What to watch when Saints training camp opens

I'm not really worried about the rest of the defense. Barring injuries the D-Line is solid and the secondary can be top-tier.

Ellerbe is hands down our best LB, he will be the WLB if healthy.

MLB/SLB are up fro grabs, and if you look at the contracts dished out the Saints are banking on Klein to take the MLB spot.

Anthony is likely cut before the season-- I haven't seen or heard of anything leading me to believe he'll improve.

Teo is my hope for the SLB spot with Robertson being a very good back up that can play every LB position well.

B.S. you have been blowing the same sunshine out of your ass about the defense for the past 3 seasons. Surprised anyone can hear it with all the butt banging you and Will do.
Defense will be better this year but don't act like you didn't think they would be like top 5 the past 3 years.

No. I absolutely didn't think they would be top five. But, when have you ever posted anything that was fact based? I felt like they would be improved this past season and they were even after being decimated at CB. Once again, I expect them to be vastly improved. I wouldn't be surprised if they even finished in the low 20's or upper teens in the rankings.

And what is this "butt banging" about which you speak? Never heard of that. Something you enjoy, perhaps?

All the drama between Will/Guido and then you have someone like The Dude being childish adding to it...

LMAO- THIS!

If you keep making the same prediction at some point you have to be right. But defense should be improved this year, how much, can't be certain yet

I never have never predicted anything other than a 19-0 record every year. I am an undying Saints fan. I will always believe. You can wallow in your negativity all you want. The next game will always be a win for me.

My eyes will be on the D to see if they get their ass handed to them again this season. The front line will make or break this season.

My eyes will just be here ready y'alls opinions. I would like to take a trip down there sometime to watch some of the training camp.

I went to a couple when my son would be swimming in the state tournament at UNO. This year they have made it much harder. Back then you just stood in line. This year you have to apply for tickets, which are free, but ...

First choice goes to current season ticket holders.

If any are left they go to people on the official waiting list for season tickets.

If any are left the general public gets them in what I think is the order of application received.

AsylumGuido · 07-18-2017, 04:27 PM

Actually season ticket holders can pick up tickets Wednesday, waiting list Thursday and if any are left general public Friday. No application, just standing in line.
