Kenny Stills, Joe Morgan and Odell Jr..... I can dig it

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

I'm hoping Morgan is 100% going into camp. I still have question marks on his route running.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

That's because there are bigger question marks about his ability to stay healthy. :bng:

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

As scouts have pointed out, he's below average coming out of the blocks, but fast once he gets up to speed.

His speed is fine considering most WR/CB races begin after the first few steps and after contact anyway.

Yeah, if he ran a 4.9 I'd avoid him, but a 4.7 doesn't drop him off the board considering all his other skills/measurables.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

Ill twist that for ya a little. We had a huge issue this season with WRs coming out of blocks slowly. Seattle exploits that.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

But it wasn't start speed that was the problem, it was disengaging physical CB's. I think thats a physicality problem, not a first jump problem.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

Wouldn't first jump quickness and power be the key to preventing full engagement making disengaging easier?

As an offensive lineman I went up against bigger and stronger linemen but I was quicker to get out of my stance, load hands and get my power underneath me.

If a WR can get in a CBs face quicker he isn't taking on 100% of that CBs momentum.

ESPN Triplett: Trent Dilfers thoughts on New Orlenas Saints-Seattle Seahawks - ESPN

On whether the Seahawks are as good as any team in the NFL today at disrupting receivers’ routes:

Dilfer: “Yes, Pete [Carroll] and his staff have done a great job in kind of bringing back the ‘80s secondary play. And I know they’re gonna deny this, but there’s no denying it -- they’re convinced that the refs are only gonna throw about 15 flags a game. And they’re not gonna throw all 15 of those in the secondary. So they might get four to six thrown on ‘em. But they figure, if a team’s gonna throw the ball 40 times and we’re gonna get physical 40 times, they’re not gonna call more than six [penalties]. So they’re really playing the odds with how they play in the secondary.

I agree with this. I LOVE Jarvis Landry(dude tackles like Gleason on special teams and blocks like an animal too). But Beckam is a great returner, which we desperately need and he can stretch the defense which we need even more. I'm gonna say something now which I notice. Payton has drafted very few local players. The fans love it...ala...(Dalton Hilliard, Eric Martin, Bobby Hebert) I'd love Jarvis Landry, Beckam, J.C. Copeland, Ego Ferguson, the wideout from Tulane. Give me one of em at least please Sean Payton.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

That does sound good

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

Exactly ! I'm glad he ran slow. Maybe we can get a stud player in the third or later.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

I disagree with this on at least some levels. I think Landry was a better college player. If you need a Chris Carter type who had probably the best hands in college football last year-Jarvis Landry. If you need a Reggie Wayne type who can fly and stretch the defense-Odell Beckham. Beckhams 40 time will move him ahead of Landry in the draft because Landry produced more at LSU.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

I so agree with this but Sean Payton doesn't like LSU players. We don't draft em. I say make it four players and get JC Copeland too. Wait Ego Ferguson too.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

I still think we take bps unless its a TE or QB. I'm more excited to see what gems we find this year late in the draft and in the UDFA class. It seems like year in year out we find someone there that can produce immediately.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

What you do in College doesn't mean you are going to be good in the NFL.

Re: Saints 'would be a perfect fit,' Odell Beckham Jr. says
 

Odell isn't going to be on the board when we pick.
