Good luck to him. The NFL is a different animal though.

We are quietly putting one hell of a team together.

Imagine the training camp battles that are going to go between the WRs and DBs. New guys like Olave, Landry, (Thomas return) and the other multiple players fighting for a spot vs Ceedy, Honeybadger, Smoke, Taylor, Mayes etc….love to be a fly on the wall for those practices!

I've got to go to training camp to see these battles with my own two eyes. They are going to be epic.

Agreed. I wanna see if these guys has the goods as well. It’s a very exciting time. Can’t wait for training camp and the regular season

Dammit. You guys get my hopes up every year at this time. Where'd all the naysayers go?


All I can muster right now is that the Saints Guards are subpar and they need LB depth.

Well ice, I’d be a lot more naysayerish if they hadn’t drafted who they did in round one and they hadn’t signed two former Tigers! 😃

Taylor's tape is promising. Lots of versatility and athleticism with his game. Good blitzer, true size for the position that can play on those boundaries & solid fundamentals on special teams.

If the rookie turns into a quality starter within 3 years, it's another feather in the cap for Saints scouting brass.

Kris Richard has a TON of talent to work with.

Agreed.

Saints secondary has never had this much talent and that along with the pass rush should see a synergy effect that should put the defense among the elite in QB pressures...

If Payton Turner and Davenport can stay healthy, then defensively this year could be very fun.

Go to the Saint Report. You'll find plenty over there.

All I can muster right now is that the Saints Guards are subpar and they need LB depth.


Our young LB'ers are turning head in OTA's. We might be alright with who we have. We still have the option of signing Kwon.

Our new athletic department has the potential to make this team better by applying science. Keeping players healthy is more important than good depth. Although, not by much.

Contact, Hitting, PreSeason games, Guys going all out to make an NFL roster, establish a NFL career so we really don't know; but this roster needs veteran LBer help...

It'll be interesting to see just how big an impact they have on the recovery and health of this roster - probably one of the most overlooked stories this offseason...

Coach Allen has mentioned Alontea quite a bit this off-season.

If he continues to progress at camp, I wouldn't be shocked to see him in some sub-packages in real games.

We all know that DA has said his plan is to play Taylor at CB however down the road, I do expect him to transition to safety. Sort of like how they did with Malcolm J.

Training camp will be nice this year :bng:

Taylor has been an unexpected surprise. I had no idea who he was when we picked him up and felt disappointed in the pick at the time. Now and then I enjoy a good helping of crow.;)

Bump ...

Alontea Taylor appears to be the real deal at corner as a ROOKIE.

His coverage skills are very polished to be so young. Apparently, the Saints scouts knew exactly what they wanted to see in him to be taken so early in the draft.

Good game on yesterday Taylor.

Alontae Taylor is going to sell a lot of jerseys. Thank you again Jeff Ireland for drafting impact players that fit the system.

Sample size but Alontae Taylor is another promising player for the Saint's secondary. Already looking like a solid 2nd round draft selection.

Kinda surprised he didn't see the field vs Philly. Especially considering Adebo hasn't performed all that well in 2021.

Adebo had a significant sophomore slump Let's hope that Allante Taylor doesn't.
