5 New Orleans Saints who hurt their cause to make the roster

Harris is a solid swing tackle. I'm not worried about him. He's done well in games when it counted. As for Marcel Jones, the fact they moved him to guard says to me they don't have faith in him as a tackle. And with Kelemete being so good at guard, I don't see why they would keep Marcel over him.

Isn't Max Starks available? solid stop-gap as a back up tackle.

No real surprises. I might add FB Lorig to this list. WTF? I wish SP would be a little more forthcoming on what's up.

Oh, and Toon? Rose-colored glasses, folks.

Most of us hoped and wanted him to work out...he was part of that notorious 2012 draft, and he was our 2nd pick in that draft. But that was 122nd overall, and remember Toon was a FOURTH round pick in a below-average 2012 wide receiver draft pool. Just go look back at the duds from that 2012 crew. Grant it, it takes WRs 2-4 years to really develop, but come on...this is Toon's 3rd year and he can't make those monster practices translate to the field. I knocked the crap out of the baseball in batting practice and made very few errors in practice, yet I only hit .275 lifetime and I made some egregious errors at crunch time. Point is that an individual's practice mindset can be vastly different from that same individual's game mindset. I'm no Toon, but I think we share this debilitating illness.

I hope we stash Rooks on the PS. He is quite the enigma but the scouts and coaches must have seen something in him that they really liked sine we drafted him and I hope we get to find that out down the line.

Very plausible.
I can't believe any other team has seen enough of him to sign him at this point

I'm thinking that was the plan all along, we must have thought he wouldn't sign with us as an UDFA so we burned a late pick on him.

He's a 2 or 3 year project with a pretty good upside so its hard to complain about burning a late 6th on him.

Not too hard for me, Danno. We whiffed in the 6th. We should've taken an ILB or BPA instead of taking a flier on an unknown.

Coleman and Toon may have notes in their lockers before long after the inconsistent performances...

Ravens RBs were in our defensive backfield waaay too much...
