How do you Americans mean Strief is IR safe?!?

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 

LOL ok all the back ups have been red shirted from injury or have a long history of returning injuries.

now Strief is a vet i am praying goes back to his healthy ways and pulls a full year.

i was so happy to draft an OT that was not a IR gamble for once in a long while.

during and after this year i hope we add some healthy depth to the OT

I fear we are in for a repeat of last year and think we might see it at both tackle spots this year. i hope we do not run out of OT

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 

Right...

Well, limited with picks and then a trade that reduced an already slighted number...

And no cap room as we failed to release/renegotiate that horrible contract with Harper...

Can we find yet another UDRFA?!?

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 

Get on IR and you move to the top of the possible cut list in 2014 or get a iR settlement. Time to move on as they drop.

Stills need time to develop and get his head straight. he maybe the future

Going to need another NT in 2014

Hicks will be #3 by all odds. i think Smith will surprise some people and get the starts job

all up for grabs

hmmm interesting issue

Vacarro? lets see. Harper is my vote for his spot in the future

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 

Coach Payton has said how he admired Coach Parcells for adjusting the thermostats in the training rooms so that players wouldn't get too comfortable in there...

One of the reasons Stills was drafted, praised is because he's NFL ready? Guess we'll see; but if his straightaway speed, hands, route running is there - Lance will have his hands full...

Hagan, you don't think a rotation of Bunkley and Jenkins won't be among the best?!? Okay, we're assuming Jenkins comes in as a Man-Child among the other kids...

Smith will be rotational at best with age, size, etc

I'm coming around to the thinking that if Vacarro shows the range, we'll actually have two Free Safeties; Harper and his contract will hold down the bench...

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 

Coach Payton is "paying closer attention to the measurables"...

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 

Going for the bigger 3-4 LBs...

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 

During the Saints Dome Patrol Day, the only LB under 6-2/6-3 was Sam Mills...

I like Jon Vilma, but you won't mistake him for Sam Mills...
