Yes. Hurries.

It's not Galette's fault receivers were roaming free all season long...

'76, what is a reasonable time per play from scrimmage that a defensive back should have to cover a receiver?

Many of those backfield breakdowns last season were clearly failure of not containing, collapsing the pocket...

There was total suckage to geaux around the entire defense, but the problems in my mind clearly started upfront...

Projected 2015 starters: New Orleans Saints - NFL.com

Lil' Greggie Rosenthal really mails it in when it comes to the Saints...

K Major

I agree with Greg on PJ getting a lot of value time at the nickle position. Interesting I didn't see Ellerbe's name as a starter (Hawthorne being in the middle scares the hell outta me).

Training camp will be a battle .

Wanted ILB Hull in the 7th if we still couldn't see potential in NT Xavier Williams...both UDFAs

My love for this draft is growing...

One guy who went surprisingly undrafted that I really wanted us to get was Michigan St LB Taiwan Jones, 6' 3", 246 lbs...

He was an OLB for three (3) seasons and got asked to move inside linebacker his senior year; so in effect, he played a new position for one season...

Really liked this guy, absolutely hated he signed with the Jets...

We signed another receiver...

(Lance) Lewis, 6-2, 207, comes to New Orleans after spending the entire 2014 campaign on the practice squad of the San Francisco 49ers. Originally signed by the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent out of East Carolina in 2012, Lewis appeared in three games for the Redskins in 2013 after starting the season on their practice squad and was also on the Dallas Cowboys practice roster for Week 17 of that campaign.

The Concord, N.C. native played two seasons at East Carolina and following his senior campaign, ranked first in school record books in touchdown receptions (22), third in receptions (149) and fifth in receiving yardage (1,716).

These are usually the little signings that surprise (i.e. Lance Moore); good size, look forward to seeing what he can do...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Ingram --> "minor" foot issue

He played like warrior last season (contract year) but it is a good thing that we still have Khiry Robinson.

I'm curious to see Spiller in black and gold. I just want to see him finish games (2nd half) on the field and not sitting on the bench.

jeanpierre

And don't forget we've got Tim Hightower as well...
