Ok Guys, Maybe not that far along yet, But....


The Kid is looking impressive in the preseason, which i expect of any young rook trying to make a squad. I've literally waited to see Coach Payton put this kin in towards the end of games to see what he can do. From what i've gathered i'd love to see what kind of talent he displays running with the ones. Great pass catcher, runs the screen well(which we love to call) and runs hard and through defenders while displaying great balance...kind of like What i saw in Eddie Lacy this last preseason game. Now I'm not saying he is the next big thing or should be 1 or 2 on the depth chart, but i think so far he deserves to be in "the Best 53" as Payton has been saying. I was never sold on Cadet he had a decent preseason last year, but was irrelevant last year in the time he received and in this years preseason, especially with the two fumbles this past friday. Khiry has looked impressive despite running behind the same line and fewer opportunities.

What are some of yalls thoughts here? either on Khiry or any other Young buck

How about Khiry 1.0? His name isn't Chris Ivory.

Yeah, I'm impressed, he should make the 53. He should replace Ingram, if Ingram doesn't step up, of course.

Yes, have a UDFA replace the first round pick who lead the team in rushing last season instead of the other UDFA who can't hang onto the football during the preseason.

Cadet is the one who can't hang onto the ball. The only reason Ingram lead the team in rushing, is because they fed him the ball more than any other player. Don't get me wrong, I think Ingram has some special talent, he's just not the right player for our team. Khiry is better, from what I've seen so far. He has more explosiveness than Ingram or Ivory (He was running straight up the middle just like Ingram, and Khiry was still getting more yards than Ingram). Yes, It was the Raiders, and it was preseason, but Khiry made their defense look even worse than it actually was. I think Khiry has a great future ahead of him, with the Saints.

Its funny you referred him to Chris Ivory because ever since I saw his running style, thats who he reminds me of.

I still like Cadet though.

Cadet sure had a rough night. I felt better on his returns though... he looked
like he had a comfortable handle there...

Robinson was very impressive. Even stopped to barf on the sideline, which
amazes me, because I dont like to run on an upset stomach. I hope he
feels better. He looked like a bullet.

Haha! When I first saw the subject line, I thought he'd hurt his hammy!

Danno

He looks much more promising than Ivory did, and I was pimping Chris 3 days into his rookie camp.

They have different running styles and Robinson has much better moves and vision.

I just don't understand the Ivory comparisons at all, other than he wears #29.

SaintsBro

Yeah, barfing on the sidelines then going back in the game = automatic roster spot on team SaintsBro

Why did we draft #22 again and give up the picks to get him?
