More fumbles from Bell...

This concerns me too. It's not even full contact out there & he's put it on the floor a few times this week already & today he muffs the hand off. :1zhelp:

Ugh!!

Not what I wanted to read first thing in the morning.

"With Darren Sharper on the sidelines, S Usama Young looked promising. He filled holes quickly against the run, immediately closed on a few screens – once coming in hot to put a loud pop on Thomas – and earned consistent praise from defensive backs coach Dennis Allen for his efforts. Young also made a quick play in coverage to stop Shockey well short of a first down, with the fiery tight end slamming the ball to the turf. " From NOS.com B&G article linked above.

Gotta like the sound of that. Good for UY, a year late, IMO, but rather late than never.

Love to hear this. As others have pointed out, I'm hoping he wins the starting job and becomes a super star safety. He's got the physical skills and the aggressiveness. Let's hope it clicks and he rocks it.

I was also intrigued by the fact that they said Devery Henderson had a really nice punt return!

Duncan said there was no live punting yesterday.

Duncan said there was no live punting yesterday.

WR Devery Henderson turned in the best punt return, jittering after hauling in the ball before accelerating down the right sideline. Henderson is currently a few down the depth chart as the punt returner, but his speed on this particular return left the coverage behind…

FWIW, I've been hoping the Saints would put Devery back as a returner for some time now... The guy's got great speed, and he's dangerous as a runner with the rock in his hand.

After all the chatter about PT's dominance this offseason, I'm surprised there isn't more talk of his measly output.

 

[BayouCajun]

Big concern I have is the run defense. I just think this is going to be a huge problem, unless they are able to add to the depth at DT before the regular season starts. I like what I am hearing from the rest of the defense though, especially the secondary and the pass rush off the edges. We going against some hefty running backs this year.

The other concern I have is at RB beyond Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush. Mike Bell has a problem laying the rock on the turf to often. I like what I am hearing of the other three, Hamilton, Donaldson and Hill.

 

[Saints addic]

one concern......we can't win the NFC South unless we can stop the run.

Bingo! If we cant stop the run...our Defense will stay on the field limiting our offense and its ability, and we will be mediocre once again. This is my biggest concern with so much empahasis being placed on getting to the QB. I hope Charles and Will can multi task.

He is also dangerous on punt returns due to his rock hands. Devery is not sure handed enough to be on punt returns IMO.

I see what you mean... PRs must have good hands. I'd like to see him back on KRs though.

I'm wondering who those other NFL players were.

"K Garrett Hartley drilled all six of his field goal attempts"

The kid still hasn't missed. I hope he keeps it up, one less thing to worry about.

 

[FootballLady]

Yes ma'am.

That's better.
