FWIW, I think TommyLee will get a lot of looks to show his worth ... for other teams. He's definitely a "bubble" guy.

Well, Muhammad started to a resounding thud - don't see him making this roster; but, we'll be cutting some good nose tackles, if they' not traded first...

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints PreSeason

Some players to look forward to getting snaps with the ones in PreSeason Game Two...

TE Dan Arnold - Arnold has the height, just not the sand, yet, Saints need at Tight End since departure of Graham; need to gauge his blocking and his ability to shield off and catch versus ones, playing with ones...

LB Jayrone Elliot - Elliot has a history of jumping out on PreSeason film, just against reserves; he'll get some looks against the ones with the ones to see if last week was an aberration or if he's progressed, it's him vs Kikaha vs Loewen for a roster spot...

RB Jonathan Williams has seemingly turned it on since that run up the middle against Jax (though Will Clapp was as impressive leading that wedge); Williams will get some looks with the ones to see if he can play at the next level of speed, competiton...

DB Natrell Jamerson will get some looks at the tail-end with the ones this week; it might've been early, but the sluggish start allowing Bortles to march down the field may give Dennis Allen pause to see his defense perform; but Jamerson is a gamer and Robinson showed he's ready...

OL Will Clapp, while Payton has changed in recent years playing rookies more, expect to see Clapp gets some snaps with the ones to test his playing, functional strength; how he fares may just determine if the Saints keep LeRibeus; departure of Fullington was huge for Clapp's prospects...

WR Tre'Quan Smith was drafted to replace the aging Ted Ginn; but I'd expect to see that plan accelerated so Smith can improve his timing and earn the trust of the play-calling to geaux to him for third downs or downfield shots...

QB Taysom Hill may get the next rotation with the ones if the coaches think he's ready - but if he's not, expect the Coaches to put a priority on seeing other positions perform with optimum surrounding talent...

Others that may get tested against the ones are DT Devaroe Lawrence, NT Taylor Stallworth, NT Woodrow Hamilton...

Muhammad didn't impress in p/s #1. I could see him on the outside looking in as well.

Not sure if we were watching the same games last preseason. I thought Muhammad looked like an unpolished gem. Didn't he have three sacks in one game?

Yes sir.

Against the 3's/backups & camp bodies.

You are a hard man to please. I realize it was against backups, but he led the entire NFL in sacks last preseason. I think that's enough for him to 'impress' me as a sixth round draft pick. I'm hoping he gets even better this season and can join the rotation.

:bng:

Hard to please? Not at all. Muhammad has shown "flashes" but I worry about the quality of players in front of him. Not sure if you've been keeping up with camp but there are a lot of talented guys at the position.

Mitch Loewin is another guy who is a threat. He's been lined up at DE & DT. Looked good vs the Jags in pre season #1.

I want the best 53 on the final roster :bng:.
