Observations from the Saints preseason loss to the Texans

Disappointing to hear about Book's struggles. Hope he figures it out before long. At this point it's probably safe to send him down to the practice squad based on our needs.

Did Kenny Pickett look any better?

Really good composure in the pocket. Looks very fluid in going through progressions. I never saw any of that "happy feet" stuff where QBs usually take off running.

Kenny "baby hands" Pickett could become the truth in a few seasons.

What I like most about Trevor is that he's coachable, has a mean streak and a ridiculous ceiling. He could end up as your starting bookend for the next 8-10 years.

He is quite typical of the college player that has gotten by a lot on size and strength, he will have a period of time while getting used to the NFL.

4 seasons in, Trequan still can't make the contested catch (good placement by Book).

Can Dixon play on special teams? This is the only way I see him making the roster.
