The most important position battle note from day two of camp is that the Saints, after getting a look at Paulson Adebo opposite Marshon Lattimore yesterday, gave veteran corner Bradley Roby those snaps today. Roby performed well. The former Houston Texans defensive back was brought in last year via trade to take over the second cornerback spot last offseason. However, Adebo was then drafted, given the Week 1 start while Roby served his suspension and then never relinquished the role.<\/p>\n
With Adebo and Roby getting looks the first two days, it’s reasonable to expect that the Saints brass will give rookie Alontae Taylor a run at it for day three. Today, Taylor focused on snaps with other units, but also got some looks at punt gunner, another position up for grabs. New Orleans knows how important their special teams unit is to the team’s success. Safety JT Gray is a first-team all-pro as a special teamer, but need to find another player that can impact opposite him. Including Taylor and Adebo, New Orleans gave 18 different players reps on the outside in punt coverage.<\/p>\n
At left tackle, veteran James Hurst had dominated first-team snaps on Wednesday, but rookie Trevor Penning got into the mix on Thursday. Great to see that on the second day of camp. We’ll see if the Northern Iowa alum continues to demand snaps with the first unit. If Penning can win the starting left tackle spot, it’s a best-case scenario for the Saints. But, if he’s not ready, going ahead with Hurst is a far venture from anything they’d consider a bad situation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
