Saints Training Camp Updates: Day 7, July 31st (1 Viewer)

Isn't that a concerning position that no one is talking about? We are relying on an undrafted. Where Foster? Jimmy should be considered.

I think we’re just excited about a potential UDFA gem developing into a contributor at TE, not that we’re relying on Holker. Juwan is still the guy at traditional TE1 for now. Since he’s been rehabbing on the side at practice, Holker’s gotten 1st team reps to help his development. Foster is still a reliable TE2 who blocks and makes key catches but won’t make highlight reels.

Taysom is effectively the starting TE above Juwan based on how much TH will be on the field as a FB/TE. Between Taysom and Juwan, I think we’re fine at TE this year. We can definitely still use Jimmy as a big target in the RZ and third downs.

I’ll take it. That would mean that we are getting more production than his previous years combined.

That Olave, Shaheed, Tipton package is going to be killer. Probably the fastest trio of WRs we have ever had.

Raideresque.

By Raider standards, three 4.3 WRs means we got three 1st round WRs and we didn’t have to draft 2 of them.

Sheed’s going to continue prove that he has 1st round WR ceiling. Right now, Tipton seems like he could’ve been a 2nd-3rd round pick in the 2024 draft. Olave, Sheed and Tipton looks like they can become a great trio to build around for the future.

Are they off today? What’s the deal?

Nick’s camp summary from today said Carr was “sacked” on 6 of his 14 drop backs today. That is very abnormal, needless to say, and has me feeling more like we have a significant OL issue brewing as opposed to us suddenly finding an awesome unstoppable pass rush.

Hopefully this is just growing pains with the new system, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

Could also be the installation process of a completely new offense where the linemen are required to do more than they’ve ever had to do before. It sometimes takes a while for that to become second nature - but to your point, I’m cautiously optimistic that it’s the defense taking a step forward.

Looks like DT Kristian Boyd is making this team. He was a monster in one on one Wednesday.

And here I was thinking someone would steal an Orji w/ Grupes

He plays w/ power. I think his short arms hinder him, he can create movement...struggles to disengage. If he can learn a one handed long arm to maximize his length and free his other hand up to separate or dip/rip he'll be better for it. Did see him do a push pull technique that obliterated a blocker on one rep.
