Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Some key roster battles (Updated):

The repeated word used to describe the work, numbers by Tom Savage shown in Training Camp is consistent; Hill had better be awesome in PreSeason...
As of late, Will Clapp has really come on at both Guard spots despite some early jitters at Center; Cameron Tom is missing some important time...
And speaking of missing, LeRibeus could've locked up a roster gig if not for repeated trouble with snapping the ball; Clapp could make him expendable...
The Tommylee Lewis Training Camp Spectacular is as entertaining as ever right now, but with his inability to field punts, can we afford a roster spot?
With Vereen's early workload, a roster spot seemed a lock before injury; Scott is taking advantage of added snaps & looks like a great third down back...
Should DE/DT Mitchell Loewen continue to surge, then Kikaha, former 2nd round pick, and a bad scheme fit loses in that extra DL/LB roster spot contest...
Thought Stupar was in trouble considering his age, cap number, and early bland play, but he's really turned it up the past four days with forced turnovers...
The play shown by P.J. Williams seems that he's resigned to not making this roster; if he could show half the heart of Maulet, he'd be ahead of Crawley...
Looks like we're set at four (4) safeties, five (5) counting DB Natrell Jamerson making the roster; versatility is great, but I hate the DB designation...
Early on it looked like Woodrow was gonna be our fourth DT, but Bromley has gotten the swing of things and his momentum may even secure a starting gig...
While there's still a lot of camp and PreSeason left, Justin Hardee, playing only one season at CB has progressed dramatically; can the big athlete be our sixth CB?

***Updated***
With extended time out by Hoomanuwanui, Ben Watson, Tight End position, already somewhat an unknown, even suspect, becomes a battle of unknowns...
Back half of the WR corps battle definitely is tight for the Saints to release known quantity Brandon Coleman - might be most talented group in NFL...
Tough injury for the Saints to release developmental project Fullington at this point; fiery competitor; may also be a sign Leonard is starting to get it at RT...
Sunday's depth chart release & practice confirmed thinking that Edmunds is now viewed as a FB and is in direct competition with Zach Line; speed v. strength...

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

A little bit of house-cleaning of the roster...

I'm still meh on TLL. This time last year he made "spectacular plays in pre season camp", however it really didn't carry over into good production on Sundays. In only a weeks worth of practice, Brandon Tate looks so much more fluid on punt/kick off returns.

It will be interesting to see if Lewis sticks in 2018.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

I didn't think Coleman would make it. Now I'm beginning to question whether TLL will make the roster either.

Why put him on the roster if he can't get on the field?!?
