2017 New Orleans Saints Training Camp

It should be noted that the defense was playing a cover 2 when Coleman caught that deep ball against Breaux so it wasn't really Breaux getting beat. I'm not sure who the safety was over the top that blew it.

Stephone Anthony impressing Saints at new spot, putting frustrating season behind him | Saints | theadvocate.com

"He hasn't been thinking as much, which is what he needs to do, because he has the natural abilities to make plays," Saints linebacker Manti Te'o said. "I was always taught, if you think, you stink, and as players, we get trapped in that zone where we're always trying to be perfect, and with Steph, he's just been out there, he hasn't been thinking as much and he's letting his instincts take over."

excelling at WLB? what a huge plus it would be if he can land the starting job and keep it. Talk about the flexibility it would add to the LB Corp not to mention the speed

It never occurred to me trying him at WLB, but it sounds like a great move so far! Mike Nolan is already looking brilliant. It's early though. Anzalone could overtake him over the next couple weeks.

The thing about Ellerbe is that he doesn't make mental mistakes. Anthony littered the field with blown coverages.......All it takes is one blown assignment per game and we are in trouble again.

I am praying that Anzalone is the real deal and takes his spot during TC.

I'll bet Anthony gets BETTER with experience and proper coaching. We already know those tools couldn't keep Ellerbe on the field.

I'm just glad it's being held here. Once they start seeing, hearing and feeling the support of the fans it's gong to carry a lot of weight on these players. I know some may laugh at me but morale is a very dangerous thing.

When Anthony was drafted, he was meant for a 3-4 ILB job which I believe would be his best, most natural position...

Saints coaching has done a horrible, really non-existent job of developing linebackers when we did draft them...

Taking Anthony and replacing Vitt with Nolan will come to be one of those shifts when they close the books on Payton's tenure with the Saints where football fans will say...

"Why in the h~ll didn't Payton do this sooner?!?" And it will be a just, fair criticism...
