JP,
Here are my thoughts on the aforementioned players ...

I only see Tull as a possible cut. Has not been impressive at camp.
Murphy - resolve the fumbling issues & we have a legit threat on punts/kickoffs.
Coleman - inconsistent but he sticks @ the 4th WR.
Lewis - I have no idea but I hope he gets somewhat healthy again. Just don't rush back too soon.
Jenkins - contract year & with the recent Rankins injury, this could save JJ.

jeanpierre · 08-19-2016, 10:41 PM

And just like that, Keenan Lewis is gone...

Trouble goes back to last season's little outburst on social media about promises re: guaranteed money...

Actually surprised it took this long for his departure - just goes to show the leverage decent cornerbacks have in this league...

Wish Westbank all the happiness he can find, just not at the Saints' expense...

Lewis - gone...

Jenkins - stay of execution with Rankins' injury, but Jenkins is done...

Tull - he's a pure 3-4 OLB, been out a year, and needs 3-4 coaching...

Speed Dial: Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, San Diego, San Francisco, maybe Denver; expect a 6th round pick...

Murphy - failures to protect the ball, Tommylee Lewis, Daniel Lasco; Murphy had better be spectacular the next two weeks...

Coleman - stone hands, slow development in route running, and inability to use strengths to shield pass path

Really hoped he could do something, but Coleman shrunk rather than seized opportunity this training camp and that could haunt you in big games on one play...

Lewis might be seen as an obvious candidate to go on IR, then return mid-season once his groin injury sufficiently recovered...

The knee injury suffered by Hau'oli Kikaha has been considered by most reports to be a season-ending injury (if not worse); still, the Saints have been playing a little gamemanship with his PUP roster designation...

Now with the development of the Sheldon Rankins lower leg fracture, likely back in approximately eight weeks, there will now be pressure to decide now on a plan for whether to keep a roster spot for Keenan Lewis...

Then there's the outstanding development, discovery of not one, but two rookie undrafted free agents in Da'Vante Harris and Ken Crawley...

Nevermind the fortunate late free agent bounce by recent signee Cortland Finnegan who's making a late serious push to make the roster as well...

Can you hear the Eagles' Heartache Tonight playing right now?

Might it not be nothing but an utter failure on the part of the front office not to recover some value by trading a cornerback, or two, before roster cuts?

This is getting real good...

Heartache Tonight - YouTube

Saints fans, we have a defensive coordinator!

Had my own doubts, but this guy is taking charge and putting his guys and his mark on this defense...

Have a newfound respect for DA, already he's better than anyone we've had in the Payton era...

Now the question is "can he produce results?" Stay tuned...

Emergence of P.J. Williams and mature play of Da'Vante Harris and Ken Crawley makes Damian Swann looks tradeable; Garrett Griffin has made Luke McCown tradeable...and our needs are interior offensive linemen...hmm

jeanpierre · 08-22-2016, 04:08 AM

(excerpt from Key NFL dates for 2016-17: Roster cutdowns to 53 players is Sept. 3 - CBSSports.com)
