Re: 2012 New Orleans Saints Depth Chart

I said it in many threads recently that they would not cut Hall, because he is McMahon's golden boy and can step right in to replace Collins if he gets hurt.

They really do need a backup FB for Kromer's running schemes and while David Thomas can presumably play as a FB, I wouldn't want to put him there with his recent troubles with concussions.

Good points about the blocking scheme and Thomas...

Re: 2012 New Orleans Saints Depth Chart

S Jerico Nelson and G Ricky Henry so far to the Saints Practice Squad...

Released/Cut/Former Saints:

C Matt Tennant claimed by Patriots

C Brian Folkerts claimed by Bucs

Nice player to have had:

LB Tank Carder (drafted by Bills) claimed by Browns

DB Drayton Florence DEN, formerly BUF claimed by DET

Players of note:

TE Kellen Winslow SEA, formerly TB, was cut; guess the U Alum aka F**KING SOLDIER had nothing left...

LB Bobby Carpenter, NE, formerly DAL, was cut; he's vested but could be signed after Week 1 so that his contract isn't guranteed - but who'll sign him if the Saints wanted him?!?

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

Re: 2012 New Orleans Saints Depth Chart

***Update***

A Couple of Hours ago - the Saints Practice Squad was announced:
SS Jerico Nelson
OG Ricky Henry (from Nebraska, signed as UFAR by Chicago in 2011, then released this season)
TE Michael Higgins
OG Harland Gunn (from U of Miami, signed as UFAR by Dallas in 2012, then released final cuts)
WR Andy Tanner
DE Braylon Broughton
DB Nick Hixson
LB Ezra Butler

Really Like Nelson to develop as a FS and both Guards we signed; glad to see Andy Tanner stick around...

I'm especially glad to see Higgins, Tanner and Broughton make the PS along with the other guys.

Interesting to see them pick up another Nebraska O-lineman in Henry, it sure panned out well with Nicks and they drafted Marcel Jones out of Nebraska too this year, so there must be something they put in the water over there.

Nelson didn't really flash for me in the preseason, but I trust your evaluation on him and hopefully he can become a contributor in the coming years along with the other safety Bush.

Re: 2012 New Orleans Saints Depth Chart

Sadly, can't find any quality video of Harland Gunn other than him running his mouth - which there are plenty of videos of him doing that...

This guy went to the "U" and prepped in Omaha, Nebraska?!? Oh man, this guy is gonna end up a traveling salesman...

Re: 2012 New Orleans Saints Depth Chart

Spagnuolo has been real smitten with Nelson - New Orlean Saints | Blog | Spagnuolo Says Undrafted Rookie S Jerico Nelson has Been “Very Impressive”

Prepped at Destrehan; played in the SEC at Arkansas; he was a very good Safety - it's just that LSU and Alabama had better...

He's just a little undersized, not an exceptional burner; but he's a great football player; he may need some time to learn the pro game and this could be the spot...
