WR: Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Adrian Arrington, Matt Simon
TE: Jeremy Shockey, David Thomas, Tory Humphrey, Tyler Lorenzen, Jimmy Graham (R)
LT: Jammal Brown, Jermon Bushrod, Jeremy Parnell, Charles Brown (R)
LG: Carl Nicks, Brandon Carter (R), Joe Tonga (R)
C: Jonathan Goodwin, Nick Leckey, Matt Tennant (R)
RG: Jahri Evans, Tim Duckworth
RT : Jonathan Stinchcomb, Zach Strief, Na'Shan Goddard
WR : Devery Henderson, Robert Meachem, Courtney Roby, Rod Harper , Chris Bell (R)
QB: Drew Brees, Chase Daniel , Sean Canfield (R), AJ McKenna (R)
FB: Heath Evans, Marcus Mailei, Zak Keasey
RB: Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas, Lynell Hamilton, Carlos Brown (R), Christian Ducre (R), Chris Ivory (R)
LDE: Alex Brown, Jimmy Wilkerson, Brandon Sharpe (R), Junior Gallette (R)
LDT: Sedrick Ellis, Anthony Hargrove, Earl Heyman, Jay Ross (R)
RDT : Remi Ayodele, DeMario Pressley, Rodney Leisle , Al Woods (R), Ekom Udofia (R)
RDE: Will Smith, Bobby McCray, Jeff Charleston, Earl Heyman
WLB: Scott Shanle, Jonathan Casillas, Anthony Waters, Harry Coleman (R)
MLB: Jonathan Vilma, Marvin Mitchell
SLB: Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Troy Evans, Stanley Arnoux, Jason Beauchamp (R)
CB: Jabari Greer, Malcolm Jenkins, Leigh Torrence, Greg Fassitt, Marcel Young (R)
SS: Roman Harper, Chris Reis, Chip Vaughn , Ryan Hamilton (R)

CB: Tracy Porter, Randall Gay, Patrick Robinson (R), Reggie Jones, Glenn Sharpe, Rafael Priest (R)

Let the speculation begin on who will make the final 53, who will be let go, traded, or repositioned (or even what positions need upgrades).

Good Job !!

realheavyd · 05-03-2010, 11:30 PM

Not sure if I arranged them all in the right places or not, but I know I got all the players and all the assigned numbers because I took them directly from the Saints official website.

Some interesting notes: Jabari Greer's requested number change from #32 to #33 and LSU's Harry Coleman, who played both SS and OLB for them, being given Scott Fujita's old number of 55 and being listed on the website as a LB instead of a S. I did read that he was already up to 216 lbs from his college playing weight of 206 and I imagine the Saints trainers will be working with him to get him up to around 225 or so by the start of training camp in two months (quite possible)...

LDT: Sedrick Ellis, Anthony Hargrove, Earl Heyman, Jay Ross (R)
RDT : Remi Ayodele, DeMario Pressley, Rodney Leisle , Al Woods (R), Ekom Udofia (R)

I'm sorry, but with the exception of Ellis, and Hargrove, there are too many question marks on this group. And as I said in another post, what if one of these two go down in some freak injury? What do we do then? I just can't believe there are people that think LB is more important than DT at this point. If you have a good DT stopping the run at the line, then it makes it easier on the LBs to do their jobs anyway. Right?

There won't be questions for long.

Remember that Al Woods and Jay Ross are both players whom the coaches liked going into the draft. Ekom Udofia is lesser-known but (at 6'3" 315lb) he certainly anchored the defensive line at Stanford by absorbing multiple blockers and letting his LB's roam free.

* Read my blog about Jay Ross here: http://blackandgold.com/blogs/saints...ond-rough.html

IMO, Remi Ayodele gets pushed off the ball way too often and doesn't have what it takes to anchor the defensive line next to Ellis. I look for all of these guys not only to push Demarrio "you 'aint nuthin' but a hound dog" Pressley but to eventually supplant Ayodele as starters.

people build up hargrove for the couple plays he made this season......and i was impressed with him coming out of basically nowhere

but he didnt start.....he couldnt start.....and had very limited playing time

the only reason im happy with him at DT is because he made the most of his limited opportunities.....however, there is definitly a reason he only played a handful of snaps

i like hargrove but i dont think its right to lump him with ellis and say our starting DTs are fine

and remi started last year when clancy went down.....but i hope we found remi's replacement because he was part of the reason we stunk

look for al woods and ekom udofia to push for some serious playing time in their rookie seasons

True that Hargrove made the most of his opportunities. But I think the reason he played limited snaps had more to do with his inexperience and less about his abilities.

this has to be sed's year he's got to be that impact player that turns this defense around and puts us in that top ten. it will be defense that puts us back in the playoffs. teams will be getting better around us. atlanta will be up our butts. not so worried about carolina and tampa yet
