RT @willeevee: Meachem #2 this year? ... I expect some big games from Meachem, but L.Moore to be more consistent No. 2 option.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @willeevee: Will Colstons knees hold up? ... I think so. He looked good in last preseason game, with Brees targeting him early & often.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @spr18: Who starts at end with Will Smith? ... I expect a combination of Turk McBride, Cameron Jordan in different formations.

RT @Saintsfan422: Fabian Washington move to IR bad news for Saints? ... No, he was gonna have hard time beating out Torrence, Patrick anyway

RT @super2510: will we keep 2 kickers on roster or will Hartley go to IR ... Dont think Hartleys injury is that bad, but dont know for sure.

RT @KidKreole: Who do you predict as the starting OLBs? ... Ill go with Herring, Shanle for first snap, but Casillas will get plenty of P.T.

RT @LJSunTzu: does brees deal get done before the season? ... Definite possibility. He's next in line, and both sides want to do it.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @spm6110: Why not just cut him? ... If you mean Washington, it comes down to whether player is willing to accept injury settlement offer.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @chrisvanbuskirk: Change your mind on Arrington yet? ... Wont be surprised either way, but hes off my 53 for now, esp. if they keep 2 Ks.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @bboy2345: Is there anything Adrian can do tonight or is it a numbers game to make the roster ... Numbers. Saints know what he can do.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

Arrington might indeed make the #Saints roster. I'm just saying that it won't depend on what he does tonight.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @bigrcc99: does Tom Johnson make this roster? ... I think so, but the lingering calf injury hasn't helped him nail down a spot.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @SHANEdaWHOdat: what's gonna happen with Joseph morgan. In your opinion? ... Think they'll release him, get him back on practice squad.

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @beattiemcneal: any chance mitch king makes the roster? ... Definitely. Especially if A.Franklin and T.Johnson won't be ready for Week 1.

Official_Saints New Orleans Saints

QB Sean Canfield gets the start tonight for the Saints!

miketripletttp Mike Triplett

RT @SHANEdaWHOdat: what about chris ivory pup? I don't see them releasing him flat out. ... Definitely. It's either PUP or active roster.

Yep

Can’t wait. College FB starts this weekend and the regular season starts on Sept 8 when we go to Green Bay. The wife says thanks to the Commish for the birthday present! She says the Saints better win or it will ruin everything. Such a drama queen!

He has lots of help

Paid my $4.99 to watch this stinker. But it hasn’t all been on Canfield—rookie receiver looks away before the catch, ball bobbled, intercepted. Joique has looked OK. Lots of reps for Jr this game, but must admit, lots of dust on the Offensive side of my roster card.

Yeah the 4th pre-season game is never good. Nothing but scraps

The only mystery left is whether each offensive series will end with a fumble or an interception. 3-2-1 so far (1 for the safety). Think this will make the cut decisions easier?

I know the Saints play the Titans again this season

but I think SP has done enough trying to lull them in……

Wow. Punt return.

Is there anything they can’t stink up tonight? I know, 4th preseason dregs, but these are good kids and they should be fighting to survive. This earns 3-1/2 out of 4 bags.

Is there anything they can’t stink up tonight?

Which is why it’s a scraps game of 3rd and 4th stringers. There will be alot of cuts.
