to examine each DT as Onyemata played DE for several snaps at one point...

Coaching matters, even at this level. Not sure how much longer we'll have the services of Nielsen on that D Line.

Owners/GM's will call him in 2022 on interviews for defensive coordinator opportunities.

That won't get us a draft pick will it? Honestly, I'm surprised that he's still here because he has done wonders with our D-line

Likewise we will get calls about our DC. Nielson may just get promoted here.

I'm fine with that. DA needs everyone to play prefect football for his system to work. Actually, he's only had a couple of good seasons since he's been here. In fact, I would lay the blame squarely on his shoulders for not bringing home another Lombardi trophy.

DL coach and DC are different animals. But you never know. Maybe he thinks he's ready for the jump. Maybe the Saints give him a bump and another title, like assistant DC.
