It'll be tough Major as NT John Jenkins reportedly reported (<see what I did there? ;) ) in great shape for OTAs...

And Tyeler Davison will be shifting back to his more natural, and draft projected, nose tackle position...

Not to mention that Rankins or Onyemata could also play the inside gaps on long passing downs...

But I do like the kid and wish him a great, healthy effort this camp...

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...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 
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.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 
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...

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.

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...

Figure on Saints keeping between seven (7), maybe eight (8) offensive linemen on the final (53) intial roster...

Early Rankings of our offensive line would be:
  1. 72 - Terron Armstead - Armed with a new contract, Coach Payton thinks he's the best LT in the NFL...
  2. 64 - Zach Strief - Yeah, he's old, ugly in space, but he's the most underrated OT in the NFL...
  3. 60 - Max Unger - Formerly the best C in the league, key season to get him extended, hoping both Unger and Saints want it...
  4. 68 - Tim Lelito - Don't get all the FanHate, Former UDRFA that has worked his arse off and is poised for a breakout season...
  5. 75 - Andrus Peat - You can tell he's looked lost our of LT position, but he's got to be a pro, man-up and win a position or learn another...
  6. 65 - Senio Kelemete - An ideal utility inside offensive linemen who's becoming a pro's pro and is effective in short-run playing time...
  7. 74 - Tyrus Thompson - Maybe he's gotten by on physical talent so long that the NFL has been too much adjustment on the mental side?
  8. 78 - Landon Turner - Can be another in a long line of "steals" by the Saints UDFA, but he wasn't drafted for a reason...what's the reason?
  9. 79 - Joseph Cheek - Struggled on the inside at Texas A&M where favored star recruits were in place at OT, can the Saints get it right moving him back to OT?
  10. 70 - Ryker Mathews - Reminds of a young Strief, just a mountain of a man, very strong, and can limit the elite rushers once he gets his hands on...
  11. 66 - Jack Allen - Great athlete, Great Attitude, Great Intelligence, just wasn't born with NFL height, reach...
  12. 62 - Cyril Lemon - Physically can nearly check the boxes, but sometimes the NFL can be too cerebral...
  13. 71 - Kaleb Eulls - Made the brave decision to try playing another position; one of the highest character players Saints have had...
  14. 61 - Marcus Henry - Bowling Ball of a center, though only slightly undersized; played in limited scheme in college...
  15. 67 - Avery Young - Naturally big man and had some success in college because of it, but this is the NFL...

Offensive Linemen to watch who're likely to move up:
78 - Landon Turner
70 - Ryker Mathews
79 - Joseph Cheek

  8. 78 - Landon Turner - Can be another in a long line of "steals" by the Saints UDFA, but he wasn't drafted for a reason...what's the reason?
  9. 79 - Joseph Cheek - Struggled on the inside at Texas A&M where favored star recruits were in place at OT, can the Saints get it right moving him back to OT?
  10. 70 - Ryker Mathews - Reminds of a young Strief, just a mountain of a man, very strong, and can limit the elite rushers once he gets his hands on...
  11. 66 - Jack Allen - Great athlete, Great Attitude, Great Intelligence, just wasn't born with NFL height, reach...
  12. 71 - Kaleb Eulls - Made the brave decision to try playing another position; one of the highest character players Saints have had...
  13. 62 - Cyril Lemon - Physically can nearly check the boxes, but sometimes the NFL can be too cerebral...
  14. 61 - Marcus Henry - Bowling Ball of a center, though only slightly undersized; played in limited scheme in college...
  15. 67 - Avery Young - Naturally big man and had some success in college because of it, but this is the NFL...

Offensive Linemen to watch who're likely to move up:
78 - Landon Turner
70 - Ryker Mathews
79 - Joseph Cheek

New Orleans Saints' Marcus Murphy seeks expanded role in offense | NOLA.com

Here's to hoping MM improves this season - minus the fumbles.
