2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I'm really excited about how this roster is shaping up. We have so many RB's we could trade Ingram now for a lineman and a pick or a young TE....

And how does that improve our chances of winning THIS year, Cher? None of those RB's know our offense and can pass protect as well as Ingram. Only Kamara is in the same ballpark when it comes to catching the ball and making a play. And don't forget, Ingram spent the whole time rookie orientation (OTA's) was going on working with an expert on improving his speed, route running and pass blocking skills (ie. getting better). I just don't see how replacing our leading rusher with a backup lineman or project TE helps us win our second Lombardi in 2018.

Running Back is one of the easier positions to learn, adapt to in the NFL...

Three of the HBs, plus the FB have been with the team since last season, so they've got familiarity with the system, playbook...

If the Saints have put a greater emphasis on a player's ability to break down plays, responsibilities in their draft efforts, then Boston should be fine...

Terrance West is the real wild-card in so far as his ability to process the playbook; he's physically comparable to Ingram...

On the other hand, Ingram took nearly five years to get on the field full-time and produce like a lead back, nevermind it took a first and second pick to get him...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

No need for Teo in 2018? Manti was the epitome of what good depth means to a team. This writer is nuts.

He's hardly on the "bubble".

93 - David Onyemata ... one solid year under his belt & he's understanding the game + he has a legit D line coach.

Keep an eye on David in the trenches this season. He could make a serious leap.

Sean Fazende was on Inside New Orleans Sports with Eric Asher and they were discussing Onyemata's moment to step up in this his third year...
