Williams surprised me. Bushrod over over Kelemete probably because he can play tackle. Gray must be really good on special teams. Overall I’m psyched about roster. Who Dat !?!

This is a solid lineup! I don't really understand Austin Carr still getting a spot, and I'm a little worried about tackle just because of the durability issues for a few guys. And I don't remember seeing JT Grey at all, but I trust the staff to make the right choices.

Um, Kelemete is now a starting guard for the Texans. Bushrod was signed to compete for the vacated role. He will play guard if Armstead comes out with Peat kicking out to tackle.

Precisely.

Undrafted rookie Gray from Miss St made the roster in the same manner that most undrafted rookies do.

Quote from Payton : "He can run & hit in the kicking game exceptionally well. He's one of those guys that when I talk about the kicking game, making it in special teams, he's an example".

Remember none of us see any of the behind the scenes stuff. Maybe Gray can get down field a full second faster than Stupar? There's definitely a reason behind these roster spots, even if we can't see it.

Exactly what I've been preaching. These decisions are not made in a vacuum. Everything has to be weighed against a number of other variables.

The three year rebuild is close to being over. There are going to be quality players losing their roster spots (permanent or not) that come as a surprise to those of us without access to the total picture.

I choose to trust the process.

I didn't like Bushrod when he was here before and he looked bad to my untrained eyes playing this preseason. He scares the Hell out of me and I hope that he never sees the field. The other two have room to grow and hopefully they will learn in the film room and practice field before being thrown into the fire playing in a game.

Believe the Saints' cut-down day is more like Week 3 of the Regular Season...
