This was a great take Smash! My takeaways from the clip:

- Dennis values SPECIAL TEAMS more than we'll ever know.
- Roby is talented, however wasn't making enough plays @ practice.
- They are betting on Taylor to get up to speed in the slot (long term).
- Jaylon Smith is your #3, however HE'S never played on special teams (see #1) ... no role as a special teamer ATM. But clearly your #3 LB
- Triplett is confident Shaq will return to the practice squad
- Oline depth is still scary (exact words from Nick)
- Don't be surprised to see Dougie M look for a back up T/G elsewhere
- With all of the MT "injury" talk, is there concern that Shaheed won't be 100% by start of game #1?
- The Austrialian (equally inconsistent) won the punting job over my guy Blake G ... but for how long? Maybe still a phone call away?
- Saints chose YOUTH & TRUST on FG kicking over the experienced vet (Lutz)
- Best option on kick off returns? Shaheed, Ugo, Taysom or Alontae (emergency returner if needed)

Goes back to an earlier post of mine. Special teams is CRITICAL to a teams success or failure.

We are getting close. Can't wait

Mark my words, going with Grupe will be our undoing

Rookie kickers make me nervous too but from what I've been reading, the young kid is automatic from 45 yards in. We're about to find out.

We're younger for sure. I still don't understand why we didn't trade Roby. Maybe we have a hand shake deal with him to return tomorrow after 3Q goes to IR.

There probably weren't the claimed trade partners out there. That might have been his agent making crap up.

And it will be Jaylon Smith who will be coming back when Tre'Quan and/or Landon Young go on IR.

That's only if he's still available.

Looks like we'll being seing The Throck in Week 2. Carolina just picked him up off waivers.

I hope we get to see him. If so that means Carolina is screwed with their offensive depth.

He's available. Dennis Allen pretty much said in an interview that he'll be back.

Edit: And he's back!

He can have him.
