- Danny Clark's release signals they want to get younger, faster at linebacker; and yet Shanle is still sticking around...
- Cornerbacks need to get healthy; really getting banged up in Training Camp
- Defensive Line is as deep as it's ever been; Rogers a little out of shape but will come around
- Arrington please come back to the light - we want you to make it here
- Is Charles Brown's slow recovery why the Saint signed Tackle Jordan Black?
- Will Smith Suspension may be in limbo per PFT article
- Will Herring, who was projecting to cover Tight Ends as a nickel back, may be playing three downs
- keep hearing good things about rookie free agents Isa Abdul-El Quddus and Andre McDaniel; would like to hear more details from staff...
- Tennant, Strief, Brown are the OL reserves, is there another Nicks or Evans among them or at training camp?
- You know, there really aren't that many holes to fill...

The depth chart when it comes to the LB corps may one of Linebacker by Committee; on the Nola.com/Saints video section, Casillas suggests just that...

Jonathan Casillas says the linebacker rotation possible rotation for New Orleans Saints - Video | NOLA.com

Maybe Williams must have wanted to be a hockey coach that "changes the line"; that would be incredible to just change a whole corps of linebackers after so many plays in the middle of a drive...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

- Was the emphasis to Roby and Humphrey in the offense a staff need for evaluation? or were the coaches doing these vets a solid of getting them exposure as their release is a forgone conculsion?

- Just how serious is the Johnny Patrick injury? Injuries at cornerback are a serious issue even more so now...

- Offense definitely had its rust; not a good test in the 49ers

- Williams ignores NFL Gentlemen's agreement and blitzes crazy

- Morgan shows the greater Saints Nation what the buzz has been all about. Now, does Adrian Arrington answer the bell?

- At Defensive Tackle, Tom Johnson looks like he could be a solid NFL pro; Mitch King will not go quietly away and shows some fire...

- Nate Bussey has the talent to play at the NFL level; Casillas is a smart, instictive player with poor injury history and size for OLB...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

- Best Wishes to Stinchcomb...

- Aside from the salary cap savings, that move will be sure to cool down the Hot Tub...

- That's alot of turnover on the offensive line...

- Does Charles Brown step up at Left Tackle or become the Tackle-eligible or make the team???

- I take back my too many cornerbacks comment from last week...

- New Rule: You can never have too man cornerbacks...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I think FinSaint was asking about Tom Johnson; he looks solid candidate to make squad as there isn't a whole lotta 3-tech tackles on the squad; but his play has been solid, he's a little older - so there's maturity; and he has a favorable contract...

FinSaint

Oh no you caught me... and I was trying to be so discrete about it!

"Honorary Fan Club President of Tom Johnson" ...and Don Johnson

RockyMountainSaint

Don't apologize Fin.
Everyone has their "sleeper" favorites.

You should have been around here a few years back to read the predictions about this guy:For N.F.L. Draft, the Biggest (XXXXXXL) Sleeper - New York Times

Walter Thomas- OMG! He can do a forward flip!

FinSaint

Not apologizing... just surprised that my cover was blown.


The true sleeper is in fact Don Johnson... I have a feeling that they're going to revive Miami Vice just like they did with Knight Rider. So,

it'll probably be like Miami Vice 2000 or something similarly riveting. And once again Don Johnson is going to be on the lips of everyone...

since he is naturally going play the leading role as Crockett... and the real hook is that the show is still gonna take place in the '80's

even though the name might make you think otherwise. Oh, and Michael Mann is definitely gonna direct it.

By the way... David Caruso clearly stole his "sunglass move."

Disregard. Just saw the last page with the 'complete' roster.
