And not one dropped ball! That's amazing!

But really, 6'6" and 220? Are they looking at him as a WR or TE?

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Eventual Brandon Coleman replacement maybe? Dan Arnold has better measurables in almost every category except 40 time (but Arnold has the faster 10 yard split) and strength (but it's not like Coleman actually uses his strength to outmuscle anyone.)

A year on the practice squad and maybe we have something.

Good battles here. Okafor can be disruptive IF the man stays healthy.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

We'll at least have live bodies behind him when/if he goes down...

Have Kikaha as a LBer because the Saints also list him as a linebacker...

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Well, which was it? Hard to believe what you read when they are saying completely different things.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Exactly. The team, through media, has warned fans and beat writers not to get too caught up in who's playing where just yet...

I understand they want to look at the guys in different formations to find the best fit...

But, I've got to wonder if one series per day is enough to evaluate a player...

I firmly support competition, but you've got to really see some reps to know what you have...

And I'll offer this - Stephone Anthony was a beast his rookie season at the MIKE for the Saints; he should get some serious reps there again with Mike Nolan now on the team...

Nolan has a proven track record with front sevens and defenses and I believe D.A. will need to swallow his ego a bit and give Nolan (and Nielsen) room to get the front seven fixed...

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I wonder how much that has to do with the limited reps allowed under the CBA? That has to be addressed the next time around. Even some players are questioning the policy.
