Football season is slowly creeping up on us, and if there was a time for the Saints to have some luck with rookies contributing right away, then this is the year.

The big key will always be injuries and a few of our rookies have question marks on their durability.

Lattimore, Williams, Ramczyk, and Kamara should all factor in early. Anzalone, if he can stay healthy, will push for major playing time.

Should be a fun training camp, and I just pray that maybe we got our major injuries out the way early this year.

I'm excited to see Lattimore this year. Assuming Breaux's spotty health last year was the reason he fell off a cliff, it could be the most improved position group of any team in the league.

Actually, it was lucky that it happened before camp, as they have had time to account for it. What ever they decide to do with LT and DT will have been in place throughout camp. They can prepare properly.

Can't wait for this place to overreact the first time Lattimore gets burned

Am I a bad fan for wanting him to ball out not for Saints success but for all the Great and Horrible jokes on here that will ensue.

I guess intent only matters in court.

I think Hendrickson makes the biggest impact on the field this season.

I can't wait to see what Kamara does and this offense. He was one of the best testing running back's at the combine. I've heard a few great things here and there about him but I have never actually saw him practice yet, but I think he's going to be a big addition to this offense

He is a rookie. I fully expect him to get burned a few times, but he has the skill set to become great.

I'm PRAYING Ramcyzk can step in and do well right away.

The defense sucks, but if we go into the season with a horrible left tackle...we're gonna be so screwed.

I don't know. Losing 3 of our top lineman so far with no definitive time table on return before TC even starts has knocked some air out of my sails.

TC hasn't been kind to us in a long time. My excitement hinges solely on surviving TC and preseason with minimal? injuries.

We have talent but some flaws are already exposed. Onyemata and Davison have big shoes to fill, we need Unger back early in the season, and we have no depth on the line to take losing another tackle.

I mean Drew Brees will clearly have the biggest impact on the field but I think Hendrickson will be the star of this rookie class
