Okay so Jeff and I see the same thing.

Depth concerns at LB. Anything happens to DD or Pete (groin injury could linger) … boy.

I’d bring back Wilson and/or Bostic.

The issue with Baun is they’re not using him right. He’s a stand up pass rushing lb/de. He was one of the top pass rushers in college. Now trying to play sideline to sideline lb. Square peg round hole

Doesn't explain why he's still here.

And that is worth a ton if you fighting for the last spot at a position. Coaches love that in a player.

As a whole I have to say the Saints have looked a lot worse with the first 53-man roster of the season. We got good players at every position. Not all of them superstars but quality NFL starters.

We couldn't find a trade partner?

Guess that would explain why Daniel Sorenson still has a job in New Orleans.

Even if this is true, I'd take him over Elliss.

Update - Dwayne Washington was released (per Underhill).

He isn't a very good RB. Thats probably all there is to it.

I thought I heard Elliss was playing pretty good this preseason....

Just curious, but what makes you say that? From my untrained eye Ellis has gotten better each year and looked pretty good this training camp. He has had a few flaws like his coverage that he's been better at. I like Baun but the poor fella' was drafted into the wrong system and we don't utilize him like he needs to be. We are trying to coach him up and we have the coaches to do that, but his ceiling is very low and I'm actually surprised that we didn't trade him this year.

It seems like we have a bad habit in the Saints front office of trying to change young players positions, but we aren't highly successful at it. Baun is another case of round peg/square hole.

I’ll be honest; I saw this picture when the Saints picked him up this spring and thought “this clown doesn’t have a shot”. I was wrong! I hope he continues to improve and becomes a solid player… for the Saints.

I've written some things in various threads. I closely watched Ellis in the preseason, even rewinding and pausing the play to see things like positioning, getting off blocks, is his head still watching the backfield, etc. Ellis was rarely near the ball with a chance to make a play. He did not seem to understand where the ball was going, or how to work in lanes to get to a runner. In pass coverage he seemed lost, as well.



I tried to find some stats to back up what I'm writing. I couldn't find snap counts for this preseason. In three games played, where I thought it seemed Ellis played at least most of the first half each week, he had a total of 3 tackles. By comparison, Jon Bostic, who only played in two games, had 11 tackles. Bostic came into camp late and Ellis has been on the team for a few years. Eric Wilson had 11 tackles in his preseason snaps. Chase Hansen played in two games and had 8 tackles and an interception.
