I hear you hitta. I want him to come out swinging with the knock out punch! If he fails, then I want him to go down in a blaze and garner us a top pick from each round in 2024. I don't want him fired at midseason though. He is a great defensive mind that I don't want to lose midway through the season, and I don't know who we have inhouse that can replace him anyway.

Keep an eye on Pete Werner.

Solid player but has had some injuries that kept him out
of games in 2022.

Hopefully our DEPTH shines at camp.

Quality depth (see Eagles, Niners or Dallas) is paramount in the NFL.

You are so right K. Our depth is young and unproven but they have potential to play like Ellis did when he stepped up last year. If our second year players have developed, as well as the benefit of getting production from this years draft class, then I'm feeling pretty good about our second string players. We are close to camp and should see them find their groove in the system early on working with hands on coaches. I expect our young players to pop at training camp. They were drafted for this system after all.

Side note - Ross Jackson is high on rookie WR Shaq Davis (S.C. St). A big guy (6’5) with hands.

More so than A.T. Perry.

Show me.

AT Perry and Shaq Davis could push some young talent off the roster if they click at training camp. Davis is intriguing and is another big body like our offense favors.

Ross Jackson is one of my favorite sources/sauces for New Orleans Saints updates. He is good at breaking down the way that football is played, and where we fall short, as well as options on getting things right. I feel like he is more in tune with the team than most reporters, but there are a still couple of good local sports reporters who have good insight too. NOF is good but I don't subscribe to their print. I do enjoy watching Mike Triplett, Brooke, and Nick Underhill give their feed back on my boys.

Matt Moscone is solid but he doesn't like DC4 and therefore doesn't think we are going anywhere with him leading the charge. Like most fans, I think he will reevaluate DC4 and come around but his vibe isn't as positive anymore, so I don't tune in often. I want someone pumping sunshine!

Did we get new strength and conditioning and nutritionists staff? I didn't keep up.

"Baby" Megatron and AT would be formidable upgrades at the bottom end of the WR room.

Rookies from nine NFL teams report to training camp today

Including the Saints ...

It's time to get ready. Nutrition, hydration, exercise & overall health.

Excited to see what our rookies can do & if anyone "stands out".

By the way, Scott Shanle was a monster that year!

Every time I see Darren Sharper do something good, even if it's in a Saints' uniform.... maybe even more because it is in a Saints' uniform, I cringe. He ruins a lot of the Saints' championship season highlight reels for me.
