I was shocked that Higgins didn't make it. Absolutely shocked.

I was on the Higgins bandwagon too. Did they keep Daniel Graham instead? He better block like a monster.

I don't think there's a problem with Higgins getting back to the practice squad. That's probably their thinking.

I didn't see Daniel Graham do anything to make the roster. Higgins is solid enough for PS again if available.

My only real surprise was them keeping two FBs again. Are teams really gonna be scrambling to sign Korey Hall? Seems like keeping 5 RBs or 6 WRs would be a lot easier without two fullbacks.

Maybe they dont wanna go with Dave Thomas as the backup FB again because of his concussions.

I think they're hoping he makes it to the PS. But he was probably the casualty in trying to keep 5 RBs and 6 WRs

IMO hall was kept because of our LB injuries. Special teams all the way

we always pull a lot of our ST guys from our LB corp or safety. Injuries at LB are making those guys play more snaps, at least for the moment

Saints have lost Moran Norris and Vonta Leach that way. Both turned out to be pretty good. You'd be surprised.

He is known more for his blocking really. Never has been a featured pass catching TE.

I hope there is a veteran CB available after these final cuts. I don't think Elbert Mack is the answer.

No, Toon can't come back because he did not make the initial 53 man roster. Basically, that rule only applies to injuries incurred in week one and after.

He was way to far behind at this point anyway.

The answer at cb4?

Who exactly are you hoping to sign as a 4th cb. Better yet give me 2 good 4th corner backs in the NFL without going through a list of players.
