SAM I AM: Saints LB Anthony’s Versatility Has Always Been His Calling Card by Barry Hirstius

K Major

Good kid, ready to embrace the challenge of learning a new position and responsibilities on the field.

Stephone has a great attitude (reflective of leadership) & he is hungry.

Don't know what kind of force he's gonna be as an interior defender with his size...

But have been very impressed with the little bit of interviews I've seen of Sheldon Rankins so far...

Very Mature, Very Grounded, Very Straightforward - Really liking this young man already and can see his attitude permeating through the locker room...

New Orleans Saints not sure what they have in QB Garrett Grayson - New Orleans Saints Blog- ESPN

Not sure what they have? Should have had an idea when we spent a 3rd round pick on the guy!

K Major

Or maybe Grayson takes a similar path as ARod up in Green Bay. We have an innovator in Sean Payton as our offensive coach.

Payton did wonders in the initial development of Tony Romo. GG could be next.

Drew Brees seemed to have a sense of resignation in his facial expressions, body language and talking tone at the charity softball game...

Saints are in no hurry to cut a new deal as they can wait see his level of play as well as his health at the end of the season...

Maybe the uncertainty of "after this season" could be stirring something up, and that could be a good thing...

Though he's certainly made enough cash, it's the idea of the next chapter and not having a deal that has him here, again, is what I speak of...

And as I'm a Saints' fan foremost, it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit if we gave the new kid, Grayson, a chance after two mediocre seasons...

Watching Brees play like a fantasy football stud is all well and good, but after a while, I'd like a steak with all the sizzle...

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

New Orleans Saints' Andrus Peat likes not having to play catch-up as he gets lean | NOLA.com

Really need to change the BS rules that restrict players from pursing their chosen profession...

New Orleans Saints rookie Michael Thomas earns Drew Brees' trust - New Orleans Saints Blog- ESPN

Well, that's encouraging, but it is just practice...

Let's see it this season on a third and long that we need in a tough game during a heavily pitched battle...

That's exactly how I think it'll look JP. Agreed 100%. Everything looks solid but that Leo position still looks like the weak link. I love Kikaha and Edebali but I'm not in love with relying on them.

jeanpierre

Payton seems to have mad man crush for Seattle's defense...

They'll probably rotate Richardson, Onyemata opposite Cam in the base and bring Kikaha/Edebali in on the edges on passing downs, maybe both with Cam sliding inside with Rankins/Fairley...
