When do you think he is ready to contribute? I haven`t heard any news on how he is performing in scrimmages.

I agree that it`s doesn`t make any sense to throw him out there when the coaches know that he would be eaten alive by Vinc Jackson or Mike Evans.

Year 2 tough it´s time for him to show up - was the same with Graham and Shockey in the first year.

Let the vets start out of respect, then play all the youngsters for most of the game.

On offense, play Graham, Colston, and Ingram sparingly

On defense, play all the young guys, play White at FS. Lets see what we have going forward.

Discover who the quitters are and purge.

Play to win but use it as an extra preseason game to evaluate.
Completely agree with sitting Drew for this one.

In all honesty I think we have no chance against TB.

Correction: Fredrick was a 7th rd pick last yr

I have liked what I have seen out of Fredrick thus far. He will definitely be in the mix for 2015.

Because Dixon and Warren are so seasoned and ready to play, right? Hell for all we know SJB might be the second-best corner on the roster. It's hard to trust some of the personnel choices considering we've been starting trash like Goodwin and Hawthorne when their backups were better players.

TB is playing "hard" for that high pick and franchise QB. I'm not sure they let us lose the game.

Humber played better than Hawthorne when he was on the field.

The players on the field want to keep their jobs. They aren't gonna just lie down.

Just win, and find the guys on the team who still want to be Saints!
