Brandon Coleman not safe!

Utah_Saint · 06-23-2016, 01:01 PM

I really hope no player is safe in training camp. Best player makes the roster, names shouldn't mean anything.

That said, I think Coleman will make the team, if that means the Saints carry 6 WR's, I think they will.

WR is all up in the air and young so if the talent is there why not?

We have before, but we had a pretty solid O-line the too. I'm afraid our questions along the O-line will require us to keep an extra OL or two. That spot will rob us of that 6th WR or that 5th RB, or 3rd TE, or 3rd QB.

we've often kept only 2 qb's, i can see that as a real possibility again

in the past no one wanted our third so we could stash him on the PS. We won't be able to do that this year, so if GG is not ready to backup Brees we'll need to carry 3.

It will be a lot easier to keep the FA o-linemen on the practice squad, as someone signing one of them without seeing them in camp would be a real reach

I'm hoping Greyson takes a huge step forward so we could carry only 2. I don't think we could stash him either.

Coleman is about as safe as Cadet. Maybe a little safer. It will all come down to the level of competition at training camp.

1. Cooks
2. Snead
3. Thomas

That leaves 2 spots for the final 5. Those spots typically are filled with WR's who play ST's. Coleman doesn't.

So he's competing with veteran Vincent Brown and upstart RJ Harris.

I still think he has the inside track, but he'd better turn it up a notch.

Harris could slide to PS no problem, and no one really wanted Brown, so I don't think we are in much danger if we play the cut and sign game with them.
Coleman might be more attractive.
I think since he was the go to guy last game of the year that SP sees something

Good. Means we are strong at that position.

If you want to get paid, step up.

I agree. It took Meachem 3 years to be any good and if Coleman can't do it this year then it's next man up.
