NFL, Saints Cuts

Barry from MS · 08-31-2019, 09:26 PM

I didn't get a lot of the cuts last year...dont get some of them this year. But locker room culture can explain some of them I'm betting. I really really really liked Ozigbo, but could be playbook or attitude probs. Butler I see amazing potential, but those drops were just bad in preseason games no less. Humphries looked good but he will not separate vs real NFL corners. Against 2/3/4 string secondaries, sure. Carr is still a head scratcher, but maybe they're seeing a jump for his 3rd yr.

Who knows...I just live here.

Brees made a point to stress how much he trusted Carr in a press conference a week or so back. I’m betting a lot of the receiver decisions were strongly swayed by him. If Brees likes them then I guess we have to.

I hope AJ Derby is eventually brought back.

We struggled at WR last year so we dump a bunch of potentially better players for the same ones? Don’t get it.

We still have a great receiving corp compared to majority of teams. Falcons probably have one of the best. Kamara can run the whole route tree then with MT and Ginnn, there is not much work left. I doubt anyone else gets over 45 targets.

Cutting Ozigbo was a mistake I think.

We’ll find out soon. Three hours until we can sign players to the practice squad.

It does appear that way but with our line, down field blocking... just about any ok RB is going to have some success. We made Tim Hightower look magical almost the whole season.

Think he gets on the PS or gets plucked from us. He looked better than Boston Scott I know that much and BS stuck around the league until recently.

I’d also like to point out that in order for players to be eligible to return from IR they had to make the 53 man roster first. It’ll be interesting to see if anybody goes on IR today (Robertson, Hampton, etc).

"Anyone else notice Boston Scott" didn't make the Eagles?
