Davenport, despite missing time, being a rookie, is a serviceable starter now...

Natrell Jamerson is definitely making the roster, backing P-Rob at nickel back...

What is it about the Saints and Mike Linebacker - are they asking too much of 'em?

Max Unger makes us an elite offensive line, but if he were to go down for a game or two - Will Clapp's play has been outstanding...

Does Ginn make the team now that Tre'Quan is here?
Do we go with cheaper talent at WR... Carr, etc...

Hill is work in progress and can contribute as a place holder and trick plays.. JT makes the practice squad. Savage is a phone call away if he is needed.

I don't like Trey Hendrickson starting at RDE....He can't stop the run....he was getting blocked by TE's too many times maybe he's better off as a 3rd down rusher

It may only be me but I cringe every time I see Ginn with the ball or it headed his way. I have little to zero confidence in his ball security or control.

-Brees, Kamara, Thomas, Watson, the OL, and T. Smith are ready.
-Carr makes the squad and will contribute big.
-Scott makes the squad easily and will at least contribute in the return game.
-Savage is good getting the ball out quickly. Otherwise not.
-Hill is good at the RPO. Otherwise less so.
-Saints will be watching the cuts at that position.
-Understandably, Meredith just isn't ready yet.
-Lattimore, Crawley, Jordan, Williams, and Onyemata are ready.
-A Bell sighting. Great to see.
-How do you keep Robertson out of the lineup? Dude is always making plays.
-Very good first showing by Davenport. Big, quick, strong and instinctive.
-Stallworth and Lawrence MAKE PLAYS and are always active.
-Don't get the Davison love. Never pushes the pocket. Never makes tackles. If he's eating blockers, then the LB's aren't doing their job either because the defense always gets gashed with him in.
-Don't see anything from Rankins either. Just doesn't pass the eye test. Hopefully, it's just the preseason.

-Notable cuts: Barrett, Bromley, Floyd, Hoomanawanui, Johnson, Kikaha, Muhammad, Tate, Tiller, and Turner.

Cruize, you make a fantastic point.

Why does it seem like Payton thinks Craig Robertson is not good enough to be a starter?

People used to say that no one could beat Scott Shanle out of his position, that was worrying. Now we have Craig Robertson who I believe is our most complete LB since Vilma and Payton continually demotes him to second string....

Honestly, name a more versatile and complete LB on our roster currently, Craig Robertson is the best we have.

IIRC, Craig was in with the 3's on sat. Head scratcher for me .

I don't like the rotation at LB'er. We should be done experimenting and we should be refining our technique. #53 is not a play maker. #52 is and #56 looks great.
