New Orleans Saints: Three most intriguing positional battles
 

The New Orleans Saints will be headed to Greenbrier, West Virginia to start training camp on July 24th. With all the offseason issues finally being resolved, it is time for players to get down to business and get ready for the upcoming season. For the established players, this will be a period to get back into shape, but for others this will be a time to compete for depth chart position.

One position that will present the most competition and intrigue will the second cornerback spot. Keenan Lewis is firmly entrenched on one side as the number one cornerback. However, the other side will have some healthy competition between free agent and future hall of famer Champ Bailey, third year player Corey White, and rookie Stanley Jean-Baptiste.

Should be interesting in camp. I'm not sure Toon is a future replacement for Colton tho. Colton got where he is by being smart. He came in and immediately made an impact. Toon has just disappointed so far.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pulling for the kid to improve and get better. But I wouldn't bet on him.

who ever the last couple of WR spots are besides Colston, Stills, and Cooks are the most interesting camp battles to me... My money was on this kid Brandon Coleman to replace Colston by seasons end. He's got to do enough to make the team though.

Wow, I can't see that happening at all.

I am interested in Coleman versus Morgan, Toon, Meachem and Tanner.

Re: New Orleans Saints: Three most intriguing positional battles
 

The size of Coleman and Graham along with the speed of Cooks could be fun to watch... Nightmares for the defense when they get on the field at the same time

These are the interesting ones to me. I would not be surprised if we end up keeping both kickers. SP has done it a couple of times in the past in a similar situation.

I fully expect Lelito to win the starting center job, but I have to admit even if Goodwin is not what he used to be, the familiarity between him and Brees could be a big advantage.

If I had to guess I'd say White wins the #2 CB, Bailey is the nickel and P-Rob is an unfortunate cap cut. and it pains me to say that because I like P-Rob a lot.


Coleman had a really bad minicamp. I don't think he'll play this year.

he won't be a 'cap' cut this year unless we have a rash of injuries and burn thru $5 million

5) Linebacker - Salaries may dictate, but I'd Like a LB Corps of Gallette, Humber, Fortt, Powell...

same as above
decisions can be made based on talent now that we've cleaned house

My thought is we are all-in with Champ. If he is healthy, he will start. I'd take P-Rob over White also.

QUESTION- we know Lelito gives us depth at guard as well. If Goodwin doesn't win the starting job, will he even get a roster spot?
I guess the question is, if Grubbs or Evans get hurt in a game, is the plan to move Lelito and bring in Goodwin at C, or would we dress a true guard?
