Nick and Mike are developing a nice friendly rivalry.

They're both top notch in my book

Loewen is probably why they rolled the dice on cutting McDaniel.

Veteran DT's on life support just don't get claimed before the season starts since their salary becomes guaranteed.

Don't know who gets the ax after that tho. Tony should be back after week 1.

I feel like we need better quality receivers.

Out of Ted Ginn, Brandon Coleman and Tommy Lee, we could lead the league in dropped passes.

Agreed, unfortunately

TG Jr may drop a few passes (he is what he is) but I guarantee you, he'll make up for it on special teams (kick offs, and/or punt returns). Still a dangerous WR who will keep safeties honest. Speed kills.

As for BC & TL, I'm expecting them to take their game up a notch ... specifically Brandon.

Really liked WR Chad Hansen, Cal; we should have shipped Cadet to the Jets for Hansen, a fourth rounder...

He would thrive in this offense...

Is anyone a little surprised that Edmunds made it over Victor?

Both looked great, but I thought Victor shined a tad more in the games. Edmunds must have splashed more in practice.

My initial impression is that with the 3 game suspension of Snead, Saints have opportunity to look at Edmunds vs Lasco for a few weeks - one likely gone by the time we fly to London...

I liked Victor, reminded me of former G'nats great RB Joe Morris and if we hadn't signed AP, he makes this roster...

Lampmann was a late cut because Lampmann vs Lasco are even gunners, Lasco had better position performance than Lampman...

Had Jake had more reps, and made the few he had count, I think Lasco was in deeper trouble...
