Sean Payton: "Competition is Strong Right Now"

How do you view Travaris Cadet right now?

“It’s interesting with him and I am just getting a little more familiar with the player. Seeing him last year was one thing, but he is someone that catches the ball really well in the backfield. I’m anxious to see how his running skills are, because Darren Sproles is a guy, as good as he is as a receiver, we feel like he has a running skill set that suits what we want to do in our one-back runs. I think in Cadet’s case, it’s year two and he is learning what specifically is the role (for him). Obviously he is a guy that is comfortable in the passing game, and I think it’s going to be important that he can protect. I think he is big enough and smart enough too. It’s just a matter of getting repetitions in learning who he is blocking and the technique on how to block. Those things will allow him then to be a little more versatile, and it’s not as predictable when he is in the backfield as a guy that is just going to go out in the routes.”

i am really hoping he steps up this year and his blocking improves. IMO he is the reason the saints felt ok trading Ivory. They rolled the dice and now it is up to him. with his skill set, DS and PT are the two that can mentor this kid. he is in good hands

break out player in 2013?

I never thought of that, but you may be right. It may have had little to do with Ingram stepping up and more to do with Cadet's development.

Good food for thought.
