NT (2) 90 - Malcolm Brown (FA 2019), 95 - Taylor Stallworth, 96 - Sylvester Williams (FA 2019)

For a split second, I forgot the Saints signed FA Sylvester Williams this off season. Former 1st rounder, seasoned vet and has been a solid run stuffer.

Maybe he shows well enough at camp to claim a roster spot & join the DT rotation (David O suspended) in game 1 vs Houston.

You can never have enough pass rushing guys who can collapse the pocket and bring consistent pressure.

Can see keeping the veteran, Sylvester The Big Cat, with Stallworth as Ready-One rotating with the Big Ony and/or Malcolm in the Middle; Sylvester spelling the NT...

FS (2) 43 - Marcus A. Williams, 31 - Chris Banjo (FA 2019), 33 - Saquan Hampton (R6P4, #177)

Saquan really needs to shine on special teams to ensure a roster spot or at worst, practice squad candidate.

** EDIT ** Didn't realize that I'd already commented on Saquan in a previous post.

I'll disagree with the writer on a couple of spots ...

RB - Dwayne Washington ... I think Ozigbo will show up and show out enough at camp to get #3 spot.

WR - Cameron Meredith ... I want him to succeed in the slot however I don't believe his knee will ever be 100% again. He can't help if on the sideline in December when we start to make that final "push" for post season position.

I do agree with him on the TE's though ... Dan Arnold didn't show up when the lights were on in 2018 and a young, hungry lion (Alize Mack) aims to take his spot.

Oh and yes, it's just a matter of time for Ken Crawley. His confidence is gone. Kayvon Webster is an upgrade, a seasoned vet and plays on special teams. I hope Saquan Hampton does enough to earn practice squad spot. Someone that could be worth developing.

Can't wait for training camp .

DE is looking pretty bad now that Granderson will not be in the mix. Granted, if we were relying on an UDFA to give us meaningful snaps then we were not in great shape anyway.

There was an article that said Vince Biegel is getting more pass rush snaps... But he doesn’t have great length. Maybe Porter Gustin surprises.

Mario Edwards has said that the coaching staff very clearly stated he’ll be a 3-technique.

According to Wyoming stats for 2018, Carl had 28 solo tackles, 12 assisted & 3 sacks. Not exactly tearing it up. Saints coaches probably saw a high motor, "raw" talent who could contribute on special teams.

It won't surprise me if the Saints brought in a vet (team position casualty) post training camp.
