Game Day Game thread: Preseason Saints at Cowboys

[rambo2]

boring game.

It's about the roster not the game.

 

[gimmesix]

I have 3 quarterbacks and 5 receivers because they can get Brown to the practice squad most likely. They need that extra roster spot on defense.

Why? I mean, who are you keeping who's going to make a difference on defense and not be inactive each week.

 

[gimmesix]

Probably trying to stash him on the PS.

He played near the end and possibly had his worst outing. Got Howell hit a few times near the end.

One of those extra defensive tackles. There are some good ones, and the rotation needs them.

Oh geez. That's not good

They weren't very good tonight. I wouldn't keep Toia, Dunn or Withers over Brown. Plus, like with Brown, they would simply be inactive each week because there is no way with a 46/48 game-day limit that we are taking six DTs to games.

Yep, it's not that hard for them to do if they don't go with 10 OL, which I don't think they should. With 3 QBs and 6 WRs, I've got a 25/25 split between offense and defense.

I have them keeping 9 OL
And a 25/25 split also.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Scrubs? What makes jordan Hudson a scrub? Howell didn't make him leap over a defender in traffic.

I was more so talking about the turnstile offensive linemen he was out there with….either way he was out there with guys who won’t be on the 53 is my point.

The hole that they have is at offensive tackle.

Dunns been flashing a lot. I’d keep him over Brown.

Yeah, I'm just not impressed enough with the backup OL candidates to give up another spot on the roster to keep a 10th one. I mean, I'd be looking for a veteran backup OT, but with the guys we've got, I'd go with nine.

I do like what I've seen from Keegan, Leverett and Cornelius, but not to to point of keeping all three of them over players at other positions. (As I've written elsewhere, I think we can get Leverett to the PS. I mean, he's be cut by three teams.)

That does not mean they have to keep 10 OL because of it.

I don't think we'll have a problem getting Dunn to the practice squad.

I have them keeping Cornelius, and not Thomas.

I don’t think so either. I don’t think we will Brown either. The Brown thing is weird. He will never get reps enough to matter. Unless they plan on trading Pickens or Lamb.

 

[gimmesix]

Can't see that one. We haven't even played Cornelius at tackle this preseason, so we'd essentially be going without any swing tackle who had snaps at the position. I think Thomas is secure unless we go find a veteran swing tackle.

 

[rambo2]

That does not mean they have to keep 10 OL because of it.

It means they need a new player.

 

[gimmesix]

I don’t think so either. I don’t think we will Brown either. The Brown thing is weird. He will never get reps enough to matter. Unless they plan on trading Pickens or Lamb.

He doesn't have to get reps this year. He will be one of the inactive players. You keep him because he has showed enough to get claimed. He might not get claimed, but he has played well enough to deserve it. I don't take the chance. I think he's worth developing. Once Mingo is gone next year, he moves up to fifth on the depth chart and would be one injury away from playing because we don't use Turpin like a regular receiver.

 

[gimmesix]

Yeah, Thomas was the main reason Milton couldn't stay in the pocket tonight. He got worked on several snaps. I do think that is the one position where we may be looking for outside help.

Wasn't it the same oline Joe played with in the first game? He looked fine to me.
