Re: 2015 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 
A couple of notes:

RB, FB, and TE will have a big affect on one another; if we only deem 4 RB roster, we're likely to keep two FB, for power rushing depth...

Lorig, because of his size, can also line up as a HB, as a TE; so we'd only need to keep Ben Watson and Josh Hill; Tabb and Charles look like camp bodies, unless they do something to stand out...

Dixon showed some terrific moments along with some rookie mistakes; Dixon, along with the two drafted rookies makes it clear SJB as got to do it now, not likely though...

I've thought Galette was gone for some time, and the recent events reinforced that...

Also, should Jalen Saunders show some impact as a slot receiver, i.e. Lance Moore role, his playmaking in the punt return game should warrant awarding him a roster spot as well; he's done more with it than anyone and I'm not crazy about having C.J. Spiller doing that role full-time...

Re: 2015 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 
"IF", Stanley Jean Baptiste were to make this squad, it will require a position change of one of two players and how well another player performs...

Damian Swann was also viewed as converting to a NFL safety...

Really thought Brian Dixon played well; especially as a UDRFA; he will have to win his roster spot...

Pierre Warren showed what range could be gained by playing a player with his size; he stood out with some interceptions, but Corey White had some big interceptions and is no longer with the team...

(Note: As a player gets taller, generally, his wingspan does as well; a guy doesn't just gain two inches of reach because of his height, it could be greater with the longer arms)

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda - Should Pierre Warren falter and Damian Swann show he's got the footwork to stay at CB, Jean-Baptiste could step up and move to and show enough as a Strong Safety (i.e. Kam Chancellor) whereby he could contribute in the kicking game and develop for another season...

Why mention this? I don't see Kenny Vaccaro with this team long term under the present regime...

Vaccaro's and Keenan Lewis' continued dissention over Saints moves (i.e. Galette's release) is going to get them shipped off...

Vaccaro never said anything about the team's moves. Lewis was rewarded with a new contract when he spoke out... Don't know where you're going with that JP.

this is how i see the starting mix opening game

LLB (2) Anthony Spencer (FA), Davis Tull (R5, #148) Kasim Edebali,
WLB (2) David Hawthorne, Stephone Anthony (R1, #31)
MLB (2) Dannell Ellerbe (via Trade) , Ramon Humber
SLB (2) Parys Haralson, Hau'oli Kikaha (R2, #44)

2016

LLB - Davis Tull?????

WLB Stephone Anthony

MLB Dannell Ellerbe - did we get the steeler or dolphin version?

SLB - Hau'oli Kikaha IR concerns

If "sub-rusher." step up that would be huge.
@LLB Ronald Powell ????? Kasim Edebali ?????

Davis Tull appears to be a huge key in what happens to the saints in 2016. can he be that LLB we are looking for?

If not the 2016 nfl draft. OSU might have the answer and I hate OSU with a passion. But talent is there


Josh Perry OLB Ohio St great booby prize RLB - I like this kid!
He just might get over looked a bit and slip in the draft due to the team he is on and not being overly flashy but he is motor guy, high IQ, that does all the small things that jump out on tape at you but does not fill the stats page. He still does get his stats just not enough of the flashy ones. He does need a bridal at times to slow him down.

Then there is the can he stay healthy player
Darron Lee, Ohio State Prototypical 3 down LLB
Here is my athletic LB freak of the draft IMO. Rush, sets the edge, speed to chase RB down and pass coverage skills. This kid is the total package.

I wish players would simply be quiet and play ball.

Re: 2015 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 
And Vaccaro hasn't earned the credibility to talk about ills with the team; he must build that before running his mouth to media...

And he better embrace Payton's message or he will find himself looking for a job...

Now this was an interesting signing, anybody remember the latter new hopeful Saint's name?

Saints officially release Galette, add Kevin Brock, Cole Manhart

Jeremy Warnemuende
29 July 2015

It was simply a matter of formality, but the Saints officially released outside linebacker Junior Galette on Monday.

Also waiving center Mike Brewster with an injury designation, New Orleans signed tight end Kevin Brock and guard Cole Manhart to fill out the 90-man roster...

Brock most recently played for the Bengals...Brock has been on the active roster or practice squads of nine different teams. The Saints had shown interest in another former Bengals tight end, Jermaine Gresham, this offseason, but he recently agreed to a one-year deal with the Cardinals.

Meanwhile, Manhart was signed by the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in May before being released at the end of June. A center in college at Division II Nebraska-Kearney, the 6-foot-6, 310-pound Manhart is expected to be a guard in the NFL...

...The Saints now have a full roster for training camp at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.V. Players report to camp Wednesday, with the first practice coming Thursday.
