As a 3rd back?

IIRC Payton was interested in him coming out of LSU.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Yes sir. I think he’d eventually beat out Murray as the 2nd back. I love Jeremy Hill.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Unless there is some "set back" we aren't aware of, I'd be very surprised to see anyone detach Murray for the #2 RB spot.

Especially considering Hill is coming off an ankle injury and more recently a torn ACL (it was pretty gruesome) back in Sept. Not sure if the Saints brass will travel (gamble on a injured player at a skill position) down that road again in 2019.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Just an FYI ...

No practice today. Team is en route to Cali for joint practices on Thursday and Friday vs Chargers.

I don’t think I’ve seen this posted yet... Everybody likes a good Baldy Breakdown!

Re: And so it begins...
 

I LOVE Baldy Breakdowns! And this one especially gets me going. McCoy moves great for such a big guy.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Today (Thursday) begins 1 of 2 joint practices with the Chargers :bng:

Starts at 12 noon central time today.

He was gashing the Saints just last year before Zimmer stop running the ball.

Many will love Murray and short yardage downs as well. Super tough to bring down.

Re: And so it begins...
 

JP,

Any heroics from wonder boy Emmanuel Butler at today's joint practice?

Re: And so it begins...
 

Thought Marques Colston wore No. 12...

Re: And so it begins...
 

Other highlights from Saints@Chargers Joint Command Practice...

Get some, Taysom - Thrown in perfect slot beyond cornerback, before safety...

Re: And so it begins...
 

Oh and this happened with A.J. Klein and P.J. Williams today...

Re: And so it begins...
 

Glad to see someone stepping up in his second year...

Re: And so it begins...
 

Don’t like seeing 3 of our most important players battling injuries this early. Thomas, Lattimore, and Kamara would be tough to lose all at once. Same with Anzalone

Re: And so it begins...
 

Re: And so it begins...
 

Day 2 of joint sessions with the Bolts ...

Starts at 12 noon central time zone.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Not so good news for Charger fans ...

Breaking: Derwin James to miss “significant time” with foot injury

https://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/201...th-foot-injury

Re: And so it begins...
 

Just terrible. Sounds like he should be good to go after the first month of the season though. Difficult to decision to IR him and bring him back or carry him on the active roster.

Re: And so it begins...
 

James has the potential to be the best safety in the NFL.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Re: And so it begins...
 

yummm...

Re: And so it begins...
 

FYI ...

Today's practice begins at 4 p.m. however closed to the public.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Back to the grind :bng: ...

Practice starts @ 9:50 am today.

** Edit - and open to the general public.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Based on today's tweets, that 5th receiver spot is still up for grabs.

Cobbs, Butler & Humphrey will need a really good showing vs Jets to solidify a roster spot.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Re: And so it begins...
 

Maybe Butler shows up these next two. We have to have these big body WR's to make plays but also block. I would say blocking is more critical. Most of the passes are not going to them anyway.

Re: And so it begins...
 

The media coverage of camp this year blows.

Re: And so it begins...
 

I miss Nick Underhill

Re: And so it begins...
 

Hell I miss Kristian.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Lets play some football!!!!

Re: And so it begins...
 

I even went over to SR hoping to find something. Usually they will post any trash written as long as they have something good to say about the Saints. Nothing. The posters there have really gone downhill and I didn’t think it was possible. One guy didn’t know who Butler was and another lumped Murphy and Kamara in as receivers basically saying we would only keep 3
WR’s.
Never have I seen so many ignorant and casual fans in one place.
I used to be able to find at least 1 or 2 legit articles there but no more.

Re: And so it begins...
 

It will interesting to see what DC Greg Williams dials up in p/s game #3 vs Saints.

Remember in that Jets game last week, they really got after Matt Ryan and that O line. He was sacked a few times.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Re: And so it begins...
 

Cut them off myself

Re: And so it begins...
 

Today's (8/22/19) practice begins @ 9:50 this morning.

Per Accurweather, Metarie is currently sunny and 84 degrees :bng:.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Going to SR is practically grounds for banning. :p :bng:

But as long as you keep doing your pre-game ritual to give us good luck, you're still part of our family! :p

Re: And so it begins...
 

Thought I post this from yesterday's (8/21/2019) practice ...

Training camp is coming to a close. The Saints practiced in front of fans today and will hold their final session tomorrow morning. After that, the team gets into their regular season mode following Saturday’s preseason contest against the New York Jets. Not seen at Wednesday’s practice were:

WR Ted Ginn Jr.
WR Simmie Cobbs Jr.
OL Marshall Newhouse
DE Mario Edwards Jr.
LB Alex Anzalone
LB Craig Robertson
S Saquan Hampton
CB/RS Marcus Sherels

We have not seen Anzalone or Sherels since the preseason opener; meanwhile Robertson and Edwards both left last preseason contest with undisclosed injuries.

Coach Sean Payton did announce some changes to the roster. Linebacker Will Compton was added along with offensive lineman Fisayo Awolaja. In corresponding moves the team waived long snapper Nick Moore and announced that Chris Clark was placed on injured reserve.
