Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

cool, good news then... we are definitely on a youth movement. Feels like we are a year or two away still.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

We've got a logjam on the defensive line...

DE (2) Akiem Hicks, Bobby Richardson (URFA)

NT (2) John Jenkins, Ashaad Mabry (URFA)

DT (2) Kevin Williams (FA), Tyeler Davison (R5, #154), Kaleb Eulls (URFA)

LEO (2) Cameron Jordan, Tavaris Barnes (URFA)

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Wow Eulls made the team too. So Richardson, Barnes, Mabry and Eulls all made it. That's crazy.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Hightower, Spiller, MI, Robinson, Murphy and Johnson. 6 rbs. Wonder what position we will be short at?

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

LOVE the youth movement ... lot of potential in this bunch.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

This is NOT going to be our roster in a few weeks...

Once CJ Spiller, Khiry Robinson, Keenan Lewis, Brandon Browner return...

Oh and that safety...

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

On the offensive line it's Senio Kelemete vs Mike McGlynn and McGlynn has outplayed him...

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Kenny Phillips has made the team.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Really, really liked him with the Giants...

He was really starting to improve and get to game speed throughout preseason...

Feel alot better having him back there patrolling center field...

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

That young D line looks great. Thanks for the post Jean P! You're right though, some people will be cut when the vets come back.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Think about it BDub, we may be protecting them for potential trade move?

Somebody is obviously interested...

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

When do practice squad pick ups begin?

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Maybe not... Maybe we've just had piss poor play from our D-Line and no real rotation at all so coach wants to load up in the trenches.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Lets ya know the injuries may not be as bad as they thought.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Im ok with this. To take a "project" with the 2nd pick was just beyond retarded.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

That draft class? lol

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

So Baker is gone which means Hightower made the squad.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

The Saints waived tight end Chris Manhertz, linebacker Jerry Franklin, offensive lineman Nick Becton and running back Edwin Baker

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Well using a 2nd round on a project is not as bad as using a 13th pick on a tackle that can't beat the competition and start week one only be a reserve instead, fantastic.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Things are shaking out kinda weird... 5 RB's, 4 WR's and 2 TE's.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

thats silly, strief is a great tackle

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

injuries, this will change

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Strief is indeed a great tackle. That wasn't his point though... It was a waste of such a high pick.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

i disagree, strief is aging, and peat's gonna be just fine for us. him sitting a year is not a waste, especially if someone goes down

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

But conventional thinking is, if your taken with the #13 pick, you should be expected to start.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

idk if that's true.certainly a fan's perspective..

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Maybe not since the rookie wage scale but you would like to think your #1 pick in the draft would be a starter.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

rb, yeah, but other positions it can be a toss up. theres probably some guys taken in front of him not starting this year

i hear what you're saying, but I think once you're outside top 10 it's not definite.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

explain to me the love of Brian Dixon?

explain to me the hate of Warren?

explain to me giving up on SJB just one year after drafting him in the second, knowing he was a project?

Explain to me who is to shoulder the blame if this all goes south? Dennis Allen? Rob Ryan? Or both?

I am so stumped.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Nope, barring injury they're all starting.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

really? i read trae wayans wasn't unless it changed

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

I hope Ireland was not in charge of the Peat pick.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

I would think its because the vikings already have Munnerlyn and Rhodes.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

right, we already have strief, that was my original point. thanks for agreeing

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Me too!! I do like Dixon though. Giving up on Baptiste is bads and cutting Warren is just stupid. If this D stinks up the joint all of the D side coaches need fired and Payton needs his feet on a slippery bannana peel for trusting in them. This D better be good cause by mid season if their not we're sunk.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

i have seen nothing that makes me believe our defense will be good, but god i have never wanted to be so wrong

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

i love swann

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

I see nothing either. I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong but I doubt it.
