Thompson and Benwikere met to study the playbook Thursday night.  So, that would suggest to me that he is a bit lost for the moment.  It also suggests that Benwikere is awesome.

Rookies always are at this time of year.

Good to hear he's seeking help, though.

Yes, I would not read anything into it. 

 

In June 2007, I was new to this lowly forum, and I started a thread based on the 2007 rookies I saw at OTAs.  Understand that it was one of the last days of OTAs, so you want to see who is clicking and who is not.   

 

I was very disappointed to report that Dwayne Jarrett was lost.  He was jogging in routes, looking around as if he was lost.  Steve Smith ripped him repeatedly.  Jarrett just stood there with his hands on his hips, as if Smitty wasn't there. 

 

Beason looked great.  I was watching him in a goal line drill right in front of me.  I was behind the defense.  He repeatedly beat the back to the hole.  For the first time, I realized how instinctive and technically sound you really have to be to play LB.  It would be hard enough if all you had to worry about was the run.  He was small, but I thought he would be great.

 

Back to Jarrett.  I hoped he would get better, but that never really happened.  If Shaq is having the same confusion at the end of OTAs, there might be reason for concern; however, I doubt Hurney put the players through the white board test like Gettlemen does.

Replace the Hebrew Hammer?  Say it ain't so :(

 

I don't think so, but you never know.  I am guessing the LBs will be as follows--

 

TDavis, Kuechly, Thompson

Glanton, Mayo, Klein

Blechen (my dark-horse candidate), Trusnik

 

I doubt they keep 8 LBs, but they could keep 7.  Blechen probably goes to PS, but if he does well, you could see Klein getting cut or traded.

 

I see a three-way competition for 2 positions (Blechen, Glanton, Klein), assuming Trusnik makes it, and I expect that he will.  Since we should no longer have Reddick and Jacobs as backups, you have to know we got stronger at LB this offseason.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
