I'm really interested to watch Jimmy Pruitt at training camp as well as David Onyemata.

There will be some tough cuts this year.

It's been a while since we were able to make that statement.

Pruitt and Harris should be interesting.

Onyemata pushes Richardson.

Why is Tim Lelito playing with the two's?

Where will Davis Tull play?

Who will be the fourth and fifth wide receivers?

K Major

Most NFL teams are in the nickel at least 60% of the time. Not to mention our Saints even more 4-3/3-4 ... Tull needs to be on the edge. I think he is a situational pass rusher at best.

Saints Announce Roster Moves

The Saints announced that they have placed CB Kyle Wilson on the reserve/injured list and have signed DT C.J. Wilson

The New Orleans Saints announced today that they have placed CB Kyle Wilson on the reserve/injured list and have signed DT C.J. Wilson. The announcements were made by Saints’ Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis.

Wilson, 6-3, 290, comes to New Orleans after splitting the 2015 season between the Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions. He opened the year appearing in four games with one start for the Raiders and recorded five tackles (two solo). In eight games for Detroit, he posted eight tackles (six solo) and one sack. Originally a seventh round choice (230th overall) of the Green Bay Packers in the 2010 NFL Draft out of East Carolina, the Belhaven, N.C. native has played in 78 career games with 19 starts over six seasons with the Packers, Raiders and Lions, accumulating 150 tackles (84 solo), 6.5 sacks for a total loss of 27 yards, one pass defensed and one fumble recovery. The East Carolina standout appeared in eight postseason games with three starts for the Packers from 2010-2013, recording 24 tackles (14 solo) and one sack, and was part of Green Bay’s Super Bowl XLV championship team.

Comment: This was what I was referring; we don't need four (4) standouts on the defensive line; we need a healthy rotation of seven-eight defensive linemen and to just keep bringing the heat by keeping the horses fresh through four (4) quarters...

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

Make no mistake, the Saints are doing everything they can to make sure they have a consistent rush with the base four up front on the defensive line...

Defensive Line Battles

Nose Tackle - John Jenkins, Tyeler Davison, Ashaad Mabry, Lawrence Virgil

Jenkins, last year of rookie contract will be pushed and will be expendable if Mabry and/or Lawrence can be an able backup; Davison better not sleep either as that back two on this list have the size and hunger to make it happen...

Defensive Tackle - Nick Fairley, Sheldon Rankins, David Onyemata

This will be more of a battle of 1 and 1A, Saints did a great job of setting this up to bring Rankins along in the NFL; Onyemata can play along the DL so there will be flexibility for him making the team so Payton can justify the move to select him...

Defensive End - Cam Jordan, Kasim Edebali, Bobby Richardson, C.J. Wilson, Obum Gwachum, Davis Tull, David Onyemata, D.J. Pettway

May see as many as five from this group make the 53 man roster; C.J. Wilson vs Bobby Richardson, Davis Tull vs Obum Gwachum, David Onyemata vs D.J. Pettway will be some good battles in camp...

What really will make this a puzzle is that the onus will be on the one-dimensional players like John Jenkins, Tyeler Davison, Ashaad Mabry, Lawrence Virgil, Davis Tull, Obum Gwachum, D.J. Pettway to have outstanding camps as players like Nick Fairley, Sheldon Rankins, C.J. Wilson, Bobby Richardson can move inside and out for matchups, injuries et cetera will have an advantage make the roster...

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

Guard depth could be better, but I'd say it's better than where we were this time last year...

Great review of our linebackers JP! I honestly don't know much about this Dillon Lee but what I'm reading has me very intrigued. I really hope Craig Robertson gets the starting WLB job because he's tremendously good in coverage. Why was he available as a bargain basement free agent? What am I missing because I watch this guy and he's a playmaker.

K Major

It will be interesting to see what TULL can do next month once they have on full gear. I understand his first two steps are explosive.
