Sheldon Rankins, David Onyemata, Tyeler Davison, Taylor Stallworth (4) Since the other four possess different strengths, that’s probably the best strategy until one of them emerges as the strongest option. This season we’ll likely see a frequent rotation at right end opposite Jordan. Hendrickson had good moments last season, but the Saints showed a lack of trust in him by minimizing his playing time even after Okafor went down. Davenport is a huge investment who may only be a situational pass rusher early on. Okafor is coming off an Achilles tear from 2017, along with a bone bruise and sprained ankle suffered last month. The Saints have one clear star in Jordan, but there are questions regarding every other player. This group reminds me of the wide receiver situation. Defensive End – BĬameron Jordan, Alex Okafor, Marcus Davenport, Trey Hendrickson, Mitchell Loewen (5)
New orlean saints roster 2018 full#
With Armstead yet to play a full season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Bushrod on the field, and he’ll have to play better than he did last month. Bushrod is transitioning back to the position after spending the last two seasons at right guard and had a few bad reps in pass protection during the preseason. The only concern here is the lack of depth on the outside with Bushrod being the only backup tackle. Hopefully next year he can make a better case for the roster. He did clear waivers though and will continue his development on the practice squad. After starting just one year at tackle in college, it was clear Leonard was a project player, so this cut shouldn’t be too surprising. Rookie fourth-round pick Rick Leonard missed the cut after spending most of the summer as the third-string offensive tackle. The offense will miss Ingram early on, but they’ll survive with the combination of Kamara, Scott, and Edmunds.
However, it’s hard to gauge his running ability after seeing only nine carries from him last season. Edmunds spent all of the preseason at fullback after backing up Kamara and Ingram at running back last season, giving him valuable versatility. Scott had some good runs during the preseason, but he lacks size, and will probably see more action in the passing game. Williams looked like the most physical runner on the roster and led the team in preseason rushing attempts. Jonathan Williams was easily the Saints most surprising roster cut after he seemingly won the battle to replace Ingram. However, this could change in the coming days as veteran running backs from other teams become available. Following roster cuts, the Saints are left with two inexperienced backs to help Kamara fill the void. Ingram’s four-game suspension is the only thing preventing this group from getting an A+.
