The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
Let's see if we can have one spot on this board where we can talk about the upcoming season in a positive light without being heckled by the doom and gloomers on the board. It's a restart of the the "Reasons to be Positive" thread, which now is a 30 page plus barren wasteland.
So my first question: What camp battles are you looking forward to? SFIAH |
Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
Miller vs Williams for RB2

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
Lattimore vs Adebo vs Taylor vs Koolaid for starting corners. I think any could start.
TE I think any could start. RT I see as wide open if Ram is not healthy. It would be great if Ram is healthy. If not, starter may not currently be on our roster, but thats not a bad thing to find a value late in the offseason. Backup QB will be interesting. I hope we have competition at punter. DE rotation will be interesting. I would like to see Bresee win a starting gig at DT. If Bresee takes a step forward, starts, and is able to sustain a high rate of pressures while being respectable against the run, that potentially helps the team more than any other player. I hope this is positive enough in light of the question. Maybe I am harsh at RT but the Saints have found useful players from other teams cuts in the past, like Taysom Hill, so if our next find could be a RT that would be great. |

Penning vs. The Critics
Boom or Bust this year. If he can find his way to better play in a position not LT. |
Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
Broncos and Saints :beatnik: errr.... my bad, after camp.

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
I think that this might be a redshirt year for Bub Means but I'd like to see him and/or A.T. Perry make a splash.
I don't see Smoke Monday on the official site so I worry that he didn't pan out. |

That said, Williams had some pretty solid receiving numbers himself with 18 catches in 20 targets. He was the only player on the roster with seven or more targets that didn't drop a single ball thrown his way. |
Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
I’d love to see Shaheed get more targets. His hands are elite.

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
sure are a lot of positive vibes going on here. :beatnik:

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
They are undefeated and injuries are at a minimum. :)

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
Number one on the list is pretty obvious!

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
Alvin Kamara not reporting to camp and holding out. :beatnik:

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
Chris Simms Ranks D Carr @ 22....awesome! :beatnik:

I made a specific request to Sinner to stay out of this thread. He has honored that request and I am very appreciative that he has done so. My request did not specifically extend to the Cow. I am hoping that he will keep the tone down. So, until now I've left it alone. And for now I suggest that everyone else do the same. If it gets out of hand, I'll address it. So, for now folks let's just keep the positive vibes going. Rookies have already reported. Everyone will be in on Tuesday. Let's see how quickly things can come together so that the Saints in 2024 can make an impact by doing 2 things: 1. Winning the first 3 division games in the first 6 weeks. 2. Finding a way to upset Dallas or Philly. That would at minimum have us 4-2 after 6 weeks and 3-0 in the division. That's a setup for making some noise this season. SFIAH |

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
A healthy Payton Turner is indeed positive news! Now if Foskey's off-season work on technique comes through DE may end up being a major strength for the 2024 Saints.

Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
Curious to see how the run game looks under Kubiak. I was a big fan when his dad was in Denver and how much he got out of the RB position, even from players who were not thought of as potentially great.
Other than Davis and Werner, do we have any linebackers? Willie Gay is a question mark still. Seriously, do we have any others? OL - who plays where, and can they stay healthy? Very excited to see the WR battle in camp and pre-season. There's a chance this could be the best position group on the team and perhaps the best group in the history of the Saints. |

Our whole staff at this point are as follows ...
I know the team is really high on both Orji and the 5th round selection, Jaylon Ford. |
Re: The 2024 Sunshine Oasis: Positive Saints Talk Only
For anyone concerned about Dennis Allen doing the same things over and over ...
How suddenly 'cool' Saints coach Dennis Allen is hoping to change himself – and the Saints When training camp begins Wednesday in Irvine, California, Allen will look to build upon the camaraderie that he has spent so much of the last few months establishing with players. In a season that’s setting up to be crucial for his job security, Allen told the Times-Picayune he determined the Saints needed “significant change.” That change was headlined by a new offensive staff, but the full extent of Allen’s vision went deeper. If the Saints needed to change, Allen needed to change with them. The messages players heard for years from the no-nonsense, defensive-minded teacher had to be presented differently. No matter how much it takes them by surprise. “You could tell guys in the room, they’re like, 'DA is cool now,' ” safety Tyrann Mathieu said. ... Then this year, Allen scrapped most of his offensive staff. Out went Pete Carmichael and in came Klint Kubiak. “Continuity is important,” Allen said. “But continuity is only important if you’re continuing to get the results you’re looking for. “To have continuity and not have the results is insanity.” Much more here ... |

Willie Gay is > than Zach Baun & I don’t even think it’s close.
Keep an eye on Gay vs Pete Werner @ camp. |
