Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Once again, who do you cut from the current 90 man roster before the first OTA?

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Guys will start getting hurt. Players will start getting stashed on IR. There will be open roster spots soon.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

If that time comes, maybe, but not that time now.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Yeah I think we're in good shape right now with unproven veterans and rookies at every position group battling for spots. Not to mention the CFL additions. If somewhere down the line Garrett Grayson just isn't making that leap then maybe we bring in another arm.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Was hoping we'd take QB Murray or McCarron instead of who we took...LB Fortt, I think

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I've honestly lost track of this guy.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I remember a lot of fans thinking Murray would be a good fit here. He's still only 26 years old too.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

We have some preliminary rookie jersey numbers!!

Marshon Lattimore 34
Ryan Ramczyk 71
Marcus Williams 43
Alvin Kamara 41
Trey Hendrickson 91
Alex Anzalone 47
Al-Quadin Muhammad 97

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

We can talk all about the players we picked up in FA and the draft, and those we didn't,

...but Mike Nolan and Ryan Nielsen will be the biggest off-season acquisitions...

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

“My impression so far is that he’s very capable. He’s also a guy that’s kind of versatile. I think his best position is in the middle,” Nolan said. “When you play a (defense) like we do with the three bubbles, most guys can play any one of them. You usually have your more versatile guys on the outside. But again, I’m excited about Anthony.”

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

salvage that first round pick

all I want is an active rotation so the defense does not look so gassed in the the final half of the fourth quarter.

keep your fingers crossed on Alex Okafor, I am thinking he will be the big surprise at DE this year for the saints defense. he has a solid shot at being that three down 43 DE we have been missing. He is the key IMO.

Still wishing for more beef at NT position. I fear this will be our weak spot against the run and keeping the LB clean to do their thing. A bunch of one one blocking up front.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I understand your concerns. NT is obviously not at the top of your to do list for fixing the defense and we only have so many resources available.

I think Davison, Onyamata and that monster Zimmer we poached off someone's PS last year will get pressure up the middle in rotation with Rankins and Fairley.

Not to mention how much better they will be with a RDE who gets after the QB opposite Cam Jordan........

Edit: Thanks for keeping us informed JP! Cheers to you and all the bng members who help keep me informed. :cheers:

Wouldn't that be a blessing if he could grow the potential of Stephone Anthony? That's such an encouraging quote.

Now, all fandom aside, name one team as deep as the Saints? :bng:

It will be nice to see what a completely healthy Lasco can do offensively and on special teams.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

He was a pretty damn impressive gunner early on, when healthy...

Lasco reminds me of a Roger Craig type Running Back...

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
