Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

Yeah you can tell its mostly based on player experience

I've got a feeling champ bailey won't be starting at RCB and will only come in on obvious nickel downs - like 3rd and longs

Also I don't expect cadet to be our punt returner, cooks will be doing that

Robert Meachem?

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

Andy Tanner's on the list? He's even listed ahead of Joe Morgan.

Did not see that comin.

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

That depends; if Cooks has a significant part in the offense he won't be returning kicks. My opinion anyway...

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

Probably because Stills has been injured. It's a reflection of the current depth chart but, when the season starts, Stills will be the #2

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

WR is the only position that sparks my interest.... 1 think they keep six....

1. Colston
2. Cooks
3. Stills
4. Toon
5. Coleman

6.... this is the interesting part to me... Morgan, Meacham, Tanner for one spot...

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

I agree. If he can contribute, and reports on his performance at camp says that he will, they won't risk it.
If they thought he wasn't ready they might put him on punt returns for experience, but I think he will contribute immediately and is an honest ROY candidate.

I could see Payton putting him on punt returns. At least initially.

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

Agreed. Payton will want his best players to get their hands on the ball on every possible possession.

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

Confusing to say the least. M.I.A. starting at RB and PT in 3rd??????

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

Yeah, I caught that too. I don't know if it means much.

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

I think it's being looked at as no separation between first, second and third. Kind of like, "Hey you in the gold helmet, go out and run that ball!"

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

I actually expect Cadet to perform much of the punt return duties. Cooks is probably better at it, but the team could play through a Cadet injury much better than it could play through a Cooks injury.

Re: Saints first unofficial preseason depth chart is out
 

Yeah I was looking at that. I don't think it means anything.
