NFL, Saints Cuts

It certainly we had a lot of guys go to Reserve/Injured instead of being cut these past two days...

Crawley hanging around to commit more pass interference and holding than anyone else...

I know I'm not seeing much of camp this year and the preseason games are limited but the cuts of Ozigbo, Humphrey, and Butler make no sense. I'm not seeing what happened with their turns at camp at with the 1s but these cuts make little sense.

Humphrey is only good at seam routes and slants from the slot. We have TE’s for that.

Not really. We haven’t had reliable seam routes since Graham and Colston.

The only surprise cut I’m happy about is Banjo.

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.

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.

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 wouldn’t mind Coleman back. We could use his skills as a blocker. I always liked him.
