Arnold and Butler or Lil'Jordan. Whichever has been more impressive in practice, IMO. Arnold should be a no brainer since he can actually line up at WR too since he's a converted WR to TE.

My guess is they will add a WR.... then some other position that makes no sense (like Safety) to the 53... because, that's what heroes do.

The Saints worked out some other players yesterday. They probably need some STs help since Kirkwood took some ST snaps and Robertson may be getting more D snaps at LB.

Didn't Arnold play ST when he was active last year? And last year, when Robertson took significant snaps at LB in those few games, he still played his ST reps, didn't he? I get your point though.

Arnold's ST snaps last year were less than 2%. Craig's were over 80% ST and 8.5% D last year (short goal line and when he filled in for injuries IIRC). This year so far Craig has 0% D and about 40% ST.

I wonder how and when Granderson gets worked into the scheme. Shame about Anzalone. He's starting to remind me of Ellerbe in that he can't stay on the field.

Hardly similar levels of absence! Beware the anecdotal evidence bias.

 

[Hey BAY BAY!!!]

With Stallworth released is Rankins on his way back?

Maybe an O'lineman … Or maybe a Dolphins trade in the works
