New Orleans Saints Training Camp Day Off: Early Peak at Depth Chart

realheavyd · 08-08-2011, 11:00 PM

Here is a nice overview of the Saints' current roster with the obvious starters and their most immediate backups indicated, as well as the larger battles (ie outside linebackers, last WR spot and backup corners and safeties) and guys to keep your eyes on to either make the squad or just miss in the final cuts.

Enjoy and use to debate exactly who you think will make the final 53.

Lets hope we don't see too much of this ...Harper in coverage..lol

Thanks for the writeup D...its going to be interesting for sure..I still think Shanle might get replaced with Ingrm....have you been out at camp?..whats your take on the LBs...who is making plays?

realheavyd · 08-08-2011, 11:19 PM

Harper on TE's you mean? I think they like that LB from Seattle, Will Herring, for his coverage skills as a nickle LB to stick with the final roster for just that purpose. We shall see how well he does pretty soon I reckon! Did you agree with the breakdown, for the most part? Who's your final 53, or is it still too soon to call at a few spots?

I agree with what you got here...im kinda thinking Sharper might sign after camp...i dunno

Did you happen to hear him talk on the radio to Brian Alle-Walsh earlier today? He hinted at coming back, but only if he doesn't find the perfect fit elsewhere to get back to the Super Bowl and to be "the man" at his position to start and play every defensive down, because he is in such great shape over the offseason. He knows that he would only be a situational player as a backup to Jenkins and Harper and that is the only thing keeping him from signing on the dotted line for the Saints right now. He even talked about how he loves the new additions on the D-line and through the draft.

Darn..well he cant unseat Jenkins thats for sure...wish he would just take the backup spot..

realheavyd · 08-08-2011, 11:42 PM

Maybe he will when it comes down to game time. Maybe all he has offers from are teams like the Jaguars, who have no QB and no plan to get to the Big Dance at all yet, huh?

strato · 08-08-2011, 11:43 PM

I hope so ..still think he can play.

realheavyd · 08-08-2011, 11:49 PM

Well, they haven't given up number 42 to anyone new, so I think they are holding out hope that he will eventually decide that this is where he needs to finish his career in total glory with another couple of Super Bowls in a row before retiring from the game for good.

We shall see soon enough, right?

First preseason game for us is Friday night!

Who Dat!?!?!?
