Name your top 3 things to watch in Preseason Game 1

It’s officially the first gameday of the season folks! I want to see what y’all are most excited to see against the Jags.

For me:

1. Tight end position battle

We’ve seen what Brees can do with even just an above average tight end. He makes them special.

I’m assuming Watson is pretty much a lock here but can we say the same about Hill or Hooman? Maybe, but I would love to see one of either Dan Arnold or Deon Yelder step up and take one of the tight end spots by the balls. Arnold has gotten a lot of attention so far with his receiving skills so I’m hoping he can put that on display in a game.

2. Backup RB

We’ve got Scott, West, Vereen, and Williams fighting for likely two spots behind our studs. Scott is the guy I’m most excited about. When we drafted him my first thought was that he seemed like a guy that SP had a specific vision for. He just seems tailor-made for our offense. I wanna see him work in space with some screens and toss plays.

3. Defensive tackle

We’ve got our 3 locks (IMO) of Onyemata, Rankins, and Davison. DT is a position where depth is crucial to keep the big guys fresh so it would be nice to have someone start to separate themselves for that 4th spot. I’ve heard Loewen and Bromley’s names come up a lot so I’ll be looking for them. George Johnson is a guy to keep an eye on as well. I remember him playing well for us at the end of last year.

Honorable mention: WR
Dear football Jesus please give me a Tre’quan Smith bomb over A.J. Bouye on the opening play thank you god bless.

TL;DR
Saints goin’ to the ship
