2. Trey Hendrickson vs. Carl Granderson

Yep. TRex either stands up and delivers or he's a ghost on the 2019 Saints roster.

Article has it wrong. Knock on Granderson in scouting reports is that at Wyoming he pinned his ears back and rushed the passer, even vs the run...

Like to get inside thoughts of the coaching decision to bench him to know what they like/don't like about Trey's game, progression, improvement...

But it's no use giving him a roster spot if all you're going to do is keep him around like Tommylee - use him or lose him...

Up to this point, it's kind of difficult to say what is what until we see these guys going full go in shoulder pads against another prospective talent.

I'm curious to see what Ozigbo can do at camp. At worst, I think he's a practice squad candidate.

Other than Gardner, probably the new addition I'm most excited to see in action...

Does anybody else find it great that we are not depending on any of these 8 battles for our Superbowl run in 2019?

True but wouldn't it be nice if guys like Mckoy and Gardner-Johnson can have an impact in season 1 ... similar to how Malcolm Jenkins did as a rookie?

I've never been so excited to see a kid play who was taken in the 4th round

I plan to see these battles first hand.

I didn’t realize we had two McCoys. We signed another Eric McCoy in the first round? That’s some Loomis magic right there.

They have preseason tickets on Groupon for 8 bucks right now.
