Wow, there was video evidence of a Kenny Vaccaro interception...

Where is THAT guy?!?

lee909 · 05-03-2015, 08:28 AM

Fingers crossed he either has the Strong Safety bug out of his system and goes back to the moving piece that he was as a rookie or that he has bulked up and worked on wrapping up in the tackle.

I think its best that last year is just dumped in the trash can and everyone starts with a fresh clean slate. Everyone is better than they showed last year. Lets clear out the negative vibes and character issue of last year and use it as kindling to light a fire

Some great camp battles to look forward to in preseason

QB2
McCown trying to hold off Griffin and Grayson

RB
Spiller/Ingram/Robinson/Hightower/Murphy

FB
Actually looking forward to seeing who wins out of Lorig and Johnson

WR
Obviously Colston and Cooks are one and two but be interesting to watch Toon/Coleman/Jones/Morgan and Saunders trying to take spots 3-5

TE
Interested in seeing what Orson Charles can do. There is talent there

Oline
Who wins out at LG,Does Strief hold off Peat or does Armstead get pushed inside to LG with Peat at LT.

Linebacker
The inside looks like Anthony and Ellerbe
The outside looks interesting with multiple rushers there. Could see lots of rotation with Galette,Spencer,Kikaha,Tull,Powell and the ever reliable Haralson.

Little shorter than id like on the defensive line but interesting to see what John Jenkins turns up this year. Hopefully the promising big boy of 2013. Should be able to tell but the shape he turns up to at camp

DB
Some massive amounts of potential here

SS
Vaccaro,Phillips,Sanford,Sunseri,Marcus Ball

FS
Byrd,Warren,Bush,Zimmerman

CB
Keenan Lewis CB
Brandon Browner
P.J. Williams
Delvin Breaux
Brian Dixon
Terrence Frederick
Stanley Jean-Baptiste
Damian Swann
Kyle Wilson

Is Byrd ready to go, or is he still going through rehab?

A brief post draft report by a writer whose undoubted talents are being badly wasted.

Been a fan since the wild card game against Phily in 2014. I'm a newbie!

Greatest moment would be winning that game against the Eagles as it was the game that made me support the Saints.

Lowest moment would be getting flogged by the Falcons at the Dome last year. Terrible terrible game.

My favourite player is Brees. I loved Graham too. Big fan of Lewis and Cooks. Really enjoy watching Colston play. He took some ripper catches last year. Can't wait to see Browner and Spiller in the Black and Gold!

Absolutely love NFL!

	"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
