Running Back, if Thomas continues to have one oof those lingering injuries, Ingram may win the job by default...

Throw Chase Thomas, Eric Martin and Rufus Johnson to the fire - either they can play or not - and we find out now...

Those Smith and Harper contracts really suck b@lls...

The Big Test will be @Houston - then the first set of cuts the following Tuesday...

Seneca Wallace released

K Major

Did Chase Thomas even play in the Oakland game? I didn't recall seeing him out there or at least they didn't mention his name.

Three positions watching in the Houston game...

Inside Linebacker: Lofton is in; Hawthorne & Humber can solidify their positions; Herring has size, experience; Chamberlain, proven special teamer, has to demonstrate he can make plays from scrimmage; Reddick and Shipman will have to show, despite inexperience, the talent and impact is close to Humber, Herring, Chamberlain - making it a financial decision...

Defensive Line: Jordan, Hicks, Bunkley, Jenkins are in; Walker and Foster needs that third game to punch their tickets; Johnson being injured is gonna cost him; would rather see Will Smith moved as a reserve DE until his contract expires...

Defensive Back: Lewis, Greer, Vaccaro, Jenkins are in: Harper has not looked good, but, like Smith, is a bad contract the team is stuck; Bush should be safe, in fact, he outplayed Jenkins and Harper at the end of last season; Abdul-Quddus is having a non-eventful training camp which can be dangerous for a reserve, but, like Bush, he outplayed the starting safeties at the end of last season; Nelson can't seem to get the reps to develop; like Jim Leonhard, despite being undersized, and wish he could push Harper and his dead contract away as well as tutor, guide young Vaccaro...

Didn't mention Outside Linebacker because I don't see the Healthy talent level at the position we need and puzzled why the self-proclaimed genius Rob Ryan couldn't find a way to make Chase Thomas fit; not confident as others in Junior Galette; waiting to see if Martez Wilson can play three downs; would love to see Eric Martin play with the ones (as I wanted to see with Chase Thomas); and am amazed that the Saints are pounding Square Peg Smith into the round hole at OLB; Rufus Johnson seems too big to play OLB...

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