Saints Promote WR Seantavius Jones from Practice Squad

Looks like Payton is going back to his original formula for success. Now who takes KV spot.

Glad Jones is to be given a chance! . . . . That puts out a message to the rest of the team that even in this late stage in the season, Payton is willing to give some new blood a try and that no ones guaranteed a playing spot if they don't perform.

Colston and the rest of the gang better make sure they don't drop the passes on Monday or we may see even more new names on the field for the next game!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Maybe we could IR a couple of guys and raid another teams PS and get reinforcements from there. Surely, we've been keeping an eye for good players on other teams PS's in case our back ups go down like this year.

Jalen Saunders needs to see the field more!

From what SP said today, no one.

I didn't hear the interview, but comments I read say he's going to have a different role.
Sounds like he's gonna go back to the big nickel role in three safety sets which he excelled at last year. So it's technically not a benching, but it sounds like he's not gonna be the SS in two safety sets anymore.

Change is good and potentially a diamond in the rough.

Speaking of dropped passes, who's taking Graham's spot at TE this week?

If Graham's shoulder is truly as injured as they say then someone needs to take his place. He's good but a one armed TE is a liability in all phases.

Yeah...

Not much "change" has been talked about, even with the KV 'benching' we all know he will be playing in the game and not much has changed. The cutting of Morgan was news but how that will fix this D is puzzling, third best offense and we cut WRs...

I am interested to see the Bears game, I want to see what changes have actually been made.

The only change will be better effort from players. You can't make players play significantly better if talent isn't there. Yes, few players can be better/smarter on defense (Galette, Vaccaro) but most of the guys are playing at their talent level ( slow LBs, soft D-linemen, below average CBs...)

On offense solid O-line protection and reduced number of drops would be nice.
