Hopefully Granderson or Gustin can shock the world in camp.

Just remember Sean Payton is less than forthright in disclosing healthy scratches...

ANd Rob Ninkovich was often a healthy scratch - then he was released under an injury waiver; took a year to get healthy in Miami...

He then went to New England where he became a SuperBowl Defensive End...

You're probably right about T-Rex, but he'll have plenty of competition for the 4th defensive end roster spot...

Don't see Gustin playing Defensive End at his size (comparable to Hau'oli Kikaha); know they signed him as that, but suspect he'll get more of a look as an SAM LB...

Kaufusi is a Jason Taylor-Marcus Davenport-wiry-type weak side defensive end that has terrific athleticism, but just may be lacking some sand and some strength...

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