Pray that the O line stays somewhat healthy.

Peat is only serviceable. Our depth is spotty (Kidd/Saldiveri).

Blake G looked better.

I know some want to run Winston out of town but Haener is #3 right now.

Real football 🏈 begins in 2 weeks, can’t wait.

My TE's: - Juwan, Foster and Jimmy G.

You can't coach 6'7 in the redzone. That basketball background comes in handy with those shorter DBs trying to defend him.

Krull is too inconsistent with pass catching. He needs more development.

Jimmy is still a serious red zone target. O-line depth scares the crap out of me.

Fairly clean game from a penalty perspective. Krull was Haener's favorite target and may be targeted on a new team after cuts. He had a really good game and it will be hard to sneak him onto the practice squad.

Krull hold make the team. He definitely has an upside. Love Graham. His situational value doesn't overtake Krulls overall value. Hafner is a project at best. 70/30 he's never more than a backup in the NFL. Winston was equally bad last night. The reserve OLine is atrocious. The Saints were crazy lucky to sign J. Smith. He will play and make plays for the Saints this season. No reserve secondarily people stood out at all. A crazy idea. Bulk Lalos up and make him a guard. I believe he would be all pro. 😁

* Jimmy Graham looked like Jimmy Graham. The size and ability to use his body to shield the ball from defenders are still there.

* Kendre Miller looks like a young Mark Ingram - quite the burst but unable to find a hole to save his life.

* Isaiah Foskey looks like he is just loafing around out on the field. It might just be his natural movement scheme but it comes off as slow and dull. He had that one great play with the sack but I didn't see a lot of pass rush moves from him.

* Bryan Bresee - Big BB - I like the look of this cat. Nimble feet, good moves. Anchoring the line against the run with a low base. If he shows up on sundays like this... whoa.

* Jake Haener - Pretty mixes showing against the Texans. Some good throws and some quite horrible. He has me kinda excited thou 'cause the good looks really good. He is nowhere near to beating out JW yet.

* O-line looked atrocious in the run game. Peat might lose his spot midway trough the season if Nick Saldiveri keeps improving.

* The TE room looks better than in a long time.

* WR group looks pretty deep. I think we will end up with #4-5 WRs that would be #3 on some other teams.

* I strongly believe that the kicker we'll end up cutting will start for another team.

Krull's drops yesterday not only cost him a spot on the Saints initial roster, but it may have cost him a chance at the 53 on any other roster. He'll probably be there again for the practice squad after waivers. He was targeted 15 times and had seven catches. That's less than a 50% catch ratio. That sucks. Drops haunted him last year and he hasn't done anything to improve.

	W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.
