Yup. For vested veterans that is after week one of the regular season.

Alexander Mattison
Darrell Henderson
J.D. McKissisic

There’s a lot of back ups that could come in and hold it down. Send a pick and let’s get it going.

Hopefully we will get 2 1st round draft picks for patent next year

Alvin Kamara braces for suspension of at least six weeks, eventually

Old news. ProFootballTalk is finally catching up with what we've been discussing for months.

One thing that Florio did point out, which I have been touting as well, that the league has begun waiting for "the criminal legal process has ended before taking action." That's why it is doubtful that any punishment would take place at the beginning of this season.

What are the Saints going to do at running back? - YouTube

I like what Nick pointed out about Baun and the affect that the COVID diminished off-seasons have had on his development. In that respect he is in the same boat as Ruiz. Hopefully a full offseason will bring them both to their potential.

It was also interesting that he didn't see David Johnson as an upgrade to Ozigbo or Abram Smith at this time.

I wonder if Carmichael has the same need for a fullback that Payton did? I believe only a small percentage of teams still use them.

We are one of the few that even carry one on the roster. So it appears he'll be used.

Weren't we looking at a replacement for Adam Prentice last year? The running backs had no room to work with at all. Of course, the O-line was playing tag and musical chairs all year long. It wasn't pretty. Ok. It was ugly as hell!

Incidentally, for some reason I'm getting a PT vibe from what I hear coming out of training camp about undrafted rookie Abram Smith. Antonio Pittman who was drafted in the fourth round didn't even get a roster spot when Pierre Thomas was a rookie. We've had success in the past also with Chris Ivory and other UDFA's who played well for us. Any thoughts on the RB coach Joel Thomas?
