The scouting reports on Marcus pre draft were accurate ...

"Not physical, lacks strength to tackle NFL RB's at the second level, much more of a drag-down (see George Kittle play) tackler".

Marcus has a lot of sure tacklers around him (Demario, Nigel B, Ceedy, Jenkins) so if he can't get it together in 2020 ... go find his replacement in 2021 via Free Agency or the draft.

3 years in, at this level you shouldn't be "learning" to tackle when the safety position is the last line of defense.

This preseason sucks. I didn’t realize how much I would miss preseason games until now. I usually live for this coming weekend. To make matters worse there’s no actual news coming out of camp other than “watch for this” and “watch for that”.
If it wasn’t for JPs work here I probably wouldn’t give a **** about what’s going on in camp.

Saints place All-Pro returner Deonte Harris on reserve/COVID-19 list today 8/14/20.

Just an FYI ...

Get them out of the way before the season starts. But, most on the list have been "possible contact", not actual infection. Once clearing two tests they are cleared to continue.

Oh, and I heard today COVOD list players don't count toward the 80. You can bring in others to try out.

Yep, let IT run ITS course through and then get that herd immunity established early seems to be the best...

Payton and management seem to be going all-out to establish a bubble and not sure that's really possible at this point...
